Dealer inventory: Scab vs. Screw

[raminator08]

Why does this guy post pics of his car in every thread? I can’t imagine how much you brag about it irl lmao

I just imagine being in a public stall somewhere in Canada and some guy next to me slides his phone over and goes "want to my see my raptor eh"

Apparently, the SCREWS are more structurally sound in the cabin due to the steel beam that runs down the center. This wasn't my selling piont. I bought the SCREW for the extra leg room in back for passengers, especially on long trips.

I like the Scab for the looks and the shorter wheelbase. I ordered my 2017 and still haven't see a Scab on a dealer lot. I understand the arguments for more cab space, legroom, full size doors, etc. It's just not that important to me.

As for resale, I'm not worried. It will only take a few folks interested in Scabs since there will not be many used ones available.

I ordered my Scab and I've seen 2 others on the road. But I haven't seen any Scabs sitting on the dealer lots around here.

everyone I know who has a SCAB (including me) ordered it.

Annoyingly, there's another SCAB that just showed up in my town.

Did anyone that ordered a Scab have any dealers reluctant or flat out refuse to order one, saying "If you back out, we couldn't sell it"?

I have a good friend that buys and sells vehicles every 6-8 months. He's always talking about resale value, but I just don't get it either. It's a depreciating asset no matter how you look at it.

That looks sooooo much better

A sport truck that IS a sport truck, not the family sedan......

SCrews are more structurally sound in the cabin.

Something like 97% of dealer cars are Screws because that's what most people buy.

If you want to find a SCAB on a lot you can use raptor finder and use autotrader to find it once you know the state or just pay the fee on the site. For me I just set alerts on cars.com and autotrader and when a SCAB popped up I'd contact the dealer.

I personally don't think there will be a huge difference in resale value beyond the $3K more the Screw costs new...802a or not could be a big factor though. Who buys a $70K truck if they are concerned about depreciation anyway?
