Brownbag, I am stationed in Colorado, so I started there and fanned out. Called over 50 dealerships. Took a long time. Finally found one a couple of states over with two allocations. One had already been sold, the other was mine after hearing my story. I did the same thing for my GT350. Small dealership in MI. Got my GT350 for MSRP. Thats a deal on those, if you know anything about the ADMs they have been seeing. It will take some work, but I promise that you will find a deal. I do have an order in, and they were a lot more receptive and willing to make phone calls then MAS has been. I hope MAS comes through for you guys. You guys see that they already released the details of the 2017 GT350 lottery? Seems odd that they have the details on that car, a specialty vehicle, dates and all, but can't give us anything on the Raptor. http://blog.militaryautosource.com/m...helbyGT350_901
Thanks, Alex. I'm stationed in Colorado as well. Phil Long in Colorado Springs quoted me at $20k over MSRP. Which dealers did you reach out to in Colorado, so I don't waste my time?
Dude sounds like you're just impatient and are just pi$$ed you weren't the first. Picked up my 17' 350, $54k out the door through MAS compared to $62k for 16 Model in my local dealership and waiting for my Raptor however long it takes. 3rd vehicle since 13' through ENCS/MAS and never an issue with the guys on BAF, some issues with the admin though.
Congratz! Looks like a chic magnet. I've wanted one before, but I'll never be able to leave my drive way in Colorado.. And I doubt her, the Raptor, and Jeep Wrangler can fit in my garage.
That's awesome! Glad to see it work for someone. Yeah they have some awesome deals. I got my GT350 for around 57K out the door, and consider myself lucky not to have paid above MSRP. The guy I was working for through MAS was above board, and super professional. Nothing but good things to say about him. Nice color. I went with race red.
Something in that nature. I called an Alabama Dealer and he is willing to work it with me for MSRP. I am consolidating my info as we speak so I can give them my options. Honesty, the last few days work has gotten in the way of my Raptor thinking. I got time. I am still getting one so I can come up there and deplete all your waters of trout. Count on it
haha. Well considering I have already caught all the good keeper size trout here you are more than welcome to all the baby wigglers that are left.. count on that
Yeh? I bet you haven't caught big momma yet. Wherever baby wigglers are at, Big Momma is nearby. I am going to mount that beast on my Grey Avalanche and drive through your town..LOL Speaking of Grey Avalanche, I got a quote from a dealer in Alabama. I'll send you a copy IM so maybe you can help me understand it. Its written in Chinese math. Let me know if you're up for it.
Send it to me as well Intel, as I know the source, I'm sure I can clarify it for you. And even if it proves to be rocket science, I'm qualified <grins>.
I spoke to Dean today. He said he received an email from their office in New York stating the specs will be in their ordering system next week. Good news? I don't know, since he told me now they are just waiting to see how many allocations they will get. So, we will be able to build our Raptors next week, but they can't submit the orders yet. One thing after another.
I consider that good news, I will at least know if their deal is so much better than MSRP from a stateside dealer. That way if they don't get much allocation I already know how much more I'll be paying stateside since I have at least MSRP locked up.
