A loaded 37 MSRP (plus destination charge) is about 83k. Add in the state tax on the purchase and you are already 88k ish. 90k is hardly a windfall for a private party to resell.

imho, the best deal you can hope for is ordering a new one with a dealer that does MSRP. That way you are the first owner and you don't need to buy a truck with unwanted & expensive options..
Now unfortunately, you are way to late for the MY2022 trucks, as all MSRP dealers that I ever talked to are already overbooked with orders, so maybe you can get in line to be among the first orders, when their MY2023 orders start..
The ever remaining problems: 1) Will the dealers honor MSRP pricing, once the truck is really there? 2) Will they ever actually schedule your order, if there are maybe other ADM order in the system by the time they get let's say 3 allocation for 10 open orders?
..I have 2 orders open and I'm on the waiting list for the Raptor R with 3 dealers.. but I also ordered a Rivian R1T and I have a feeling that this startup might be delivering before Ford and the dealers get their things together..
Ordering the Rivian was so easy. Website, config, order, 1k refundable deposit, done. Now I'm getting transparent updates on estimated delivery month (Nov 2022) and that's it..
No BS talk with sales, no feeling of unfair treatment or overpaying.. Ford still has a competitive product, even with the EVs around, but the overall customer experience is just mind-blowing bad.
George Soros is an investor in Rivian, he said it is a great vehicle.imho, the best deal you can hope for is ordering a new one with a dealer that does MSRP. That way you are the first owner and you don't need to buy a truck with unwanted & expensive options..
