Looking at a 2010 Ford Raptor SVT with under 100k miles.. how expensive to maintain them?

[GripItAndRipIt]

Yea it lowers your monthly but my man 74 months on a 100k mile truck is the worst deal you can make. Yr interest will be like 5k total. That truck will be worth nothing by the end of the term. Thats a shit deal. Dont do it.

I did not think of it like that. I appreciate the insight. I need to just hold off. If i do a 3 year term, its probably $700+ a month which is not worth it.

Market is in shambles right now. Its an expensive sport. But id rather see u pass now and save $$$ and get the real deal when YOUR time is right. Do you own a home yet? You don't want to be in stupid debt underwater on an old raptor trust me. If you want a v-8 dump the ridgeline and get a 2006-2011 sierra 2500 or Yukon denali for like 8-12k 6.0 . Super comfy and a lot cheaper.

Yeah its rough out there and I thought I found a good deal since these raptors last so long. Ridgeline is paid off in 3 years. I'll ride it out. Its an ego thing but man that thing is not a truck at all. Its a terrible drive but its reliable and only has 79k miles on it.

How many miles on the sierre 2500 is reasonable? And are they reliable from your experience?

so essentially hold onto the ridgeline if you were in my shoes?

And the sierra isnt any better in terms of reliability and maintenance?

I have no experience between the 5.4 vs. the 6.2. Besides whats on paper, HP, gas mileage, etc, what is the issue with getting a 5.4? Is it less reliable? This 5.4 was a pavement pounder, a guys second car with 98k miles over 12 years. Its clean with no rust. I have a good deal on it, sub $400 a month payment. I was planning on getting some used fox shocks to be able to rotate them out when the other is getting repaired but besides that I thought the 5.4 is solid. If you guys think its better to wait for a deal on a 6.2, for sure let me know. I don't want to make a big mistake.

There is little difference. Neither are high performance engines. The 6.2 replaced the 5.4 3V as the standard F-250+/E-Series engine. They’re well designed and reliable for their intended applications, but neither was intended for a high performance truck like the Raptor.

so a first gen with 100k miles and 75 month loan is a death wish basically. And not even worth it since the new raptors are so much better?

Nothing wrong with a Gen 1. Plenty of high mileage Gen 1 's out there. The financing seems excessive. Try to find a Gen 2 under 50,000 , not going to happen. Truck looks clean from the pictures.

The truck looks great. If everything checks out then its a great truck BUT the financing is $399 for 75 months so 29k in total for a 2010 gen 1. Sure I can try to re-finance it at some point. I have been searching forever and finally found a 5.4 I like but damn this financing is not helping.

The price is fine. The Raptor looks clean. If you are financing the whole 24k then $400 is a good payment. I think it could be a collectable in 12 more years. I say go for it. But the market seems to be changing (in my neck of the woods) so negotiations could go well for you. 20-21k would be awesome. Good Luck!
