Funny Story

[timjitsu]

I'm on a waiting list for a 2018 Raptor. I was able to find a dealer that is selling them at sticker but for a limited amount. I think they have a list of 50 people and I'm #47 hahaha. Anyway, while getting it at sticker is an amazing deal, the price of the truck is still pretty hefty. Even after $15k down my payment will still be around $700. I'm the kind of shopper that when I'm buying something that I don't NEED a lot of times I'll go to the store and look at it and leave without buying it multiples times before I convince myself to get it. So as you can imagine this is quite overwhelming and surreal for me.

So I went down to a ford dealer by my house just to look at a raptor and really think about if I should get it. The salesman tried selling me on it, and I was upfront with him from the moment he finished his opening sales pitch. I told him that I was just there to look and that I found a dealer that will sell it to me for sticker, and that I was not paying $103,000 for an 802A ($30k mark-up). He was shocked and excused himself. About 5 minutes later he walks back out and says that he spoke to his manager and if I wanted to make some quick cash, they will buy my raptor for $15k over what I paid for it. I laughed and told him I would would think about it.

What kind of irritated me is that while the salesman who talked to me was quite nice, I could see the other salesman crowded up just looking at me and laughing. Do I know for sure if they were laughing at me? No. But I was always told, if you feel like they're talking about you, they probably are.

Scum bags. I did hear though, that at least here in ca, dealers were buying Raptors from other dealers for $5k+ markups. Then asking $7500 markups for example. Talked to 2 or 3 dealerships that said they were doing this. And that's why they couldn't do anything for msrp. Wouldn't doubt it. The greedy weesils

so why would not you do this deal? you can make 10k after all said and done if that was a legit offer.

I'd have done it in a heartbeat, you get some cash, they get a Raptor that won't sell...you win.

Welcome to FRF. Congratulations and good luck with your new Raptor order.
Highly doubtful on their offer to purchase your Raptor and that was a set up to watch your reaction to their game.
Those turds have no shame and have no game with that bs. On a lighter note, it's so stupid it is funny.

I'd take that offer all day, then order another one from one of the many dealers offering mrsp.

Here's the odd thing , once you purchased it and sell it this greedy dealer,isn't the Raptor now a used vehicle? Also, your on a waiting list , will they still honor there deal with you 6/12/18 months from now? I guess if they don't ,you have yourself one awesome truck

That's just a douchenozzle move on their part. You should go back and call him out on it hard. Hand him your sale order and tell him to write you a check right then and there, then laugh right back at him when he balks

Since we're all pitching in with suggestions:

Then start a break dance war..

Bust out the head spin at the end, after insulting his mother by popping and locking.

Edit: intentionally skip the windmill entirely, takes too much time to spin up

They'll buy my Raptor for $15k over what I paid.
