What's with the attitude from Dealers?? ADM...

[NevadaZielmeister]

It seems to be a trigger for them. If you're willing to pay ADM, don't bother mentioning MSRP. Just try to get the deal as good as you can. Also, salespeople at the dealership are d0uchebags and have a rightfully earned inferiority complex. So, there's that.

I wanted to get a job at a dealership sales but then they heard my parents were married.

The dealer I bought my 37pp from has an R on their website for sticker. Don't know if it's legit or not, but might be worth a call. Long ways away for you, but might be worth the trouble. They also have a black Broncos raptor for 12k off sticker. No reason to pay ADM in this economy. Eagleriverford.com

Appreciate that! I'll check it out. I think I have called or emailed 50-100...

LOL you wonder sometimes. I'm sure there's pressure there and everyone wants to make a buck...but there doesn't need to be any aggressive attitude. Maybe they get inquiries 24/7 and they just get tired of it. Who knows...

Ford dealers have the best half-ton truck ever made, with no competition. You think they are going to sell it to some random person for MSRP? The have tons of rich friends and customers who will chump up the money to get it.

$25K is a fill up of the fuel tank on the "boat" for those guys.

I honestly don't think that's the norm. Yes, there's a few that just give them a blank check. But from my experience, most guys that pay cash for these, still are aware of depreciation and value. I do think that the TRX is a direct competitor and might be the better option if we are comparing $115k new TRX vs $150k raptor r. I'm seeing quite a few available Raptor r's on the lot...they are just asking too much and so they are sitting. Just my opinion.

No luck...they said there will be a significant ADM. It's still in transit. Sounds like at least $20k over

Ram is not competiton. The body will rust out, it's heavier, has less power, plus it's a Ram. 2024 TRX is the last year as well, you would be buying vechicle with no future parts wise. They are killing production of the TRX's engine. Ford is jsut getting going with the S/C 5.2L.

The dealers know exaclty what they can get out of them, they sell vehicles for a living. They know what the market will bear, and MSRP is not it. Buyers have griped over markups on Raptors since 2010.

It's just like what every other company is doing, jacking up prices because they can even though there may be no justification for the increase. Once they get their price's up seldom do they ever go back down. Just a bunch of money hungry grabbers with no care for people.

How much money is enough?
