It isn't gouging if you're free to say "no." Why don't you report buyers to the AG? You know ... the buyers who pay high prices and keep the market up?

Or report Ford. If the MSRP was $20k lower, a $20k dealer markup wouldn't be as big of a deal.

So there is a nugget of wisdom here - as long as 1 idiot is willing to pay it, dealers will keep asking it. The buyers that overpay are responsible for the perpetuation of the stupid markups we see.

Dealer isn't off the hook, but the buyers paying over are making it worse.

I don't see a market given $30K on just three trucks. If there was, then why isn't every dealer in California selling RR at that price, which is the cost of a Ford F150 Raptor here? I agree they can charge whatever and the buyer can say No. The dealer is paying to keep the unsold vehicles on the lot plus insurance. Calling Ford is useless. They know at Corporate what this dealer is doing because the dealer is a big bug in Sacramento with connections and Ford has given him many awards.

You're right. Flooring costs (what the dealer is paying in financing) add up quicker than people realize. If I were the dealer I would be trying to move units as quickly as possible, I don't care how 'special' they are.

I live in Massachussetts and a dealer 10 miles from my house wanted $7k over MSRP and wouldn't budge .I thanked them for the test drive and walked out
Ordered one from a dealership 80 miles away for invoice($2300 under MSRP)with no added fees

my local dealer wants $6,500 over MSRP for this one https://www.santamargaritaford.com/inventory/new-2026-ford-ranger-raptor-4wd-supercrew®-1fter4lr7tle08575/ ......I bought mine from here for $2,000 over I think......but they gave me $1,500 more for my trade-in the Carmax......so I really only paid $500 over......that's GUY math!...LOL

Phoenix area is still really bad. I was at the dealer getting an oil change just now. Noticed a sand RR on the lot so I walked over and noticed the 20k adjustment fee with a total of 82k . I would still not have a Raptor if I didn't know someone in the biz and payed MSRP. This place sucks for buying new.

I researched used and noticed the average price with miles over 20k was 50k-54k

At least they did not charge for nitrogen in the tires

I will finance mine for 60...


...60 seconds, or however long it takes the certified check to clear.

I could not afford a Raptor if i wanted too.
Without financing it.
I settled on a left over white
25 Fx4 xlt 2.7
I got 25,500 on my trade in which gave me a tax credit on the 37,200 i bought the 25 for.
I did not get to drive a Raptor but the 2.7 seems fairly quick. My 19 i had was great on the Rocky Mountain trails out here in Idaho so hoping this will do the same.

 

[Watchdog62]

i got my 2025 2k under invoice, but it included 1800.00 for bead lock rims I would not have opted for. it was the first deal I found at or under MSRP since the RR came out.

Absolutely stupid. Don't buy from these dealers. You can fly to NY and buy one for under sticker and drive it home.

This will change with time... you are most probably young.
Most seniors don't finance... we just pay cash.
When I was young, I bought an International Scout for $300.00 and a bicycle because that was all I had and I needed a vehicle upon college graduation.

I'm in the Southeast and bought mine this week at MSRP. While researching locally, they are selling fast. The dealership that I bought mine at sold all 3 they got in the same week, literally as soon as they came off of the hauler truck.
