my gen2 '17 raptor was 68k, minus a couple options. had it 5 months and sold it. It was my first dabble in full size pickups. Much prefer the midsize. Wish they made one with good power. May buy another Tacoma and put a super charger on it.
Jim, you didn't like the Raptor? I was behind one coming home from work today. So nice!my gen2 '17 raptor was 68k, minus a couple options. had it 5 months and sold it.

Nope, didn't like it, enough to keep it anyway. Yup, they warranty the TRD supercharger. doesnt gain but maybe 60 HP but better than nothing! I like the ride and feel of the smaller trucks. I'd wait for a ranger raptor, but they would probably drop that 4 banger in there and that's a no go for me.Jim, you didn't like the Raptor? I was behind one coming home from work today. So nice!
Does Toyota still do the TRD supercharger or would you go aftermarket?
Reached out to a GM/Dodge GM friend the other day. says hes sure 20-30k ADM on them, as his stuff was going for 15k over easily the 1st year.
Anyway, his former blah blah blah is now ford GM. Put me in touch with him. Hes confident hes getting 3, due to volume, past allocations, etc. Im working on a deal with him, but hes attending the superbowl right now. Once I have more specifics next week ill update
No surprise someone will pay itVisited a north TX dealership today to look at a Super Duty. They expect at least 2 GT500's and they will put at $50k ADM on them.

This is getting ****ing retarded.
Now that i think about it, it would be even better, if i have the 500 by then, me and the mrs go and waste their time. pull up in the 500, say we want the explorer. get throughth bs and say, you know, my brother wants a gt500 now too, can you give him "x" model for " xxx/whatever i end up having paid" and see there response. ive got tons of free time, trolling dealerships would be a blastI'm totally down for wasting the time of dealers that charge ADM...I'll offer a ridiculous mark up on the GT500 and maybe say I feel uncomfortable paying 50k more for a car I haven't even driven; bet I get a few test drives.
Indeed. That's why I've resigned myself to the likelihood of getting a '21 model year. There may be a few '20's that go for MSRP, but they'll be the exception, not the rule. Same waiting game I had to do with my '14.
Lol meanwhile here you can easily get $5k off MSRP on a Raptor and a GT350 that you order or on the lot. MSRP on the GT350Rs and GT500. Sometimes living in a smaller market has it's advantages.Even with the Gen I's...Raptors have brought ADMs throughout the entire model, it blows my mind lol

The problem with this get back at the dealership startegy is it actually wastes very little of the dealerships time. It does waste a lot of a sales persons time. The guy doing the paperwork will spend 5 minutes, while the sales guy will spend hours.
Most good sales guys usually are working very hard for a living trying to get you what you want. Most car sales guys only make money if they make the sale. It does not cost the dealership money if you are taking up that salespeson's time. If a sales guy is good, they will work to get you what you want at a price you want because if he doesn't make the sale, he does not get paid. Find a good dealership with a good sales guy and work that way. Yes, I know there are some "sales" guys that might deserve to have their time wasted, but usually these sales guys are working at shortsighted dealerships looking for max profit, not long term customers. They will have 10 other sales guys hanging out like vultures. You taking that one guy away trying to teach the dealership a lesson on the one or two GT500s they get will will only help train that sales guy to be one of those bad sales guys for that dealership. He will treat the next buyer like they are dishonest in their intentions. It will not train the dealership management as much as the idea sounds fun. The best way to do what you want is to not to show up at all and go to the dealership that will work for you.
