Is this a good deal or wait it out until prices drop in summer?

Hello,
I’ve been patiently looking for a gen3 Raptor and came across a 2021 Ford Raptor 37 being advertised for $66K with 43K miles. It’s out of bumper to bumper warranty obviously but I can obtain a Ford ESP warranty for about $1,785 online at Lombard Ford. I’ve read that I should be patient and wait it out through tax season and actively look again in May. What are your thoughts on the price? I do see 2021 model
Years dropping and in December I just missed out on a 2021 Raptor 37 with 29K miles for $69K. Thanks for any insight. I’ve read the shocks are a big concern and not covered after the original bumper to bumper warranty expires.

That sounds pretty fair but it’s like any vehicle. The older it gets the price will keep dropping (not counting Covid)
I’d just find a clean truck in the spec you want and make it happen. I’ve made the mistake of always waiting and it’s rarely worth it.

Used car prices appear to be on a glide path back to the long-term average trend line because demand for new cars is being better met. If you don't need a car today, you can likely save money by waiting. If you need a car, buy what you want. It's probably not worth limping along in something cheap waiting for the deal of the century on your dream car.

almost 45k - tires probably need replacing, shocks pretty soon and 66k?
pass.

You can never be sure of what the prices will be in the next few years, 66k does sound a little high especially if the tires are original. Just have to go with your gut feeling, so if your gut in telling this is the one go for it.
