Hello all. First off Im sure this question has been asked several times but I am a newbie and have just begun to search the forum. I finally paid off my existing car and am interesting in purchasing a 2012 fully loaded raptor. Most the dealerships in my area (St. Louis, Mo) do not have one in stock or if they do its just one. Ive been talking with a sales person from one who stated they do not negotiate the price for raptors and they always go for the msrp. Is this true or do i have a chance to negotiate a lower price? Thanks in advance.

Could you tell me more about your experience? I'm stationed in Germany.
I have a 2013 on order and got invoicing pricing. Email me if you want to know the dealer I am working with. BTW ... I am not affiliated with the dealer in anyway. I am just a customer. You can email me at khoi at eat pho ... .com

most of the time it depends on the dealership and sales staff... wait til the end of the month when the sales ppl try and push units out to get bigger bonuses. then ask for more on your trade in

Raptor911 please email me- I'm new and can't pm.
But I'm in the same boat, walked into the dealer today, looking at ordering one.
He said that he's only allotted so many. so he was going to charge msrp. I told him ill fly across the country for less than what msrp is and bring it home still under.
So I'm really looking for a place that can order a 2012/13 and will charge invoice.
If anybody knows any dealers close to the midwest or closer to washington state please let me know.

One question.
The dealer I talked to said he was only allotted 4 for 2013, I understand this as ford is sending him 4 raptors for his lot....
But when I asked him to order me one, he said that it would count to his total of 4 allotted, is this true? or BS.

I have heard it does count against their allotment and then I heard that it does not. But who cares. Your dealer will have a sale if they order one for you.
Jeff,
Read post #43 and you will see my email address. Email me and I will help you.

It's BS. It does not count against their allotment. It could be that he just doesn't know what he's talking about, which is really common with these guys. Get the info from Raptor911 (I passed my contact onto him) and you'll get your Raptor pretty easy.
Just get yes or no answers. And nail down your price up front.
The main concern I have right now regards the other fees charged when ordering a new truck. Obviously TT&L and delivery charge, but I've heard of others.
1. TT&L
2. Delivery (~1k)
3. Fuel charge (100-something)
4. A fourth charge from ford, supposed to be in the neighborhood of 1k. Wish I could remember more about this one, could be wrong.
Anyhow, how have experiences been outside of negotiating a base order price for the truck? How much over the purchase price have the final totals been going?

The first three, from my understanding, are things you can't get away from and are already included in the invoice pricing. It's a base fee from Ford. I have no idea what you're talking about in #4.
On every window sticker you'll see the first three. Totally normal and part of the purchase price. When you get an invoice quote from one of these sites, all these fees are included in that.
For 2013, there are 3 charges beyond the cost of the Raptor, dealer specific processing fees and state taxes. And everyone pays these:
Fuel Charge >> $134.28 >> that free tank of gas is not really free
ADV Assessment >> $784 >> Ford charges the customer for advertising
Destination & Delivery >> $995 >> shipping your truck from Detroit to the dealership
