Thanks all for the welcome.


Jackrook, thanks for the info. I've heard mostly negatives about Ken Grody but won't rule anything out. I'm not really an aggressive person but I think I play the game well. I'm calm, I know what my price is, and I don't get backed into corners. And I let them sweat it... I go with the "he who speaks first loses" approach.

Go to Ken Grody Ford. They also have a mark up but if you sweet talk them, do your home work, and get the right salesman/manager combo, they will cut you an amazing deal. They over payed for my Silverado, and payed the bank to give me a lower interest rate then my credit allowed. Don't get scared by the sticker shock. They will work with you if you're aggressive.

Dont use Kearny Pearson, they were awful and kept springing chrages on me. I didnt have much of a choice cause I had sold my jeep months earlier and it took nearly 3 months for the Raptor. Unfortunately I didnt get a good vibe from Ken Grody but I should have used them because they gave me 1k off the moment I told them I was ordering cause they wanted my business.

welcome to the forum, and good luck with your raptor hunt, they can be elusive little bastards, but when you find the right one, you'll know it

Welcome to the forum. I haven't taken possession of my Raptor either. If you don't mind travelling and doing a road trip, I recommend Louisburg Ford, out of Louisburg, Kansas. Yes, it's 1,500 miles or 24 hours straight through. However, I paid $50 over invoice, which will save me $5,000 + dollars right off the top compared to SoCal stupid prices.

Granted, I have to incur a $250 plane ticket and $600 in gas to get back to Newport Beach. I plan on making a trip of it and hitting the Grand Canyon and etc...

Until then, enduring the WAIT.

Granted, I'm 6'6, 300 pounds, covered in tattoos, and know how to use my appearance to my advantage. If you're 5'8, 160 pounds, wearing cargo shorts and a Modern Family t-shirt, you can pretty much settle for the 10k mark up and nothing less. LOL. Hey, some people are good with numbers, I'm good with looking scary. Hahahahahahahahahahaha
