Apologies for the silly title, but I'm not very experienced with buying new cars, well, ever. But I have my heart set on a RRaptor (and I've already unloaded my Tacoma to free up funds to do so).
After watching the Bronco fiasco (and the Lightning fiasco, and the Maverick fiasco) It's dawning on me that acquiring an in-demand SVT vehicle is more akin to getting Taylor Swift concert tickets than traditional car shopping. You need to be well prepared with a game plan or you're either not getting a truck, or will be wildly overpaying to do so. In fact every dealer within a 3 hours drive from me up in the PNW has already boldly admitted to expect a ~10k+ ADM.
So, informal poll for folks intending to have a Ranger Raptor in their driveway this Fall/Winter. Do you have a plan yet? Do you already have a dealer or salesman lined up? Are you expecting to pay an ADM? If not, how do you find these straight shooter dealerships that won't burn you on a markup? I about wore out my phone battery calling dealers and couldn't find a single one, so if you've any tips or know of any volume dealers please post 'em up or shoot me a DM.
