[QUOTE="image98, post: 1199259, member: 25122"] Hi, I’m new to the forum. I purchased my first truck, a 2017 Oxford White Raptor Supercrew back in July. I emailed probably nearly 25 Ford dealerships and found a Southern California dealer (near home actually) whom gave me a price that was very close to MSRP. I guess I was in the right place at the right time considering every other dealer in the area was 5 to 10 and even 15k over! [ATTACH=full]274709[/ATTACH] I just marked one thousand miles on the odometer. I love this truck!
