Not sure where you’re at but I mentioned the same thing in another post. California wants to go all electric by 2040. Dealerships want the California market and correct me if I’m wrong, they usually pander to said market because of its size and make California acceptable vehicles across the...

Lmao I didn’t notice that when following the thread. I did notice your first comment and thought it meant you drove very cautiously. I average about 17.6 the from DFW in Texas to the Central Valley area in California. About 1700 miles at 17.6 mpg with the ac on the entire time and keeping to...

I’m in the same boat there. No real vices other than spending money on things I probably don’t need and can live without, but don’t really want to. I live in a small town in California where the cost of living is a fraction of big cities all while I get paid more to do a job here than I would in...

People pay to get out of relationships all the time man, it’s called divorce. From what I hear it ain’t cheap. That’s why murder was invented though.

wow that’s surprising to me. That’s like the cost of an enclosed transport. Welp, this is as good an excuse to fly out and drive it back. I don’t know where you are buying exactly but it’s probably about a 1k mike trip, give or take. You can do that in a weekend! Great opportunity to enjoy the...

i honestly think driving it back is more expensive than shipping, at least in my case it was, but it’s so much more fun and there is a certain peace of mind in not having to trust someone else with your vehicle. To ship from Texas to California I was quoted anywhere from 800-1500. I decide to...

I care about resale value AND mpg so I guess I really really can’t afford my truck! But in all honesty I do care about those things. Resale value only because I may want to trade it in for another raptor and why would I want to have less money when I could have more money? MPG because I live in...

I checked in through Costco auto. They won’t do specialty vehicles which is what they consider a raptor. They’ll answer your email and try to get in contact with you but from the 3 separate locations I tried in different states before I bought my raptor they all said the same thing, raptor isn’t...

I don’t know about the electric trucks taking over, whether they will or won’t, but they aren’t something that I’m interested in at the moment. I do know that California is trying to go all electric vehicles by 2040 and that means something to all dealerships who want to sell here. Not saying I...

I’d contact some dealerships here in the 559 area code and see what they’d give you. I imagine the photos would be enough for them to give you a solid offer and it’s not too far away from you. Someone on this forums gonna get an awesome deal if they buy from you though. I KBBd it just for fun...

I’m actually surprised a dealer didn’t offer you more, especially considering it’s California. They try to sell raptors for 80-90k lightly used in my neck of the woods here in the Central Valley. If I didn’t own a raptor already I’d think that is a very reasonable price especially considering...

That’s the one. California buyers need not worry after seeing that.

Don’t need it on the sticker. Just bought one out of state a few weeks ago and literally passed smog today in California. The only thing the stops you from being able to buy it without emissions being stated in the sticker is a dealer unwilling to take a risk that isn’t there. If you are a...

Yeah that is. The Msrp is 120 but dealerships are more willing to move on price with those than non Shelby raptors. I guess that isn’t surprising but it’s kind of funny.

I don’t know about that exactly. Dogget Ford in Houston offered me 6k under msrp because I said I don’t really care for the graphics package and that was on an 802a. I didn’t really try to negotiate as I had something else lined up in Texas and was just double checking deals. Granted you may...

I think the easiest way to find raptor inventory, at least personally for me is to read up on threads and see what states they bought in. After that just google ford dealerships in the state and visit the site directly. I talked to dozens of dealerships this way just getting info and numbers and...

Those rims are awesome, love that color and awesome truck. I came from a 2018 Tacoma and there is a night and day difference between the amount of enjoyment I get out of the raptor vs the Tacoma. Even in the Tacoma forums they will readily admit the sluggish feel of it. Also, the fuel economy...

That’s a gut punch for sure. Heart completely set on a scab where a screw would make you unhappy?

I flew into DFW and picked it up in Sachse. Having never been to Texas before I thought it was such a beautiful state as I was driving through it. Way less litter along the highway and better roads than what I experience in California. Makes me wonder where my tax money goes when people vote for...

Thanks! Yeah the only thing it didn’t have were the graphics, which is fine by me since they don’t show up well on black anyway. As for accessories, haven’t really thought that far ahead yet. I shall be browsing the forums for ideas for sure though. At the moment I’m thinking mostly minor...

I would try Dogget Ford in Houston. I didn’t take them up on their offer but they offered me about 6k off msrp. I even had them send me a picture under the hood showing California emissions compliant and sure enough it had the proof under the hood that other members swear upon.

I think it’s because dealers don’t necessarily know everything even about the vehicles they are trying to sell and they don’t want to take a risk because of their lack of knowledge in the area, no disrespect intended towards salesmen. It isn’t the window sticker the other members are referring...

I’m not so good of the picture taking. This was just random ones as I picked it up.

Hey you guys, Just got back from my road trip from Texas and am a new raptor owner!! I ended up purchasing a lightly used 2019 fully loaded raptor from an older gentleman who took very good care of it. I debated a new 2020 but ultimately went used as the savings were too good to pass up with...

They offered me that price over a month ago I imagine if they still have it they might go lower or toss in some add ons. Can’t hurt to ask.
