GEN 2 Raptor newbie looking at 2018 tomorrow - advice

[Stojanowski]

@raptor556 with todays pricing on used vehicles being higher, what is your version of rap-ed pricing since you “do” know what you’re doing apparently?

I think prices are falling rapidly based off gas and interest rates... A lot of dealers over paid on trade INS and now stuck with them

Yes I do. don't take it personally, you are looking for a truck, not a friend. If you need to get outside help, that's ok.

my version is dependent on the vehicle you are buying. the same price can suck for one vehicle but be a steal for another.

and this subject seems to come up often. the dreaded plastic oil pan. ford has only made a few million vehicles with them, so don't buy the bs on here about that.

Forgot to add a couple of pics

@magknow is yours a supercab two door? Their asking prices were 57 and 58k

4 doors. Lfg loaded.

If you have the pano roof ask them to let you pour water heavy (use a squirter is better) on the corners to look for leaks.

Just happy to see the SCAB love.

Hello everyone, just wanted to say thanks for the helpful info while I was on this adventure. I made the choice to give up a 2018 (red one) with 802A options (52,500 miles) for a Gray 2019 with 800A package (13,500 miles) for 2400 more. Sure, I would have liked to have had the Applique tailgate and rear sliding window of an 801A or 802a, but I can do whatever I want with it and have a truck with only 13K on the clock. Private owner sale which is what I was hoping for originally. I'll have more questions but will start a new thread about the wiring harnesses.
