To Raptor or not to Raptor

You can keep it at my house. I'll even drive it around for you occasionally to make sure the fluids get circulated.

raptor in NY sounds like a nightmare to live with between parking in tight spots, door dings/dents and hellish insurance/tag/storage fees. But hey, if you've got the cash burn why not? YOLO!

Had a 11 Raptor with 6.2 that could break 15s 1/4 with 98 mph top speed so I'm sure a 3.5 EB can. "Cough"not that anyone is drag racing a raptor

did you have a supercab truck with headers, exhaust and a tune? I've never heard of a stock gen 1 raptor breaking into the 15s.

cool trucks none the less

Uh, 2014 Raptors didn't sell for $70k. You might want to look that up.

Loaded MSRP was around $57k.

$57 - $48 doesn't equal 22, not where I come from...

that's still over 60k out the door.

my point is OP could save thousands just by getting a 14 or a 15 Raptor.

There is no 15 Raptor. It was on hiatus for 3 years.

I said the same thing about affording it. If you got the cash and have that great opportunity to get the new Raptor at a great price, I say go for it.
@mc01svt He has a place to park it in underground parking for 400-600 a month!

Buying a raptor just because it's "cool" doesn't make a ton of sense even with a better situation for it. You can be a home owner with plenty of parking, never gonna move, other cars to drive , plenty of money etc. and it's still a decision that has to be weighed heavily. So clearly for you it makes zero sense.


With that said hell yea buy it cause it's badass and post pics lol.

With $400-$600 for parking, id get the cheapest reliable pos i could find if i needed a vehicle.

edit* Who am i to give advice like this. I'm currently in the process of getting rid of good paid off daily for a more fun car (ctsv ls6). Carry on! But i do accept im making a bad decision.
