what’s up! I’m looking to purchase my first Raptor and wanted some advice! I found a clean 2014 one owner but it has 198k miles. Is this a bad deal?

Welcome! The price is right, but your at 200k of miles. I would say just prepare to be ready for repairs eventually. Body looks clean. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks man. I’m torn on the miles. But, I see some people on here with 200k plus on older ones. But, thanks for the response man!

Welcome to FRF.

You can find better deals out there. Check out the Raptor for sale section on this forum.

Welcome to FRF.
The price is “okay” but I’ll echo the mileage concern. she looks clean you’re going to have to drive it and see how it rides.

Welcome to the place. Crawl under that truck and make sure it doesn't have any rust on the inside of the rockers or the cab corners. It does look clean except for the bumper cover missing, they can get you one of those. The drivers seat must of been recovered already, it looks too good, lol. Only poblem with the mileage is that there are no motors for these trucks atm, but if you can get some warranty on that, it would help ease any concerns. Looks like a highway mileage truck, which is good news.

I drove it and it feels great. There was no weird sounds or anything. Also, no rust under it. I doubled checked that. It was a field supervisor truck. So he would drive back and forth to construction sites. Lots of highway mileage.

I have over 150k on mine and fully expect it to go another 150k without issues, I've over maintained it since new, it's never let me down yet. Yes, it has had minor problems, heated seal element, easy stuff to fix like that. Nothing major. If you know the history of it and get some kind of warranty, I would pounce on it with the bumper fixed before I drove it off the lot. I have ocd and no way would I cruise Starbucks looking like that.

Thanks for pointing out the bumper lol definitely didn’t notice that. That’s everyone for the support. I’m going to go there and test drive it again and go over it once again. And then I may pull the trigger on it! They also are lowering the price for me to 27k. Anyone have suggestions on a 3rd party warranty service? I heard most are trash.

Make sure you try everything out, moonrooof, dual zone climate controls, heated seats/cooled, etc. Check and see if fuse 27 is still in place in the fuse box under the hood (top of radiator). If its still there then you need the relocation kit for it (cheap) and get that done. Good luck! Hope you get it.
