New member here. Currently looking at trading my 2017 Shelby GT350 in Lightning Blue for a 2017/18 Raptor with 802A, Sunroof, Forged Wheels, Tech Package, Carbon Package.
I have been trying to work with a local dealer here in the Sacramento area on a 2018 Magnetic SCREW Raptor, but they won't come off a $10k over ADM. Everyone I'e contacted around here has a damn ADM. Same thing I faced when I bought my GT350. I ended up buying that from Texas because it was a 50 state vehicle only. However, with the Raptor, it's not as easy to buy out of state, since most don't have CA emissions.
So I found another Ford dealership in the area with an unadvertised 2017 Raptor SCREW, 802A, Tech Package, Lightning Blue, Hood Graphics Package, Heating Steering Wheel, Heated Rear Seats, Carbon Package, Forged Wheels, Tailgate Appliqué, Tailgate Step, Bed Extender. MSRP is almost $71k. The dealers owner has it as a demo with 400 miles. I really wanted an 2018 because of the oil pan leak which seems to be popping up and the B&O audio. I was also leaning more towards Magnetic or Lead Foot. However, what do you guys think about buying a 2017 right now? If it's a demo, then it should be sold as new. They will also throw in a Line-X Pro bedlinen, since this one doesn't have the factory liner installed.
It's the only MSRP or maybe slightly sub-MSRP deal I've found in the area. The only option it has that I really don't want is the hood graphics.
I'm trying to trade out of my GT350 this month because the registration is due in early January to the tune of $650. So I'd rather make that someone else problem too.
