Preordering a 2018

[verbal]

So it looks like I missed the boat on ordering a 2017. I wasn't ready to buy one until summer anyways until my MDX lease expires.

I talked to one of the biggest dealers in my area for allocations and they said they sold all of their allocations already (15) for MSRP. The sales person said their regional rep did indicate there would not be another production run for 2017. He did say that I could order a 2018 model now at MSRP.

With the popularity of the Raptors, I am wondering if I should preorder at MSRP. What do you guys think? I would hate to miss out again.

What dealer is this at?

If you want one, you should get on a list. They haven't even announced allocation yet, so the closer to the top of the list you are, the better chance you have of getting one.

Do you already have a list?

@13COBRA - What do dealers usually require for you to order so far in advance? Are deposits usually refundable?

I just wanna get on a list for 2019.

Order banks for the 2018 model open in July, according to the Ford Raptor forums.

I require $2,000, and it is nonrefundable.

There is no point for me to take a refundable deposit; all it does is tie my hands from selling the vehicle, and allows the consumer to keep shopping for a vehicle elsewhere.

So if you only receive 3 allocations are the other 2 getting their money back? How far into production cycle will you know how many allocations you're getting?

Oh of course they'd get their money back. We'll know a few weeks before the order banks open.

The nonrefundable deposits are for guaranteed delivery. Only way they'd get their money back is if I couldn't produce a vehicle, or the vehicle that came in was not described correctly.

I'm guessing that $2k is then applied to the purchase of the vehicle? I need to find a dealer ASAP...

I know I'm jinxing myself but...RR better be available MY18.

Correct, the $2k goes towards the vehicle.

I still can't decide whether I'd want another Raptor, or an F250 this time.

I chose an F-250...and would choose it again. But that's just me.

If that is true, how far off would production be? Does anyone know what it was for 2017?

I'd choose Raptor, but I already have an F-350.
