I know Ford does not offer incentives on the Raptors, however looking into the college student incentive program, which I qualify for.. The "terms and conditions" say all 13/14 MY Ford Cars, Trucks, and SUVs.

Is this incentive still not available for the Raptors?

I doubt it but I'd recommend calling your local dealer and asking. I found a dealer dumb enough to sell at xplan and they actually completed the deal. They didn't get any reimbursement needless to day.

It's all about the IQ of the dealer and what's in the fine print. I was able to get the $500 military rebate and the AAFES 4x $500 money matching on my order. As soon as my order was placed, I told everyone I knew about it and a couple of people on here. They contacted their AAFES reps and were told no way.

The Raptor is not included, nor is it excluded. I was able to obtain this rebate, but it took a few months. After my dealer continued to hound Ford, I received a check in the mail from Ford for $500.

yeah its crazy what college students are doing these days. I was in engineering school making ~80k working for verizon and doing ebay phone sales. Still need to finish school though :( Stopped enrolling after 2 years to chase paper

some developers in school still land some serious money when they make something that becomes a hit in app stores

A college student shouldn't be able to afford a Raptor.....

I am only 20, and have worked for the same company for 4 years.. Started at the very bottom, and have slowly worked my way up, so I make very good money for my age. I work both full-time and attend school full-time.

I have literally no expenses other than gas, entertainment, and my automatic IRA contribution.

So I save and spend a fairly large amount each month to allow myself to have the vehicle of my realistic dreams. I have a 2012 FX4 and finally saved up enough to trade-in and pay the difference between trade-in and the Raptor.

Trust me, it hasn't been easy to get here, but at least I can say I worked for it, and unlike many friends have set myself up to have a very nice savings cushion.

I think I have a dealer that will match another dealers $50 over invoice. They are checking with their Ford Rep to be sure they have an allocation. Should know if they do in the morning, and then just have to drop off a deposit check.

I am already super excited, how am I gonna last another 3 months?!

i ordered two weeks ago and I'm dying. I originally ordered a black screw with spray liner, then changed to terrain, then changed to screw, then changed from liner to plus package
