    Looking at a 2010 Ford Raptor SVT with under 100k miles.. how expensive to maintain them?

    Thank you!! I got 5 or 6 quotes and one shop claiming they won’t do due to the structural component of the seat belt on Ford raptors? I know plenty of people who had their raptor rocker panels replaced so idk where that came from

    Rust isn’t good but the rocker panel is the issue. Comes with a 12 year old truck. Thanks though I’ll need it haha.

    Rocker panels need to be replaced. The rest of it I just scraped off with soap and water on a sponge just now and gotta cover it in rust-oleum paint. Rocker panels will cost $400 for a set, the labor is what I’m worried about. Built in a budget for this stuff but concerned it’s gonna cost me...

    How badly will this rust set me back to fix? Located in Midwest so expected to have a budget for repairs liek this due to winter and ice

    Yes you’re correct. But this one was immaculately well maintained, never off roasted and I’m using it as a pavement pounder. It’s a 2010 5.2L V8, most of you guys have 6.2L gen ones or gen 2s so it’s a baby version compared to you all but I love it and already got some used shocks for it that...

    Because I’ll be a dentist in a year and the car is over 6k lbs. therefore as an independent contractor, it’s a tax write off once you write a bill of sale to your own corporation as an associate or if you own the dental office. Therefore it ended up making sense once an accountant looked at
