Nice car, congrats. My brother just bought a new '23 BW. It's a nice car, great handling, sounds amazing. I didn't jump on it too much as he was still in the break in range so I can't speak to the power. I would still take my 750i over it on the interior alone, but I'm an old man and those things matter to me.
The difference is, in 2 years my 750i will be worth less than half of what the BW will be. They hold their value well. My only complaint with it was the dash looked cheap. Other than that cool car AO, good luck with it.

You tune these???

Twin Cities Performance tunes them. Look them up on Facebook. These guys built my camaro and vette. They are 1000%.

They had a 200 mile blackwing last time I was there. It made ~700 whp with kong ported blower and meth.

They told me that the 10A picks up 40 to 50 whp over the 6Ms. I guess this is true for ZL1s, too. ****ing weird.

i went back to see if they lowered the price on the bronco raptor and nearly spit my coffee out when I saw they raised it up another 5k from when I was there...it's now 20k over sticker! i can't even imagine paying 116k for that thing...don't get me wrong, it's nice but it sure as hell aint twice as nice as the jeep 392! and the 392 would SMOKE it in a drag race as well...ford is smoking crack on these...i'll grab one next year when they are 45k. link to the criminals...

Thanks for posting this. MSRP is already ridiculous. ADM's make me lose interest in new cars completely. Further strengthens my decision to avoid car dealers for the foreseeable future.

1. These won't be $45k next year...the following year...or the following year.
2. I offered you to order one at MSRP and you passed, at that point, I'm not sure why it matters what another dealer is advertising theirs at. I don't really care if you or anyone else wants to 'bash' car dealers, but is it more helpful for the community here for you to post a link to an overpriced one, or mention that you had a line on one at MSRP that you passed on?
3. The 392 would smoke it in a drag race....but who the hell wants to drag race off road SUVs?

Nearly 1000 of them available on AT nationwide... LOL at the one for $168k that is used.

sorry, didnt meant to offend you and trust me, i considered your deal. i just don't understand the dealers IN THIS ECONOMY selling over msrp, these things are sitting...i have 15-20 them in my 30 mile area on cargurus. isnt that enough to say we need to lower the price?

my blackwing was 30k over since april...they have slowly lowered the price as it didnt sell and I got it for msrp...to me that makes sense.

I could pick up the phone and sell 20 Bronco Raptors for $10k+ over to dealers.

I'm not sure why so many are sitting near you.

No offense taken

Tesla has an interesting strategy of ass raping existing customers to gain incrementally more customers, who will be ass raped in the near future in pursuit of incrementally fewer new customers.

Very good choice on the Blackwing

Yeah hard pass on the plaid and bronco raptor.

Oh yeah. A couple months ago I test drove a new X, but decided to go with another MYP. IMO, the MX Plaid is just not worth Twice the price of a MYP. Good move for me.

Though a new sub-90K Plaid is tempting, I'm good for a while with my new Y.

At the rate you go through vehicles does it really matter what the sticker says?

Rosco P · Sep 7, 2023

Nice ride.

There’s a BW close to me with 2500 miles that’s below the original msrp. I am seriously considering making it happen.

you won't regret it...this motor is much more aligned in this car than it was in the zed 06. Just feels much more sorted. imagine if they put the lt5 in it instead??? lol. dam.

With the M8 gone, guess its time to update your avatar.

Raptor (Bronco and F150) pricing positions sure have changed over the years. Gen 1 Raptors were in the mid 50's and there were other F150's that were priced higher. Just also think, when they 1st came out, people questioned if they would sell.......

DONE! lol...

The sad part is those trucks are nice and well equipped but the reason they are not selling is because of insane pricing. Interested to see how low they will go in the future with so many stuck on lots.

Would never pay over sticker for any car and I see you manage your money well ArabianOak. Would you have opted for a manual ct5V-BW if there was one on the lot?
