Finally!!! 1st time Raptor owner

My first post on here. You guys have been very helpful!!! I ordered one back in November from a local dealer in central Florida at MSRP. I STILL don't have a VIN number. I've been looking and calling all over but couldn't find anything under 5K ADM. I been doing this for 2 months. I randomly stopped at a different local dealer yesterday and saw a white one with the options I wanted. I found the GM and explained how frustrated I was and told him I would buy his at MSRP. He told me they had just bought that one for MSRP from another dealership. He said give me $1,000 over MSRP. Now, I didn't want to do this because I didn't want to waste $1,000. I said let's look at my trade. To make a long story short, they gave me more for my platinum then I expected so I did the deal. Couldn't be happier!!!
My point in this is...for those waiting, I think the prices are getting ready to come down to MSRP. The market seems to be getting saturated with 5k over deals. They have to start letting these go. I totally didn't expect to be driving my new Raptor today!!!! Someone posted earlier about being in the right place at the right time. It's 100% true. Good luck to all. Well worth the wait!!!
Thanks for all your help!!!!

Looks great!

Congrats!! Beautiful truck.

Now, I need to keep my fingers crossed that I'll be in the right place and right time sometime soon

well done.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you get on trade for the platinum. I have a 2016 and am in the same boat.

Congrats! I get my first Raptor tomorrow so I understand your excitement! Looking good!

I had a 2015 Platinum. They gave me $40,000. I expected 38k. Had 28k miles, no moonroof

Congrats....sure things work out for a reason....now how long do you keep your cars for? Just asking because you owned the last truck for 2 years. Big losses when it comes to buying new and trading in every two years...

Blessed is the best answer for that. Haha. I don't have any vises except for vehicles. You are very correct, though. Not good investments......

Congrats on your new Raptor. Now go get that bitch dirty.
