Raptor Dealers Selling Near Invoice

[Raptor911]

Allocation .. it means a dealer who averages 1 raptor a year will only get 1 raptor a year. It's that simple.

Ford wants to send raptors to dealers who actually can sell them. And yes you always want to place orders with dealers that have allocation.

Can anyone explain a little clearer a dealers allocation. I placed an order with my dealer but he claimed he had 5 orders ahead of me and has not yet heard back from the regional rep about build dates for them. I had another dealer call me yesterday saying he had an allocation open up. I guess here are the questions im looking to have clarified.

How many raptors is a particular dealer allocated?

What happens if the order beyond their allocation?

And is it worth it to cancel my order and order through the dealer that tells me they have an allocation open?

Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks 911. The dealer I ordered through "told" me they sold and delivered 13 last year and had two still in the order banks and three ordered since January.

Now is 13 Raptors a year an inflated number? I would have thought maybe 3-5 per dealer. I heard 13 from the two closest dealers and no numbers at all from other dealers.

I ordered mine from a dealer who sold over 40 last year....and they can generally get 2-4 ordered per month. I'm number 4 on the list, so they told me that I may get a May order date, but it might be June. Then it would be another 6 weeks or so from that date until it was delivered.

Chalk another one up for Steve @ Van Bortel! Ordered my Terrain SCAB with 801a and spray in yesterday at INVOICE. (5/6/13) Super nice guy and hands down it was the easiest process by far. This is going to be my first raptor and is the first brand new ordered vehicle I have ever owned. Couldn't be happier.

invoice pricing is a not a secret. Go build a raptor at edmunds. Then add adv (i think $700 for scab) and fuel ($90 for scab) and you have invoice pricing.

Just FYI for our CA folks. I hear The Ford Store Morgan Hill is still taking orders at $450 over invoice!

Just ordered mine at invoice from Haley Ford in Chester Va. I have bought many cars and trucks from them over the years and always have had great service.

Here's where NOT to deal with. Cavalier Ford in Chesapeake Va. They have two Ford dealerships that I know of. Went to the one in Western Branch Chesapeake Va almost two weeks ago driving in my Corvette ZR1(you think the salesman would think I'm a buyer), test drove the Raptor, gave the guy my number and do to limited time, told him call me with a fair price and ill buy it......................never heard from the guy again.

Went to the other Cavalier Ford store yesterday on Military Hwy Chesapeake Va where they have 3 or 4 Raptors in stock and they tell me $5000 over STICKER like they were doing me a favor. I was also looking at buying a Shelby GT 500 at the same time (sold mine a few years ago) and that's the great deal I was offered on the Raptor. Needles to say I was done with those jokers.

I usually buy 3 new cars a year and when I explained this to the salesman, he told me "there are so few Raptors out there" per his management. My response was "so he'd rather price gauge on one truck instead of creating a long term relationship for multiple sales". Great forward thinking on managements part!! There are a few dealers that over the years I will NEVER do business with, they just made that list.

Working on new Shelby order now.
