2018 Raptors under sticker

[bfr]

Hey bud I ended up with a 2018 which IMO is a better deal anyways as it is the newest MY at this point I wouldn't want a 17 unless it was under sticker

Agreed. After all the crap with crazy ADMs I've kind of settled on just keeping my perfectly fine 2011. Fixed all the stuff that broke in-warranty but I never brought to the dealer in time...so now my butts warm and I have a rearview camera. haha. My nearest dealer (~2hrs away) is still trying to get $7500 over for a 2017. No thanks. Guess I'm not much of a peacock!

Yea no way! anyone that would buy a 17 at any markup is nuts at this point.

Most people think anyone who spends $70k on a pickup truck is nuts.

We are nuts to pay that but its our money and we love some raptors!

Once I find a nice LFG or AG close to invoice I'm in but until then my 2013 Roush is just fine.

I'm reaching out to Auto Nation on the first post to see what they say and will report back.

Good luck seeing something like this in California.

I'm sure with all the bad weather in Texas and Florida there will be a surplus of Raptors not getting sold.

Auto Nation replied. They listed the 17 AG for sale again showing it under msrp but if you try and buy or ask about it they let you know it is sold. They are willing to sell the 18's pictured above at msrp though.

So not and ADM but not under msrp yet.

Just an FYI.

Auto Nation follow about again. They stated their dealers back west are getting "10k-15k" over msrp so at this time msrp is the best deal they will offer.

From a business point of view if your other stores are getting over msrp ship your trucks to them vs getting msrp at your store.

So the 1k under msrp on this dealer was BS. I even offered to build one the way I want if that helped and they said no thanks.

They're not shipping those trucks west because the AutoNation dealers around here asking 10k-15k over are already sitting on a dozen unsold Raptors.

These trucks would sell in a heartbeat if they lower the price to MSRP, but everyone who was willing to pay stupidly excessive ADMs around here has already done it. Maybe they could still squeeze 2k-3k out of people, but that 10k-15k boat has already sailed.

^ agreed I think they are so stuck in the mindset that people will always be willing to pay those kinds of mark ups. I am sorry but it is now on its 2nd MY and now that 18s are every where no reason to ever pay a mark up.

Only a matter of a few more months before all these dealers in "Hot" markets realize this and prices will come down to MSRP or maybe they will still try to get $1-$2K but the dumb days of $10-$20K are pretty much done IMO

Sheehy Ford in Gaithersburg, MD will these now go for MSRP. I just got a call from them but it was too late since I bought mine from Bob Bell last week. This should help people in Dc Metro area. It's been impossible to get one around here for less than 5k over the last 6 months.
