How much would my 2020 raptor sell for?

The market in California has always been different than the rest of the country. Ford has several of the largest volume dealers in the US located in Southern California. Galpin, Sunrise, Ken Grody, South Bay all sell more units than most states dealers combined. When I was looking for a Raptor early in 2020 Sunrise Ford didn't just have a few Raptors on the lot like most dealers, they had over 50. The huge volume dealers grab every Raptor that comes off the line that they can. Ford Performance vehicles sell like hot cakes in California and the vast majority of buys don't wish to invest the time, money or energy in tracking down a vehicle out of state when they are staring at the one they want on the dealers lot. Last March/April most dealer in SoCal were somewhere in between MSRP and 5K over. Ford's not going to step on its most lucrative market.

In the absence of other information, a high supply should result in more competitive/lower pricing. That's not what we're seeing with these mega dealers with 50 Raptors in stock though correct? That would mean that the high price is due to higher demand, which might be the case, or because the higher cost of living means higher wages, means the MSRP of a Raptor is a lower percentage of income, on average, in Cali than for other places. I mean, if you're paying $750k on a house, you're less concern about an extra $5-10k on you vehicle purchase.

Yeah, it's a wacky state. And here in NY we got an old governor who thinks he's the King and that it's ok to ask girls half his age if they want to have sex with him.

Only difference is that in Cali, he probably asks boys half his age to have sex with him ... LOL

FTFY $750k won't even buy a starter home anywhere worth living in Cali.

Sorry for the late answer! People offered me $80k just as an idea for those who thought it would go for 65k ;-)

I ended up not selling the truck... I found another way to get cash and decided to keep this baby around. It's a hot market out there and you can easily find a buyer willing to pay the price, especially on a black fully loaded raptor like this one.
