Curious, are used Raptor's in SoCal over priced by $10k too?

Take a drive to Peoria Ford in Arizona near phoenix..good deal below msrp and plenty of inventory...All dealers in so cal think they have us by the balls. Send em a message. Drove my truck home and got better deal than i could find on ordering a truck in so cal.

Thanks for the info you sent me! I was fed the hell up with the dealer I was using here in CA for my order and cancelled it today. Called up Peoria Ford and talked to your salesman... they had the EXACT truck I wanted sitting on their lot and gave me the exact same deal they gave you. Im driving to Peoria to pick her up this Saturday. Giddy with excitement doesnt even come close!

Haha! Think your referral is going towards my mid-perch adjustment. I asked if they could do it before I get there on Saturday so its just how I want it when I drive off the lot and they told me it would be no problem.... try and get it in tomorrow. STOKED!!!!!

If I wanted to go buy a Raptor and didn't research the hell out of it first, I'd get completely screwed. If I visited four random dealers around here (so cal), I'd probably get "confirmation" that they were all $10,000 over sticker, and that's what you have to pay, due to limited supply.

When I was shopping back in 2010, I called a tremendous number of dealers, and a majority of them lied to me. I'm not simply talking about quoting me a price too high, I'm talking about actual far-fetched, nonsense, proper lying to justify that inflated price.

I don't think it's anti-capitalist to be very annoyed by the idea of business models that make their money by serving disinformation to the public. Auto dealers, and auto repair (since it was brought up), commit these acts commonly. I'm sure this annoys the honest businesses even more then it annoys the consumer.

I guess I shouldn't be too upset, my truck is worth $10k more than it should be.

I don't see you complaining about the fact that you were able to do some research and find out the going rate for Raptors and avoid paying over sticker.

You're obviously old enough to know the expression, "Buyer Beware." I'm not sure why you're complaining about products being sold for what people will pay.
