    2014 Build tips and advice

    Well it's official, bought a 2014 Black Raptor 55k traded in my car for 20k. Only thing I'm missing is the SE package, which when it comes down to it should I miss out on buying a raptor for red and black interior and rims that I don't like that much and would replace anyways? I think not...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Oh yeah I'm pre-approved already for the loan, so I'm not concerned about that. But got KBB does the instant offer, I might as well do that and get the 22k opposed to dealing with these guys, because they are straight assholes. On the link I see F150 but not Raptor, since they are producing...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Exactly, what I was going for. I went there to only show them the trade and do the deal and sure enough he wasn't there, I'm going to see what the two other dealers around me say, and then I'm reaching out to any dealership I can find, I'll even reach back to my Syracuse Dealerships that I am...

    I went to the dealership and of course the guy I talked to on the phone wasn't there even though I made an appointment with him for that time. Anyways long story short they offered me 17k for my trade.... I walked out that is such a low-ball it's not funny, I'm gonna try some more but if that...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Exactly as RDFTS said, I would prefer to not get a credit inquiry, plus I monitor my credit frequently and I like knowing exactly who is hitting my credit and that hit is for taking out a loan, not to just look at it even if it is a soft inquiry, I've seen what dealerships can do with a credit...

    I'm fine with putting down a deposit and I'm fine with showing them the loan paperwork and appraising my car, what more do they need? There is no reason why they shouldn't be able to order or build a car without a credit check, if I'm financing through them then by all means run my credit, but...

    Oh Yeah no I'm not expecting it to by any means, I'm just rounding up lol, just typing quickly, they quoted me 4-5 months, I'm going to start tomorrow and call each Ford dealership in my area and see what they have to say, I have this deal in the works not official but it can't hurt to hear what...

    I always do, but I wanted to make sure signing was part of the procedure because I want to have signatures on the deal before it arrives, I don't want any surprises in 2 months when it arrives

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Should I be signing the paperwork at the build date? I'm thinking if I don't sign paperwork and the truck finally arrives they can screw me over and increase the price, is that possible?

    Are you thinking the Infiniti Dealership could buy my car from me and give me better value because it's an Infiniti?

    2014 Build tips and advice

    I've already had two of the three dealerships quote me a trade price without seeing my vehicle. They asked about a credit check and I said there is no need I have my own financing I just need to know when I need the financing at the order date or at the delivery date. I will be getting 1.49%...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    I know I think I'm going to start calling around on Monday, I think I'm going to start asking for the general manager, I think the internet guys are annoying to because they are just looking to make a sales, each one I have dealt with has been overly pushy and not helpful, the point is because...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Well this is the first dealer that is letting me build and order a raptor that is the only reason I'm dealing with them, but it was still very annoying to do, I'm thinking I should be able to sit at a computer with them and pick what I want, literally was sitting in the middle of showroom floor...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Oh I thought it was a dealer accessory, I want the tonneau cover that is a hard top, I think the body-color fiberglass ones look the best, but I also like the ones that are hard folding or I like the Avalanche they lock together and easily can be taken off. From experience I will never buy the...

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Yes, that's exactly what I was getting at, I just want to be at about 35k in a loan. I was actually thinking of ordering from Virginia or SC if I really can't find what I am looking for with the dealerships in NC. I think there are some dealerships open tomorrow I might give a call to, to...

    I have been to three dealerships already and they were offering me 24k for my car, however, it was for like 2013 Raptors or used Raptors and I'm like well that's not what I want I'd rather build but they couldn't build them.

    2014 Build tips and advice

    Okay, so all I know about pricing is what I am seeing through Ford's website. I'm going for Tux Black, 801A, hood graphics, SE, Moonroof, front/rear camera, bed extender and bed liner, on the Ford website it comes to 58k, I'm fine with paying that price as I should be able to get 25k for trade...

    So I went in to my nearest Ford Dealer today and after calling my sales rep earlier in the week to let him know I was coming in to Order today, I found out that in fact I could not order today, He told me I would need to come back on Monday because the Ford Rep would be available to place the...

    Low perch to top perch to mid perch in 18 hours

    Isn't the point to level the front with the rear? Is the front on the bottom perch and the rear on the mid perch for stock set-up? My understanding was the back of the truck sat higher than the front for the stock set up, like I said I'm new and this will be my first raptor and it's still not...

    Low perch to top perch to mid perch in 18 hours

    Am I thinking of this wrong? Does the bottom perch raise the ride height and the top perch lower the ride height?

    Low perch to top perch to mid perch in 18 hours

    I'm really new to truck suspensions and especially new to the Raptor, maybe this question is dumb, but if the top perch is not good, and the mid perch is better, wouldn't the bottom perch be best? For street driving and casual off-road use whether it was launching a boat or driving down dirt...
