So, after ruling out the tremor and being told there is an allocation for a Raptor (35 only), I was also told this same dealership has an actual build date with an order submitted on a 37 Raptor, with the build date set for Jan 19th. And yes, it's available at MSRP for me.
I had no desire to get a 37, but as I tend to turn my vehicles over every 2-3 years, re sale matter. I know the 37 allocations are much fewer than the 35's, and I know someone else already asked the question whether people think the 37's will hold value better. Ergo, I wanted to throw this out there:
If I stick with the original plan and forego this 37 and order my 35 spec'd the way I want it, it comes to just over $73,300 (Atlas Blue or White + 801 package, spray in bed liner + rubber mat). The issue is that no one really knows when I will actually get a build date and VIN. The way things are going, maybe it takes 6-8 months? In the interim, maybe the value I get back on my 4runner sale also goes down.
If I take the 37 at hand, it comes out to $81,325. It's AMB and has the 801A, plus the spray in bedliner, carbon fiber package, and the tow package with moonroof. I want the step for the bed but hate having to get the moonroof, which is why I opted against that in my 35 build. Also, this doesn't have the Recaros.
With a Jan 19 build date, it will still likely take another couple of months, assuming no supply chain issues, right?
Question: is it worthwhile to take the 37 in hand and spend the extra money, knowing that if I decide I want a 35 in a year when things calm down a bit, I can sell this 37 without losing much of anything?
And if I go that route, am I better off seeing if I can dump the moonroof package and add on the Recaro's?
Or should I wait it out and roll the dice on getting a 35 the way I want?
