I live about and hour southwest of Chicago. I was emailing with a salesman from one dealership for over a month. He told me that they will be selling the Raptors at MSRP. I went in on Thursday to order the raptor. I asked him when I got there if they will still be selling at MSRP. He told me yes. I was there a little late and he told me they will not be able to put the order in until tomorrow. They had me fill out a credit application and appraised my trade in to give me an idea of what it’s worth. I was supposed to get a call the next day early. Someone was going to put the order in first thing in the morning. Friday comes and I’m waiting for them to call. Eventually I end up just driving to the dealer to see if they put the order in. The salesman I was working with wasn’t there Friday but I met with the GM. Long story short, he told me they can’t do MSRP. They only had two allocations I believe and the GM told me that the first one went to a long time customer and sold it for $25k over sticker. Seems like a terrible deal for a long time customer.
I was pretty pissed at this point but called a bunch of dealers in the area, at least 15. Only one dealer told me sticker. I made sure they had an allocation for the performance package and asked again if they were selling them at sticker. They assured me that they have allocations and they will sell at sticker. I got there, first thing I asked was if they had the allocation and if it was sticker price. Salesman talked to the manager and came back to me and said yes to both questions. I spent about 30 min there building the raptor and the salesman grabbing my info. After that he brings everything to the manager then comes back. Tells me he had only one allocation for the performance pack and it’s gone. They have a 35 left and they want $10k over.
I talked to a few more dealerships and a lot of people I talk to seem to have no clue about the raptor. Some don’t believe that there is a 2021. Maybe they don’t have allocations. There was one dealer that didn’t have much info but told me that they don’t sell over sticker. I’m not too optimistic.
So, if anyone knows where I can pick one up at sticker price, let me know. Otherwise I guess I’ll wait till 2022 comes out.
