Gen 3 Raptor is Overpriced, you are all Insane

I'd love to hear them. The only reason you would pay cash would be you're simply a millionaire and don't want to deal with it or you couldn't make more money elsewhere. Being as your displaying cheap concerns I doubt you are. At nearly 1.9% you would be an idiot to not be able to do better with investing. The fact that you are comparing a Raptor to a Vette tells me you have no idea what you want. Doors that way....

Not sure what's worse...the OP's post or this guy. I'm leaning towards this guy. Annoying AF with all the financial scolding and smugness.

I think most guys here own multiple cars. If you can only afford one then the Raptor is the one to get. You can fit 5 and their luggage with the Raptor. The vette is cool but certainly not a daily driver.

If you need a truck, you can make do with a Raptor. You can't make do with a 'vette.

Okay, allow me to bring my usual civility and cool mouth-breathing self to this topic.

First, Combatninja is on multiple forums and has always behaved in an odd manner. I know of him from the Porsche forum where, while he likes to engage in verbal combat, he also adds to the discussion.

i, as some others here, do feel the Raptor is expensive. In fact, as I embark on buying my 4th one, a Gen3, I always cross shop when doing so. I look at the Audi Q8 and think, hmm, is that maybe a better choice?

But I come back to the Raptor because I love it. Because I can. Because it excites me to look at, to drive, to occasionally offroad. it’s truly a Jack of all trades and a master of many.

When I blanche at the cost of postage, of sending a package, my wife gently reminds me we aren’t in the 70s. I just shipped the rear panel of my JLAudio F212 to be repaired. Weighed 54 pounds. Cost $130 to ship. Unreal. Oh, also $550 to fix.

Heck, when I was a kid a slice of pizza was 20 CENTS. We just stopped in for pizza. I got a chicken slice, my wife a calzone, and two sodas. NINETEEN dollars. Holy s h I t.

A sandwich in a deli in NY is 20 bucks, and if you go into the famous Katz’s deli, lunch for 3 will run over a hundred bucks.

Been to a sporting event lately? 20 years ago I had 4 FREE tickets to Yankee Stadium. We are family of 5. Paid for one ticket. It was a cold day. 3 kids and wife were cold. 4 sweatshirts later, food, a $600 day, 20 years ago, with 4 FREE tickets. Would‘ve been a thousand dollar day if I had to pay for the tickets.

So, is a Raptor expensive? Damn right it is. Everything is. But it’s damn sexy, just like that vette, and damn worth it.

OP, this thread is pointless and didn’t need to exist. I respect your opinion, it sounds like the vette is a perfect fit for you.

I don’t understand your need to talk down to the members here because they disagree with your opinion. Everybody has one and guess what?

This is a Raptor forum, don’t be shocked to find out that people enjoy Raptors here, what did you expect?

Vehicles are priced against their competition, based on their overall utility and demand in the marketplace. The amount of people that want a Vette compared to a truck in America is probably 1 to 100. Trucks are expensive, period. And the Raptor is arguably the best, hence the price it can command.

Yes, Raptor owners are insane. The rest of your post was not worth the time it took to read. You have no understanding of this market. Move along, nothing to see here

My question is if most people disagree with the OP, why take the time to reply to the post?

My excuse. It was 5 am, I had just woken up, stubbed my toe on the bed, and had ran out of coffee creamer. I needed an outlet

Price is relative and value is in the eye of the beholder.

TLDR buy a $90,000 skateboard if it makes you happy idgaf

what is TLDR?
