There is a thread about this somewhere but here's what you do...
Get a list of 30 or so dealers closest to you. Start at the top and start calling dealers. Ask to speak to the ordering manager or a sales manager. You likely won't get one but it's worth a try. Once you have someone on the line, let them know that you are ready to come in today and order a Raptor for $500 over invoice and will put a desposit down. Don't mention anything regarding the size of the deposit or how you are going to pay for the truck. Deal with that later. If the dealer says your crazy, say thanks for your time, I have the opportunity to purchase the truck at that price from a dealer in California but I'd rather purchase locally if possible to save me the hassle. If you feel inclined, you could also mention that at $500 over invoice, they are still make a couple grand due to the hold back for 15 mins of work. If they say they won't becuase of allocation, let them know that a retail or sold order doesn't count against their allocation. Sooner or later, you will find a dealer willing to do the deal. If not, well, go talk to Randy!!
