Good deal on a 2013??

My local Toyota dealership has a 2013 White Supercrew with 58,600 miles. They have it listed for 40,9xx and they came down to 39,8xxx. The body is in good shape with 2 minor rock chips that have been touched up. The interior is in great shape. A previous owner had a Magnaflow muffler installed which dumps right in front of the rear axle, which resonates in the cab but it isn’t too overbearing. It has Cooper tires with about 10k miles left on them. It drove well but I haven’t drove any other Raptors for comparison...

When it comes to options, I think it would easier to list the things it doesn’t have as in no moonroof, bedside graphics, tailgate step, or bed extender. I believe it has everything else offered but I may be wrong as I don’t know the break down of all the packages offered.

It is listed on the J Pauley Toyota website if you need to see pictures. I’ll try to answer any questions. Any input or would be greatly appreciated... Thanks.

Here is a link to the Autotrader ad for the Raptor:https://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=463318460&zip=72855&endYear=2018&pageLayout=list&sortBy=distanceASC&startYear=1981&searchRadius=75&mmt=%5BFORD%5BF150PICKUP%5BF150PICKUP%7CSVT+Raptor%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D

Carfax looks clean and shows 2 previous owners.

My 2013 terrain supercrew with 85k miles was $38k, but talked them down to $36k because during the test drive I mentioned that the shocks seemed bad and needed to be replaced.

After purchase I replaced the following: rebuilt all four shocks (~$1200 after options, me installing), rack & pinion and outer tie rods (~$1000, me installing), and new plugs (not very $ but a pain to do, uses 16 plugs). My sync was also a mess, but got ford to update for free.

My truck still kinda wanders at highway speeds (was a lot worse with the stock rack & pinion) but I'm unsure at this point if it's normal or control arm bushings.

my 2013 is at 133k and does not wander on the highway.
the only thing i think i have noticed that i would like to change a little is that when in a turn and an immediate bump comes on it has a quirk where it likes to get a little squirrely.
for me i think its funny and semi fun, the woman however i do get worried sometimes.


the price doesnt look too bad, i actually prefer no sunroof but mine had all options but the graphics i believe.

my buddy just bought a 2014 with 50k on it for 45k. so idk if that helps but thats what he spent.

I think if you can get down to 38s range its a great deal. Figure its missing options so it does affect the resale down the road. You are going to rebuild the shocks ($1000). Tires?
Best of luck. Find out if they have the rings for the wheels? ($600 if you have to buy them, helps to negotiate.

Mine does that same thing when turning and hitting a bump. The wandering is weird, at slow speeds the steering is tight and tracks straight but at higher speeds it gets play in the steering wheel which makes it hard to keep it tracking straight. It's had 2 alignments in the last 3 months and everything is torqued to spec .

what kind of speed are you talking here? around 90+ the front starts to get a little floaty.

regular 70-80 mph highway speeds i dont notice anything.

It starts around 70 mph. My tires are brand new but I'm gonna rotate them next oil change and see if that helps.

toss stock wheels on and then give it another go.

your poke may have something to do with it. changes your wind footprint. this is just a guess, but its a slightly educated one.

Thanks for all help. We were able to get a deal worked out and I drove it home today...

A couple of you have mention rebuilding the shocks. Are you sending them back to Fox to be rebuilt or someone else? What is the standard life expectancy of the factory shocks? I know that is a very open ended question depending on how they are being used but I’m just saying on the average.
