Should I just give up?

I've searched high and low, halfway across the damn country, for just one Raptor even relatively spec'd to my liking, and no one will deal at MSRP. Even the dealer my family bought a new Ford from less than a month ago wouldn't come off the $5k over sticker!

This is just ridiculous, and looks awful for Ford. Do they not want people buying these overpriced F-150's?

Is my best bet just to wait a couple months until dealers finally get off their high horse?

I began my search about 3 months ago, and it literally took me 5 days to find three dealers who agreed to do MSRP. Two were in TX. One was in Nebraska.

Dealers list it on Cars.com at MSRP, but in reality, they are marked up at least $5,000.

That's right. You'll see that on dealers' websites too. When you call, they will tell you about the markup.

All I did was call, be polite, and let them know I would be a buyer at MSRP. Most say no at first. Sometimes they will go ask the boss. Just be prepared to thank them and let them know that if they change their mind, that you are serious. Like I said, I found three in no time. Two were order only, one had them on the ground. There was one in San Antonio that had 12 on the ground. The sales guy went and asked his boss for me, who told him they would let three go at MSRP. They are out there. Just go find them!

As a matter of fact, if anyone wants to pay me $1,000, I will do all the leg work to get you one at MSRP!!! haha! That's what friends are for.

I'm local to them as well (although not where I bought mine). Didn't they have a black one as recently as last week?

I've been contacting dealers with them listed with adm about a week before the end of the month and telling them to let me know if they decide to come down to msrp. Got one call last month but sold before i could get there.
