I work at a Ford Dealership as well, Jordan Ford in San Antonio, we have received 7 Raptors so far and 5 of the 7 didn't last 2 days on the lot before they where sold. We currently have 2 in stock as well one white and one silver.
Back to the topic of the thread. They are selling over MSRP almost everywhere i have seen, and heard of. I have received calls here at the dealership from people in
California, who stated they are selling for 30k over
New York, where they are selling for 20k over
Canada, where they are selling for 20k over
and Vegas, again 20k over
Also a lot of the places are having issues with inventory, all of the people i have talked to said they are having issues just finding them where they are at. The gentleman from Vegas ordered his in the beginning of September and they just finally gave him a build date, for the end of February.

The mark up on them is due to the high demand and limited availability right now.
We have our raptors at 10k over sticker as well, but its not just the raptor. The same mark up is applied to the RS, GT350, GT350R, and the Shelby trucks.

The 2 that we do have on the lot have only been here since Friday and probably won't be here long. Just to add to how quickly they are moving, here in the area at least l.

Actually 10k over in Canada. But our MSRP for a 802 is 78k so dealers are ****** only after ford really does you in.

This party should come to an end once dealers have satisfied the fiend customers and sanity prevails. Most people on here are not stupid enough to fall for 10k over MSRP. But you are right plenty of people in the rest of the world with more money than brains. God bless 'em since they really are the ones that make the sales business a joy.

I wonder how many would admit to it? I saw someone admit to 5K over but havent been paying all that much attention.

Why would anyone care what anyone else paid?

The internet(social media) has made everybody's opinion important.

Figured you guys might like this! So this dealer called me all excited a couple months ago and said he had an allocation for me and to come down and place an order for msrp. I get there and his GM walks out and says yeahhh sorry but I can't go a dollar below 12k above sticker and that's a hell of a deal considering we're selling the rest at 15k. I kindly told him to eff off and thank you for wasting my time and walked out. So the rep decided to "check in" with me today... here's our convo thought it was kind of funny with his response.

I'm glad you where able to get one at sticker, I tried to get some for some people I know at sticker but wasn't able to make it happen. A guy I know that owns a tint shop here was able to find a dealer that ordered one for him at sticker. The mark up will eventually go away, but with the current trend I don't see that happening for a while.

That text conversation is awesome!!

I for see it ending as well, but not for a while. I had heard they where 20k over in Canada, but that was just word of mouth. The 20k mark up in New York and 30k mark up in California I know are accurate, because I've talked to people in those locations but that could be in certain areas in those states I guess

So I was trying to slang the GT350 at some dealer today in OC...at a dealer that will remain nameless...Hunt___ton Beach Ford...and the dude said I could have one today for the special price of $25,000 over sticker rather than $30,000 over. I offered him 5000 for ***** and giggles and he said no and kept trying to tell me why I should pay $25,000 ADM. seriously?!? I'm not even mad at the dealer, I'm sad there are so many people willing to pay that much over for an F150. You know how many goodies I can buy for my wife to make her forget about the truck for that price?
