Anyone know the 'latest' time span from ordering to keys in hand?
Dealer guessed anywhere from 3 to 6 months.

My dealer is only giving me $27K in trade-in for my '16 XLT 'today'.
It cost me roughly $42k new. So much for XLT trade-in values.

Reason i'm asking, he said the trade-in could be considerably lower when the Raptor arrives.
Time/mileage = money!

That sounds awfully low. What is your mileage? I just did the NADA trade in value on my 16 XLT FX4 and it is $34,875 clean. I'd expect the dealer to only offer me around $32K at first. But $27K is crazy.

Thats what i thought too!
One hell of a depreciation hit on a 1 year old vehicle!
Especially considering it only has 11,300 miles,
FX4 SCAB, clean, still smells like new, 302A, no dings or scratches, ext. gas tank, navigation, tail gate step, spot lights, bed liner, power rear window, 5.0, etc.

The minus's are a bambi $%&'n deer hit on the front bumper only and it was replaced good as new and maybe because its a SCAB instead of a SCREW.
Went on i think it was the blue book website and it was about the same.

If i can get a trade-in deal somewhere in the low $30's at time of delivery, a Raptor is definitely in my future.
Gonna check out NADA and maybe other dealerships.

Problem is this dealership is giving me MSRP with no add-ons but maybe they're off setting that by low balling the trade-in?

At least i might have some bargaining chips!

Yes! I would bet the house this is exactly right. Go to another dealer or three. There is someone out there that will sell you a Raptor at MSRP and give you a better/decent trade in value.


Let us know how it turns out. Couple more years and I'll be looking at a magnetic Raptor as well.
