Should I buy or pass?

Had I known that any parts or desired upgrade would cost twice as much b/c it's a Raptor I would have purchased something else. I get compliments everyday, but the cost of repairs and cool stuff is a bit steep. Learn to fix some things yourself! And, be cautious with service stations claiming they could do repairs on the Raptor. They usually don't. I am a mechanic in training.

Most of the people on this forum seem to have enough money they’re not too concerned about part costs and that also factors into the fact that most owners either do the work themselves or can afford to take it to ford lol

Other than the shock rebuild, what's really unique to the raptor as far as repairs?
Aftermarket stuff, sure but I haven't found anything out of line especially compared to the modern diesels ive owned.
