I have been actively shopping raptors for about a month...I have a few different deals in place but the bottom line I can get a 2011 w very low miles or a 2012 for 4k more....or do I just wait for the 2013 order bank to open. I think once that opens the price for the 2011 will drop a few grand. Any advice or thoughts are appreciated,

Get a 13' if your patient and a 12' if you want the color Red and/or front/rear cameras. Bottom line. The 12' has 4.10 Torson front end for better rock crawling and the 13' is new terrain color with HID's. There's a few options u have to weigh out. Don't forget Rim choice as well from the 11's-12's
I don't see value depreciating a few grand, maybe $100's to a thousand.

I'm in a similar boat. My dealer just called me and said he can order a 2012 for me if I want. But I'm going to wait for the 13.

I was in the same boat. I ended up picking the '12 because I really like the blue accents in the interior. I assumed '13 wasn't going to have it.

only reason I was contemplating on wait for a '13 was the HIDs. but it'll be easy enough to swap later (Hopefully).

I was in the same boat 3 weeks ago and all those up top I listed was how I came to my conclusions. Either way, you will be very happy! I def. opted out of the 11's due to rim style and front end gear box.
Good luck!

I was going to wait to get a 13 but when I found a low mileage 10 at a good price I had to jump on it!! The bottom line is a Raptor is a Raptor and you just need a blank canvas to start making your own masterpiece :peace:

That's another reason to buy brand new. Just being a second owner is the biggest drop, lol. I bought mine $4k higher than a used 11' 6.2 with 31k miles. Welcome to the wonderful world of SVT!

I would get a 12 now if I could find what I want. Supercab loaded black or blue paint... All my local guys buy are super crews which I don't want.

Sigh guess I'm in the waiting game for a 13, Randy you take trade ins?

Yes, I can take a trade-in.

I just need 8-10 pics, Vin#, miles, tire/glass condition and ANY other info, that would help put a reasonable $$ value on a long distance trade vehicle.

thanks randy
