2018 F150 Raptor. About to buy. Thoughts?

[ElCoyote]

Living in Southern California, it’s damn near impossible to get a 2nd Gen Raptor at MSRP.

I’m able to get one for 5k above MSRP at a “local” dealer just the way I want it.
$1,000 deposit (goes towards the truck) and the truck will be delivered in 8-12 weeks.

*White, 800A Package, Crew Cab, no options*

Thoughts from those in an area where Raptor markup is rampant??

Is it possible to order out of state a California spec truck at MSRP? I personally wouldn't pay over MSRP for one but that markup isn't terrible.

I recommend buying out of state and have it shipped to either your home or the nearest dealership. Then you can try to get some options instead of bare bone.

Over sticker for an 800A? Hell no.

Did you use Raptor Finder and try to locate one on there?

Order out of state and drive it back in. Even down here where there are markups for the 801 and 802 they can't move the 800s without selling at MSRP or a tad under.

Not a chance in hell I pay 5k over for an 800A.

Not a chance in hell I'd pay over MSRP for any car.

If you’re willing to pay a $5K ADM on an 800A, why not move up to an 801A and pay MSRP?

I wish I had one to sell you.

I would order one from a Midwest store and have it shipped.

People have said on here California Raptors are very expensive. That being said I drove through two dealers that were stacked with them on the lot just the other week. I laughed considering people just were paying over sticker a few months back.

I drive by a used white (Supercrew) one twice a day.

Down here 8k over is the going rate

Do you think he'd still come out money ahead after paying shipping costs, etc.? Or were you talking about some kind of inter-dealer transfer?

WAY money ahead.

I've sold several cars to forum members and had them drop-shipped from the manufacturer. The manufacturer does not charge any extra, the dealership who receives it usually charges a $150-500 courtesy delivery charge.

local dealer has at least 4 if I remember right, asking at least 5k over on em

Down where? My 2018 order was $0 deposit and MSRP.

You simply cant find a Raptor at MSRP in Southern California. THose who don’t live here just don’t get it.
ALSO, most out of state dealers won’t sell to a CA customer. They think we’re going to turn around and flip it for profit inside of CA.

Who gets the holdback on that deal?

The dealer who ordered it.
