I've submitted a few high $40k OTD offers on 2018's all priced around the low $50k marker. All which have been denied with no counter so I guess I'll give it a couple months to see if they go lower.

Yea the thought of 80k out the door is a tough pill to swallow on the raptor especially for those of us who use it for its intended purpose. It gets beat up. I beat the snot of my JK within reason every weekend in Baja.

It's seems as if these dealers in Austin TX and Montana and Ohio are offering up to 8k off on leftover 19's. Should I be booking a plane ticket or are these lost leaders or is 8k off the norm in these states? Here in CA its like a panic I feel since dealers still will only go 3k below. Just wanted to know what the general consensus is on the raptor forums of when to strike.

I've found a couple of dealers selling 2020 802A around invoice, so that is what I'm searching for with the right options. A few aren't willing to budge, so I'm moving on to the next. I'll be shipping it to Alaska, so the closer the dealer to Washington, the better. Any leads on dealerships making better deals in the Northwest?

I've been keeping my eye on five dealerships in the DC metro region. Since 3/29, when I started tracking, only 4 new Raptors have sold... not nearly as many as I would have anticipated.

Yeah I'm hoping that these dealers that are refusing to budge will finally bend a bit. I'm sure having cars sit on the lots isn't helping them one bit as sales have dropped.

Surprising. I'm seeing Rebels all over Colorado for around 15% off sticker ... you can do a lot of mods with $20k. There are still dealers here that are marking the Raptor up from MSRP. It will be interesting to watch, for sure.

I know now Jeep and the rest of them are offering tons of incentives including 0% for 72 months and yet some dealers are still at or above sticker. Who just walks in right now in this economy and pays exactly what they are asking on the window?

Being in CA you won’t be able to purchase a Raptor for anything close to what out of state dealers are selling them for. I’m in your neck of the woods and best deal that I have found is $2k off MSRP at McCoy Mills Ford. All dealers act like that they are selling you a rare golden egg and not a truck.
It’s well worth the cost of a one way ticket to purchase out of state. You will have a slight hassle with vehicle registration but it’s worth in the long run. Also, I would go with a 2020 due to better resale value down the road.

Thats what I did, $76 one way ticket to OH. Got an 802a loaded for $12k off msrp. Best deal I could find.

Wow! That dealer lost a lot of money on that transaction. You purchased it way below invoice and minus 100% of the Holdback. Dealer must have lost 4-5K.

Great job!
