You all gotta stop beating down dealers charging ADM and people willing to pay ADM. The dealers have NO inventory. You live in a "free market" society. Supply is low, demand is high. ADM changes the demand curve, but obviously not enough for dealers to stop doing it. So chill out!
If the person decides that they are willing to pay the ADM, that's their call, it's not stupid... b/c someone WILL pay it. These cars WILL sell. So if you have the luxury or patience to wait for a year or two for things to settle.. great. If you were lucky enough to buy before ADM became the standard for raptors... congrats. But for buyers "today" ADM is the market. Get over it!

definitely did not go to business school or ever listened to warren Buffett in regards to " paying true/fair value ". hence = waste and fail.

Such a rediculous statement regarding an 80K pick-up truck. How about we just act like grown-ups and realize the Raptor is not a "necessity" or utility purchase. It is a toy. Let's respect others perspectives and not pretend our perspective is the only one that matters

If somebody wants to pay $ 5.00 for a $ 1.00 bill go for it, I'm not.

Do not pay a ADM ! The way the stock market is looking and the inflation problems the Federal Government is about to start raising rates. And at the pace they are going to raise rates we will be in a recession by this fall at that point ADM's will go away. Be patient !

I just bought a 35 package Friday Code Orange loaded at MSRP = $ 79,000.00. I am thinking maybe I should have waited until late summer or fall. When the fed raises rates demand will come down and crash the stock market. If you buy now, do not pay ADM !
How are people just walking on to dealers and finding these at MSRP, all of CA wants $30K markup. Guess I just keep my gen 1

Doesn't matter what any of us tell you. Opinions are like...well...you know.

Do what you want and what does it for you.

Paid msrp for mine.
Well if anyone knows where I can get one for msrp let me know I will buy right now. I agree with most that they have already priced the truck to make themselves decent money and the markup is just ridiculous but I get it people keep paying it so they will keep charging it. I'll just wait

I kind of doubt Warren Buffet would recommending selling a vehicle for $80k when there are people willing to buy for $95k for a non-essential luxury item. You're talking about the buyer's point of view, when the complaint was about the seller. I would generally agree with you on that, but then again, if $15k didn't mean that much to me, sort of like the difference between a $3 and $5 taco, then I'm not going too worry too much about getting fair value.
