When I say a dealer is being honest I'm talking about showing the list price and then the 10K add on. Other than the piece of paper on the window I wouldn't trust most salesman as far as I can throw one. The worst part, a lying salesman can be found just about anywhere, they're not just limited to car dealers.

There is a reason why a lot of people (including myself) call them Stealerships...

I saw two on a lot at a small dealer in Vermont this weekend. Neither showed a dealer markup on the window.

Fixed it for you.

Good or bad, dealers are necessary. Need a place to buy and service, at least while under warranty.

FYI, I’d love to see someone tune, do suspension, wheels/tires, make their truck hold value like the raptor and go through all of the hassle for much less over what an F150 costs.
point being, it’s not that much more if you say you will do this this and this to a loaded F150 and think ur gonna save a ton. Look at black book value of a 2017 f150 and compare to a raptor. When u put those parts on an f150 they are valueless. Keep that in mind



Kentucky

one more in stock, blue.
picked my race red up today with 802a package, raptor tech pkg, fully loaded. Very pleased
long time customer of this dealer
boufht Shelby GT350 at sticker and today my Raptor at over $3,000 under sticker. We bought 3 vehicles recently so no, I don’t expect them to go that low for everyone but I bet it’s under sticker!
called multiple dealers around USA, all were at sticker except Texas. Let me know I can hook you up with my place or there. Why the heck not let them just ship to you for that savings!!?
5th eco boost I have owned and absolutely love this Raptor!

I spent about 45 days in contact with 4 local dealerships, three of which I've purchased more than one vehicle from. During that time they all said the exact same things, "no current allocations" and "the ones on the lot are $10K over sticker" and "you can put $500 down to get on our wait list".

I saw the same thing when the new 2005 Mustang came out, and it was not a "specialty" vehicle, but dealers had a huge demand and charged what the market would bear. I paid full sticker for a 1997 and a 2004 Cobra too.

I was considering doing what so many other people do and order one from out of state. The Austin economy is not as bad as the bay Area, but for Texas it might as well be.

I was lucky and found a dealership (that I've never used before) who sold me a 2018 at sticker. Build date is not even set yet, and I read of people getting $4-5K under sticker. But I'm happy to get one without being gouged.
