I have a 2017 ford raptor that I purchased in February. When I bought the truck it had 8000 miles on it. It was and is in very good condition. Black exterior. The msrp on the truck was $ 69,000.00 , it has every option you could get at the time. I paid $ 65,000.00 for it in February. That's the best I could do to avoid paying $ 5000.00 over msrp for a brand new one. And I searched a lot to find one within driving distance so I could drive it and see it first. I love the truck, but I am surprised at how much they are depreciating in the last 6 months, specifically gen. 2 raptors. If I had waited five to six months I could have saved almost $ 10,000.00.

right now I am seeing 2017 raptors with low miles for around $ 58,000.00 plus or minus, which means dealers probably paid somebody around $ 53,000.00 as a trade in or at a auction. Considering most people paid sticker or above in 2017, owners who traded in 2017 raptors are taking roughly a 20 percent hit or around $ 15,000.00 in one vehicle year. That really surprises me considering how well they were retaining their value thru 2017 , New and used.

i was just wondering if anybody else has noticed this and if this is such, platinum's are now holding their value a little better than a lightly used raptor. Just wondering if anybody who might have some close ties to ford dealers can explain the heavy depreciation in the last 6-8 months ?

makes sense. Thank you. I’m glad I did not pay $ 5000.00 to $ 10,000.00 over msrp for mine, although I still paid to much. Thank you.

wow !!!!

thats almost hard to believe !

Where are you seeing them in the low 50s? I would’ve bought one... lol. I almost picked up a 17 with 20k for 60k. Thought that was an insane deal. 801a, every option.

I meant to say raptor owners who traded in their raptors, 2017, probably got $ 54,000.00 to $ 55,000.00 on trade. Autotrader has several 2017 raptors on sale for $ 56,000.00 to $ 60,000.00, which means the people who traded them in probably got around $ 51,000.00 to $ 55,000.00 trade allowance since most car dealers put $ 5000.00 on top of what they paid for a trade in.

extremely far off the margins you think are in used sales.

i don’t think so. I know for a fact I am not “ far off” the margins used. Some dealers use more and some less, but that is a very good average.
