At what distance does price become less relevant?

Dude you live in NJ and there's a Dealership (Van Bortel) in Rochester NY that sells Raptors at invoice.

I don't think most guys/gals understand that a raptor at Invoice means you are saving roughly 4k off of MSRP.

I live in VA and purchased from Steve Miller at Van Bortel. When my truck came in I purchased a plane ticket to Rochester and Steve had a car waiting for me at the airport. I spent $150 on the ticket and saved $4200 buying at invoice. Do the math and see if saving 4k is worth your time to buy out of state.

Yes, I'm using the Raptor Dealers Selling Near Invoice thread for reference. Shouldn't that be moved to this sub-forum?

On to my concern; Relevant in the realm of how close to invoice pricing one can get on the truck. In my quest for anyone willing to go less than or close to MSRP, I've nearly exhausted all local stealerships in my area and am now moving outwards. My concerns are the expenditures incurred where lengthy travel is concerned. At what point does the travel no longer make it worth it anymore than just bending over and accepting MSRP+? Let me know if I'm leaving out any major considerations; fuel, time, travel?

PM me and I'll give you a couple numbers to call in eastern PA that I've received good deals from. Where in NJ are you?

PM sent.

I was and am pleased with Fullerton Ford in Bridgewater. I got a really good price from them the first time I called. Call and ask for James Sheeley. Tell him I sent you. He's a really good guy and won't BS you!

Will give them a call, thank you!

I saw Rochester on that dealers at invoice list and they're on my list if I can't find something locally. Was just trying to stay within a few hours driving distance if possible. I'm located in North Jersey area so they're not out of the question, although still about 6 hours north one way. Maybe I could make a short vacation over the boarder if I deal with them. Very doable.

I don't even think it would cost 4k in gas to drive cross country so yes, it's still way worth it. I drove nearly 4 hours one way for mine.

To the OP .. just order from Steve at Van Bortel and be done with it. You have already admitted that you have spent a lot of time with local dealers and have not had any luck.

I work like a dog and when I picked up my Raptor and drove it from NY back to VA it was my vac, very relaxing. Funny thing, I picked my raptor on my 3rd wedding anniversary and my wife had no issues. It was my time to be alone with the raptor and driving ... great way to enjoy your bad ass truck.

Driving 5000 miles is well worth it not to pay 10k market add on..

I've got it narrowed down to three. Priced from invoice (maybe) to $400 over. Gonna make my decision tomorrow.
