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

I find all these Raptor R at MSRP post interesting reading. I get it people want a deal but the bottom line is the Raptor R is Ford flagship Raptor with the most powerful engine you can get in a truck at this time. They meaning Ford or there dealerships are under no obligation to sell you me or anyone there top dog truck are the lowest price possible. To think you are entitled to this high end truck ar MSRP is quite naive to say the least. They are in the business of maximizing as much profit as possible off the speciality truck. You can call them greddy shady or whatever they do not give a **** about any of us. You don't buy it someone else will. If you manage to land one ar MSRP your lucky and good for you.

When I was looking to get one I was well prepared to pay the markup thats how it is on specialty vehicles and many other hot cars and trucks. This is the world we live in now nothing is getting cheaper.

How much was your ADM when you bought it and when was that? Thanks

Markups? Three fookin’ slices of mediocre pizza cost me $16.08. When I was a kid I got two slices and a coke for fitty cents, d a m n it.

When the price of a slice drops, the price of @Oldfart ’s goats will too.

Bought mine in May. I’m not saying I agree with it. I think it sucks too. what you do if you want the truck bad enough and you have the money to do it. You buy it. You only live once you can always make more money.

This is how I landed my mostly loaded Dark Horse for almost 5k under MSRP in July. For ref: all the other dealers that had them within 200 miles of me wanted over MSRP. I tried using Autotrader and changing zips, but once I got to travel expenses and time that exceeded a day, i stopped at that distance. There was I think one at MSRP that wasn’t featured like I wanted, but mostly there. The one I bought was black, very well featured and came in at 68-is, sticker over 73. This place was the very definition of “the sticks”. The entire car lot was dirt and gravel. It had a very “shady, used car salesman” vibe. I held my nose and sat through the ordeal and took the “W”. I didn’t see a single Mustang there, but lots of trucks, and economical types. Some Mach E’s too. Not sure how these guys landed a Dark Horse, but I got to it with about 7(?) miles on the clock.

My ’17 Raptor I bought from Front Royal, VA ... not what anyone would consider a big city, about 90 minutes away from DC. Very good vibe here, and got the truck at MSRP in January, 2017.

Don't forget about winter up north. It applies more to sports cars than trucks, but there's 5-6 month period where nobody wants a new car because the weather is shit.

People up north want to buy as soon as winter is over, and don't want to step foot in a lot after the end of November. It's too damn cold, and half the time there is snow and ice on the ground and the cars.

I've gotten a few in demand Ford cars at MSRP in late November when the sales dept realized they were going to sit on them over winter if they held the ADM. Had to talk to about thirty dealers in a 200 mile radius to find the one.
