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 much more familiar with.

I am afraid of them stopping production though because they aren't producing the Raptor next year.

In CA, they will only offer you wholesale on most cars, even if their like new with low mileage. Best to sell it outright or go to Car Max. Most dealers don't want your trade in. You need to find a dealer close to invoice with out any trade. Easier for you and for them.

There going to be building them for awhile, but demand is high and fairly limited production.

you need to start over period. buy at 500 or less over invoice (dealers list here) on the phone and go pick it up and drive it home. sell your car to car max .get your own loan . make the dealer earn the loan after being pre approved at your bank.

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 ********.


On the link I see F150 but not Raptor, since they are producing the raptor next year doesn't that raise concern for stopping production on them and stopping orders on them?

Well maybe there will be three of us in the area rocking Raptors if I can get this to work. Where did you buy yours from?

Abice, so where did you go to order your Raptor? How did your overall deal come out?
