How to Find a Raptor on a Dealer Lot

[photoneffect]

As long as a car/truck has not been titled it is new, regardless of miles....

Which makes me wonder if it actually has been titled and resold already or if the website is just wrong. I might call just for curiousity's sake.

Original dealer probably drove it with dealer plates, sold it, and technically still new....call to be certain though

Most recent reply from dealer to the question of "how much are you charging for the Raptor on your lot" was "as much as we can get". No actual number. Super helpful there, guy.

I contacted another dealer that said they had one on the lot but turns out it was "just sold". So with that said he told me that he would be getting another allocation 3/1 and if ordered then it would take about 10-12 weeks to deliver. Just thought I would share that info and take it for what its worth.

10-12 weeks....good luck with that....I will bet you my yet to be built truck sitting in the order system for 10 weeks now it will be longer....these dealers will say anything to get a deposit and a name attached to an allocation....

FYI, just fixed a glitch with the Autotrader scanning so just added about 70 more entries.

I also updated it so that you can select just active listings. Just select the "Active" checkbox. if you don't see an "autotrader" or "cars" link you know there aren't any active listings for that VIN.

Not totally clear on active vs inactive. So what would an inactive listing be?

Active means the cars.com and/or autotrader.com listing is still showing up. If it's inactive it means there was a listing on one or both of those sites at one point, but not any more. I leave them up just so people can see what's been listed for data analysis type reasons (i.e. 150 built in Feb, etc).

Drove by local Ford today, there sat a white Raptor. Took it for a drive, rode great, very nice looking truck and must say acceleration was great, but exhaust tone. Sounded like a Honda Accord, terrible at best. Lots of great stuff in the truck. Risor Ford Hot Springs AR has it- asking MSRP plus 10k! Good luck if ya want it.

Ah got it. Thanks for the clarification

Most recent dealer interaction involved a dealer calling me back who I spoke with last week. They still want $7.5k over (talked them down from $12k over!), but wanted to let me know that the GM is currently driving it. Why would you call me just to tell me that? I really hope one day we can do away with car dealers and just order from Amazon or something. Free two day shipping!
