Am I Dreaming, Or Can I Join The Club With 50K?

[50 Deep]

Got hit hard with the bug for the Raptor. Been a long time car guy, but just recently found myself in need of a truck. Had the chance to attend the Raptor Assault due to a good relationship with the Ford Performance Racing School and I got hooked. The 2019 is obviously the ticket with the new suspension, but reality and relatively smart financial planning puts me at $50K (ish) to spend on an 802A SCREW Gen2 Raptor.

I have contacts that would allow me to order a new one at MSRP, but as built the 71k price tag still is over where i want to be.



Not here to insult anyone’s intelligence or get flamed. Legitimately asking if a budget of 50k (ish) before taxes will score me a used and unmolested SCREW 802A truck. I come from the GT350R crowd and have watched that market change, but the Raptor is unknown to me.

If I am still off the mark with my pricing, when do you foresee the Gen2 802A trucks in that range? Dont have a problem with being patient, but would love to pull the trigger on a truck if I knew where to look.

Current rides for street cred...





Thanks Gents,

I think it’s possible if you have diligence looking and are willing to make a trip to pick one up. You will be glad you did!

You should be able to find a used 17 for that.

I also think your in the ballpark for a 17 for that money. From the looks of your stable (nice rides my friend) you really need a Raptor to top it off. Best of luck in your search and hoping you join our family soon. Let us know when it happens.

you wont get a new 802A down to that but just as an FYI MSRP isn't a great deal anymore if you're willing to travel/ship it

I would be leary of a 17-19 802A for $50k. Do you have any connections that can get you into the auto auctions?

You should be able to order one for $2k over invoice.

someone posted this yesterday. Down in Houston. Might help you out

You can, but you will need to travel for one and you will also have to be willing to accept one with some miles on it - most of these are 17s with 60k+ miles but are in that price range.

Personally unless you NEED to have all the tech gadgets & plush interior I'd look for a "stripped" 801a or base SCAB Raptor new, leftover '18 if around, OR see if you can order a new one stripped down- could probably do it for $55-58k or so if you find the right dealer to sell for MSRP, you can get a SCAB 801a Raptor for $57.5k according to Ford's website. You get leather interior + sync plus the basic mechanical stuff all Raptors have.

$50k for a truck w/ 50-60k miles & likely first model year isn't something I'd do when I could get a new one w/ slightly less options zero miles & a full warranty for $10k more....especially SINCE Raptors hold their value so well in the first place relative to most other vehicles, YOU could be the guy clearing $50k in a few years for a paid-off Raptor you purchased new....
