Don, I get it you don't like me posting advertising the truck allocation and to be honest I don't care. I have actually contributed and answered questions as well as asked a few on the forum here. What am I not telling the whole truth about? That I asked 1k over and am $5800 on the deal? Pretty sure I have been up front about that the whole time. How about the people asking me how the allocation system works and me explaining it better than any of the other dealers that are fielding phone calls and just taking peoples money not having a damn clue when these truck will actually be built? It amazes me how many posts were asking for 5k-10k over and it generated no negative comments, so why has mine upset so many people? Again, I really don't care, I am thrilled that Randy and I were able to get together to order him the Raptor he wants. I am happy I was able to answer Parish questions regarding the allocation system, and I am happy I was able to check on the bead lock carbon fiber issues people were having. I will continue to answer any questions and help anyone with anything they need on one of these trucks. Looking forward to posting the next allocation! John
Pay to advertise on this forum, or get lost. There's a contributing vendors section on this forum for a reason. What makes you better than them to advertise for free?
______________________________________________ I am interested but IM all the way down in Tampa. I know you guys deliver. can you send ma a text at 813-445-6101. Thanks. at $1k mark up, I guess Ill just take it. Im done tired of fucking dealers playing this BS. I'll get them back somehow.
I did notice this game being played. I went to Bill Curie Ford in Tampa, FL. When the guy saw, I had an M3 and was willing to buy a Raptor. He took me to the back and showed me the black Raptor. When he asked one of the guys, one guy him him that it was already sold. Then, the guy told me he was going to check on it and he may be able to do something about it if I really want it. So, I told him to appraise my M3 and Ill let him know whether I will finance or not. Because if they dont give me what I want for my car then, Ill just put a down payment down. So he talked to whoever and reminded me that there is a $20K mark up so, i told him that Im not willing to pay for graphics sticker options, so why would I even pay $20K. I even told him that unless the Rator came with a 2017 Yamaha boat, ill pay he $20K mark up. So now, its all making sense. Maybe one of the reasons why others have been getting delayed delivery. Their shit is getting sold to the highest bidder. Well, Ill see if I can get this Raptor with 1K mark up plus shipping. I guess I just need to find out what to look for when I order it especially if its going to be over the phone.
Sorry Miko I purchased this one a week or more ago and was able to change it to what I wanted. Great to work with and they may get another allocation. You do have to take delivery at there dealership, I wiill have a 2000 mile drive home. I would call John at the number he posted, some guys on here don't want him posting here trying to help people out finding a good deal and make a profit for the dealership he works for, hurry though
Let me know too man.. I took a break fom surfing the web to find if there's a dealer out there that would sell for MSRP. If not, Ill just wait..keep on waiting. The $5K I was somehow thinking about using for the ADM, I already spent it on guns so now, there is now way Im paing $5K.. now $1K.. more than likely "Yes"
No problem, Randy, COngrats. Im glad you got it though.. Let us know how your experience is when you finally get it.

Tell you what Gdog it seems pretty important to you so if you turn your name blue paying the $39, I will do the same then we can both have something to complain about when this happens in the future.
I have my truck. that's what's important to me.. Met some really great people along the way here on this forum. that's whats important to me. the rest is blah blah.. good luck NFG
Gdog may bitch a lot (no offense Gdog) but he has the right idea of what this forum is about.... it's about guys (and girls) and their trucks, cool shit for their trucks, parts for their trucks, pics of their trucks, experiences they've had in their trucks, talking to other people who they have something in common with. Sort of a brotherhood. IT"S NOT A SALES FORUM! I'm all for John what's his name contributing on here, answering questions, asking questions, GREAT!!! but not selling trucks. Once again, this isn't Carmax or Autotrader. At least go to the supporting vendors section of the forum and use it as it was intended. That is all. Cheers!
Personally I wish there were a hundred Johns posting here, I'll take 1k over in a heartbeat right now.
Would be interesting to see if struggling to get a truck at a reasonable price might change perspective for a couple of folks on here. Guess if I already had one I'd only want to talk about mods too.
