Advice on a BuyBack 2019 Raptor

[raptorguy1224]

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some opinions on this truck. It is a 2019 with 82k miles for 39k. I went and drove it, it seemed to be all good and I plan on going back Friday to drive it for the day. The catch is it is a buyback and I do not know enough about the raptor platform to make an informed decision yet. I plan on using it for a daily and maybe some light towing. Any heavy towing I use the super duty for. I have been doing a lot of research on the gen 2s and it seems to have issues more often than not, although I am sure that is what happens when you research anything long enough. I attached the carfax description below. This truck is everything I want, minus some interior flaws I would see if they can fix. It has been on the lot since September so I am sure there is some room for negotiation. I am not hard set on it so you won’t hurt my feelings. Thanks guys

What’s happened the last two years?

Welcome to FRF

so, you have your eyes on a _buyback_ Raptor for a daily driver?

IDK what carfax says before and after the screenshot above, but I’d bet it’s ... voluminous. Right there you’ve got a new transmission, new turbo, new plugs at 57k, with some service that looks like they’re guessing at trying to fix a few powertrain issues.

If this were a 2nd vehicle you could afford to play with and could afford some downtime, maybe worth considering at about $10k less, but not at that price and not for a daily driver.

Just general maintenance and a new owner, nothing citing the previous problems. I am going to attach them in this thread

I am going to attach them below as to me it looks like normal service, but maybe not. As far as price goes, I would definitely not pay what they want. The main reason for interest on this one is it has the options I want and it is 10 minutes down the road. https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHisto...nspBF6JSQCaRUPDO2GgQc_Ea6ord6_UkO_Fb8SvmjEXHo

Stay away, they recently were checking the transmission. Plus, you probably can only get liability insurance due to the salvage title

This is unfortunate. Thought I found the one until I started reading through the carfax

It appears as though it was a Lemon Law truck. I'd pass

No sign of replacing the cam phasers. Run away.
