agree, it also depends on how many are built. Plus, with parts constraints when will the second round of raptors be built (I’m assuming Ford has everything needed for this first batch, could be wrong), I’d have to assume 2023 model year.
I think you’re right. At least until 2023 BRaptors start rolling out (presumably in higher volumes??)
We added zero options, I don’t want any constraints. If the price gets ridiculous we will definitely sell. With everything going on, China locking back down, parts constraints, etc who knows when the second round of raptors get built. Which I think could drive the price of this first batch higher.I think you’re right. At least until 2023 BRaptors start rolling out (presumably in higher volumes??)
Thinking about this more, the comparison to FE pricing is probably the most relevant given it’s the the next most expensive/exclusive trim)…
Ford made aprox 5,000 First Editions in 2021 and it is still fetching $30k over sticker (a year later) as a USED vehicle. And let’s be honest, the FE is a just a trim package! Chassis, engine, suspension, sheet metal, wheels/tires, all identical to what’s on the other trims (mainly Badlands & Wildtrack).
BRapror will have fewer units produced with (reportedly) 3,000 in 2022. And this isn’t merely a trim package…. It’s a totally different vehicle! Pic below proves it. Superior chassis, engine, suspension, sheet metal, wheels/tires, and interior. Not to mention the halo that the Raptor and Ford Performance names bring.
So again, why do we think dealers will settle for only $30k ADM for a unit that’s on the ground?? I agree it’s gonna be more like $50k. And while I doubt anybody in this forum will pay that (nor would I), the dealer doesn’t care. Either some fool will -or- it will sit on the showroom floor for months, which they are totally fine with. In fact, I almost think they prefer that it sits since they won’t have another to replace it with.
I'm assuming the orders that are all due by next week are the only ones that will be built this year. Ford knew exactly how many allocations they were going to send out so they knew the maximum number of Raptors they were going to need to build before a single one was ordered. I'm sure it will be close to the exact amount of allocations they sent out because I don't see a dealership passing up the chance to get one on the lot if they didn't have a list already.
And some idiot will pay it.
If you're lucky to get one at MSRP, FLIP IT and you can almost pay cash for a WT with HOSS 3.0.
It’s $10k more than a Hoss Wildtrak equally equipped, easily worth that much more.If you're lucky to get one at MSRP, FLIP IT and you can almost pay cash for a WT with HOSS 3.0.
I'm sorry, its a nice vehicle (even though the fenders are hideous) but IMO, its not worth it even at MSRP. This is coming from a BaseSquatch buyer at $42k.
Where’s your dealer at?
