Ask a Ford salesman anything (Incentives, Inventory, etc)

So maybe you can give a better answer to this.

Why cant on screen NAV be added to a 2012 Focus SEL with MyFord Touch already installed? From what I have been able to find by reading, if you have MyFord Touch, on screen NAV is already built in, but it is disabled unless you ordered the car with it (or if it came with it off the lot). Is there some technical reason I'm missing for why this cant be activated after the fact? I know the car has GPS already since I can get turn by turn directions through Sync Services. Seems like there would have to be a way to activate the on screen nav after the fact if customers were willing to pay for it. This is just more of a tech question then anything else. I have a 2012 Focus SEL with MyFord Touch and no on screen NAV (I use nav on my iPhone), so it got me wondering. :)

So if you dont want NAV or the titanium handling package, why get a Titanium? I have a 2012 SEL, black, leather, MyFord Touch (No on screen NAV, but I can get turn by turn directions through Sync services), Sirius, etc. What else are you getting on the Titanium that you dont get on the SEL?

Im looking at a loaded Titanium in black with everything but nav and the titanium handling package. What is a realistic discount on one of those? I am a Sams Club member. What's this about a brochure discount?

And as a side note, does anyone know the ground clearance of the 5 door? Can't find it anywhere...

The sports suspension and intelligent access?

Exactly. Those are the only two things the Titanium has the SEL does not.

And both of those are things I want, especially the intelligent access.

You are forgetting the Sport Suspension (This is not the Titanium Handling Package). It is only available on the Titanium.

When you are xplan they are required to show and give you a copy of the invoice. Also doc fee is a max of 75. Once you print your pin you can tell them that. Any questions message me.

And the black bezels on the headlamps and fog lamps, different rim choices, and rear spoiler for sedan, not available on SEL sedan.

Also, the seat fabric is different when you get the cloth seats and shifter handle is leather wrapped on the Titanium with either cloth or leather seats.

Yellow Blaze tricoat not available on SEL.
