Trade the 18 or Not

nick71692 · Jun 18, 2019

Right place right time I guess...They had a ton of 19s they ordered, sold off quite a few, but still have 4-5 which is a good amount for my area. It took quite a bit of back and forth, but finally I think they got tired of me and gave me what I wanted. I am fairly certain it is a record for largest discount out there.

I did not figure out the issue because I cannot replicate it...Someone replied that if the truck idled to long there were other similar reports. I am chalking it up to that. The truck runs perfect, no hesitation, no rough idle, no warning lights.

I think it might depend on what state fees are also. In California, they would be north of 5K. I love my 19, but never driven an 18. BTW, I heard a lot about the brakes on Raptors being sub-par, my 19s are fine. The Lemon Laws in California calculates fair market value for mileage at about $.50 per mile, anything less than that is a fair deal.

Ouch!....why are you yelling at me?
The brakes are not "sub par" but are not what many feel as strong...also like many I like a high firm pedal and although they are not mushy, not high and firm either..

Sorry,
I was not yelling, just trying to read my post. This forum's default font is too small for these old color blind eyes.
I have been flamed for not using spell check when I used a word they did not recognize, but it was spelled correctly.

By any chance, did you ever attend Raptor Assault driving a 2019?

I have not, I havent taken advantage of my seat for the 2018, but would like to get my dad to go as well and hopefully use the 18 and 19 seat at the same time.

Reason I ask is when I attended, there were a few 2018 owners who drove the 2019 and by the end of the day were saying they wanted to trade their 2018 for a 2019

Can you share how you got them down over $10,111? Would be Great to leverage with my dealer.

A big factor for me was they had a good amount of inventory...from there it kept picking at them for about a month before they finally gave in because none of the trucks were moving. Initially they were $4k off and finally when they advertised $6k online I called them and told them where I needed to be to make a deal.

Most people won’t even take advance of the new things on the 19 over the 17
