Hey I'm seriously considering taking the plunge and picking up a supercab. I stopped by my local dealership today and was thrown off by the experience a bit. First off, the dealership stated that they did not allow for test drives and they had a mark up of over $5k. They didn't have what I was looking for in inventory but told me that ford dealerships were allocated a certain allotment per year for orders, which they had one left that I could take advantage of.
Is it common practice not to allow test drives? I've never owned everything of this size and want to legitimately want to know how it handles given that it's quite the expense. Is it possible to pick up a supercab at msrp? Or can I expect it to be few and far between depending on my patience? Lastly, do the dealerships have restrictions around how many orders they can place for the raptor?
Again, this all seemed off to me especially after already testing out high german cars at other dealerships. Thanks!
