Crazy ADM with Gen 3 Raptors... any MSRP dealer in Md/Va/Dc/De?

[MFNG]

The Raptor Connection on Instagram has a current list of dealers selling Gen 3 at MSRP. Hit him up.

Makes sense. Thanks

So if a dealership has 5 allocations for a month and a wait list to order with 20 people deep...that doesn't necessarily mean the first 5 people on that list get an order? I can imagine the dealership maybe using 4 of the 5 allocations for orders, and saving 1 for the lot to get more out of it? Theoretically speaking of course

Someone else more knowledgeable than me will have to answer that. I believe every auto manufacturer does it a little differently, too.

They can sell them in whatever way they want. If a dealership has a customer that buys 3 new vehicles every year for example, I imagine he's going to get a good deal as the dealership wants to maintain that relation more than make profit off a single sale. Dealership may want to just sell every allocation they got if they have good buyers lined up, without keeping any on the lot. Part of the strategy is going to depend on location. A big dealership may keep 1 or 2 around for test drives to line up future buyers, or get them to buy a 'lesser' F150 now.

I believe that customer orders are generally prioritized for production, and dealers have little or no control over when they receive stock inventory... so it wouldn't make much sense for them to "hold" an allocation for a vehicle to put on the lot.

Let’s back up. Most of you guys realize where in time we are living now? When Gen 3’s first start trickling out, I think in most cases MSRP will be a pipe dream. Look on dealer’s lots. I see no trucks around here. So when they get a few very high demand vehicles like the new Raptor, do you really not think there not going to try and make all they can in it? Look at the prices of used Gen 2’s. If you want to play with the new toy early on, prepare to bring some extra in your wallet. In most cases many of these dealerships and hungry sales people will see it as catch up time on money they haven’t been able to make on truck sales. I don’t mean there won’t be a fair deal here and there. But probably won’t be the norm. I can’t remember when Gen 1 or Gen 2’s didn’t carry premiums either when they first dropped and long after.

I called around,
Apple ford ($15k hahaha),
Couple more dealers asking $5k-$15k ADM on top of MSRP on Gen 3 raptors.

any dealer willing to sell their Gen 3 raptor at MSRP?

I'm in Socal and have heard the same (15K-20K) ADM! I made some calls and was able to get first in line at a dealership in Arkansas. I don't know why I chose to call Arkansas, but I did. I spoke to the owner and he said he would sell it to me for MSRP. I had mentioned that I needed to finance it so I'm sure that helped. I agreed to a 1K deposit but I do not have to give it until I place my order. Someone on here mentioned Granger Ford in Iowa. I spoke to them last month and they also wanted a 1K deposit but there were 5 people already on their list so I chose to move on. A dealer in Texas told me that he wouldn't be surprised if other dealerships paid ADM just to flip the truck for more ADM which is what went on with the GT500 Golden Ticket. He said it all just comes down to supply and demand. There are dealers out there though so keep trying. I think I made 5 or 6 calls total.

Do dealerships get raptors for stock inventory? I was under the assumption its a customer order unit only.

The gen3 would be my first raptor if I'm lucky. Not entirely sure how the raptor markets work.

They do, yes.

I called almost all the dealerships on that list he has and all have confirmed that they sell at MSRP but nothing regarding deposits and/or the need to finance through them. I'm sure some of them will bring that up in the most subtle way possible lol

You will certainly have to pay a deposit, especially if you're not a local, known customer. $500-1000 is pretty standard.
