Local Dealer has a new Raptor

mikes93cobra · 08-03-2009, 04:31 PM

Crown Ford here in Fayetteville has a black 5.4. I believe the MSRP is just under 42k and the mark up makes it right under 48k

That truck is pure SEX!!!!!

Dealer markups are a bunch of crap.

I like it.

When I read "dealer markup" I had the same reaction as the guy in the last photo.

I cannot agree more about mark ups with both posts above. I can't wait for a orange 6.2 to come out though

i want one

So nice, gotta start checking my local dealers for them as well.

As far as markups go, the dealer near my parents house had two GT500KR's sitting out front for a hefty $120k price tag. Yes, that's a $35k markup. They did the same when the GT500's came out and cost $70k. I'm guessing the first few Raptors they have will run around $60k at the least.

There is a red one at my local dealer. Based on the markups they had on their GT500's, I'd expect at least a 20k markup on this, but haven't had a chance to stop in yet. In this economy, though, markups a joke, because even at msrp, they can't move expensive cars!

laz2447 · 08-07-2009, 09:31 AM

To rich for my taste, but still a nice truck.

IH8GM · 08-07-2009, 02:01 PM

does the dealer mark up get included if you want to take advantage of cash for clunkers? limit is 45k i think.

that truck sure looks good, i cam imagine owning i just tint the windows a bit man its sweet.

cobra_4 · 08-07-2009, 02:10 PM

I like it. Im impressed with the sticker price too. Maybe Ill be in the market for a new truck by the time the new engine comes out.

SLPSVT90 · 08-07-2009, 03:45 PM

I told you guys they would mark them up.

black 10th vert · 08-07-2009, 10:13 PM

I actually went to see it up close and personal today. I had mentioned that it was red in my previous post, but it is actually a reddish color with orange metal flakes in the paint. Very cool finish! The sticker was around $46,900. I started it up and was surprised at how quiet it was! Definitely needs some dual exhaust with some decent mufflers. All in all, I was impressed with it's aggressive look, but upon close inspection the entire large grill is kind of flimsy plastic, and the interior is loaded with kind of cheap looking plastic as well. It is an awesome truck, but it just seems to me that for $50k, you should be getting some better quality trimmings.

I thought cash for clunkers had a mpg limit on what to buy? i could be wrong but the raptor gets less than 18 mpg.

I have no trade and I got a great deal on my Raptor , I gave them $1000 to Order and I am very happy. It is black with gray stripes all optioned out except the orange interior, and the tail gate extender. I feel the orange will get old after a while so I went with the black.

Eating my own words I guess. Was driving by the Ford dealer and saw a nice, shiny orange Raptor out front. Quickly went across two lanes to pull in and check it out. To my surprise, there was no markup at all! Base price was 38k, but it was loaded with pretty much every option including the luxury package and navigation, making the final price $46k.

I might try to get a test drive one day. I figure the truck is expensive, but rolling up in my Jeep should at least show them I'd be interested in the off-roading aspect of it. We'll see I guess.

Oh, and one thing I noticed. The BFG A/T's they put on it are soft as hell! Way softer than my Kumho KL71 mud tires, which I thought were already pretty soft. The BFG compound is probably softer than my 200 treadwear Kumho XS tires on the Cobra. I predict a lot of complaining from owners about the tires wearing too fast.

I looked at a black Raptor yesterday at a local dealer. Sticker was $43,9XX and there was no mark up. On top of that, they would honor A-Plan pricing. The A-Plan price was $37,917.

Options were:

luxury package
sunroof
rearview camera
tailgate step

I need this truck in my life.

Thats a bunch of bunk...........the Raptor is not A/Z/X/D plan eligible.....period, end of story.

Are you seriously gonna argue with me? Being that I'm a Ford employee and have bought other SVT vehicles on A-Plan I think I know what I'm talking about.

I've already talked to two local dealers that have one on thier lots and will give me A-Plan. There is another local dealer that won't and they still have 12 2008 GT500's that they still have marked up $10,000. They are the same dealer that had 6 03' Cobra's in the showroom when I was looking for one. They denied me and I drove 8 miles down the highway and bought a 2003 Zinc Yellow for $29,650 with 4 miles on it.

Its the dealers decision to give A-Plan on it or not. IMO, if your A, X, or Z Plan and they deny to sell it to you for it, take you business elsewhere.

Yes...i am going to argue with you because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I too am a Ford Dealership employee and Ive bought several SVT vehicles on the A/Z/D/X plans myself. Im the General Sales Manager at a dealership in Las Vegas. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT the dealers decision to give you A plan or not. If you worked in sales at a Ford dealer, you would know that on the last line of the Vincent statement for an A plan eligible vehicle there will be the amount of money the dealership gets back from Ford for selling the vehicle at A/X/Z/D plan price. If you run a Vincent with an A plan code, look at the bottom of the statement. If there's no money amount back to the dealer, then the vehicle is not eligible. Just because Ford prints an A plan amount on the invoice does not mean they are A plan eligible. They do this so that if they decide to make the vehicle eligible at a later date, then the A plan price is already on the invoice. The only way a dealership would be "honoring" an A plan price at this time would be if they were taking a pure $2000.00 loser on a brand new F-150 Raptor and not getting any money back from Ford. Highly doubtful. And on top of that, it still would not be an A plan deal because they wouldnt need a PIN or any of the supporting documentation to prove your eligibility.

CGoeschel · 08-31-2009, 04:39 PM

P.S.- I just got off the phone with my Ford Zone sales rep. She confirmed that the Raptor is not A/Z/X/D eligible at this time.

new2BIGPAR · 08-31-2009, 06:39 PM

I don't work in sales, I build Ford vehicles so I don't know what your talking about nor do I care.

I have 2 dealers here local that have given me A-Plan prices that have them in stock and one telling me that when they get thier white one in they will honor A-Plan as well.

I have no reason to lie to you or anyone else on this forum. I have nothing to gain telling a lie.

When I bought my 03' Cobra, it was the first one the dealer had recieved. They had it marked up $10,000 over the $34,750 sticker price. I walked in (after being denied by the other dealership that had six on thier showroom) told them I was a Ford employee, had a PIN, and was ready to buy the car. They dropped the $10,000 markup and gave me A-Plan.

Glad I don't live in Las Vegas.

qachargh · 09-01-2009, 12:39 PM

I didn't really get a good look at the interior of the raptor I looked at, but can you get the seats in cloth or are the all-black seats still leather? I hate the way leather feels and my job equipment doesn't treat leather seats so well.
