[QUOTE="Icecobra, post: 383593, member: 8470"] Ask yourself this- why would a company,in business to make profit, go to all the work that's involved with ordering, following up repeatedly on said order, and and spend the hours of customer service it takes to handle a special order only to turn around and break even on the deal. DEALERS call my store daily to buy the trucks we have for $2000 to $3000 over invoice so they can sell to their customers. Anyone telling you they can sell at or close to invoice for a Raptor is either a. Lying ~or~ b. located in an area where super trucks aren't big sellers. So I am happy to report your an idiot. You question those on here as if we have something to gain by lying about the purchase price. I am happy to provide a copy of the sales agreement to anyone that wants one. Second in my case the dealer explained that if I order and it has my name on it, that truck does not go against how many he is allowed to have.
