Yep I have gotten multiple calls from dealers I previously contacted....let them pound sand

Are they offering lower prices? I still get calls and when I ask what they are selling for they're still saying $10k over. Then I tell them I got one for MSRP (even though I didn't) because I like to hear the disappointment in their voices. Does that make me a bad person? Just hoping it helps encourage them to drop their prices even faster!

Just started noticing the drop to MSRP as well.

Haven't called since the truck is missing the tailgate step which I want, but Saybrook Ford in CT, has a blk/blk screw that was 10K over, now it's listed on cars.com and on their website at MSRP. Just noticed the price drop yesterday and on Sunday it was still at 10K over.

My dealer came down to MSRP on mine but one just down the road has 2 on their lot for $10k above.

I think the Ford Corporation has also noticed the diminishing inventory movement with the dealerships asking for high ADM. As dealerships maintain their allotments numbers with high ADM's on the lot, they are less inclined to order more, (or get more), in the future. I'm sure Ford has a division of people working out the statistical graphs to maximize sales. I may be mistaken, but I first started noticing the 2017 Raptor TV ads in Florida in the last month or so. Has anyone else noticed they are running more TV advertising? Perhaps it's only in my area, but why advertise if the market is that hot.

My dealership website (gatorford.com) is advertising 2 Raptors at what appears to be MSRP.

They have also started sending more mailers in the past month or so. I think I've gotten two Raptor specific mailers in the past 4 or 5 weeks.

did anyone really think this wouldn't happen?????

"Naw man ADM is a way of life from now on."

"Raptor is being discontinued in 2018 because of the new body."

"All extra Raptors are getting sold to China for double MSRP."

"We have orders booked through 2019."

Must be a teaser for all the poor guys who've had their orders pending for months on end.

Not sure this is the next place to post but a dealer just contacted me and had a guy returning his white screw with 1200 miles because he doesn't like the sound. Sticker was just under 67k and he'll sell for 65. 802, Roof, tech, rear heated seat, tailgate step i think. He's sending me sticker. Anyone interested if i pass?

Leif Johnson in Austin now emailing me "hey man, howya been? Did we say $10k over? nah, let's get a number your happy with."

I hope it is not the blue one I looked near the end of January...it was in the paint shop getting scratches repaired and they still wouldn't budge off of $10K over.
The next day I paid MSRP for one in Houston.

That is the second Raptor I tried to purchase from them and the second time they made a sale for another dealership....as was the case when I bought my 2006 Ford GT.
