[QUOTE="BlackEvo, post: 1244206, member: 24423"] I ordered mine from out of state (OH). I had no luck searching in CA. Keep in mind that to do a courtesy delivery you have to find a dealer willing to order it and one willing to receive it. There is often a service fee charged by the receiving dealership. The obstacle is dollars and cents really. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have been able to gather is that the dealer ordering the car gives up some portion of the sale (2% back-end money) to the receiving dealer. This service was designed for fleet sales and is labor intensive for the receiving dealer which is why you see the sharing of proceeds. Imagine Bob's Taxi service ordering 200 new taxis to be sent to 10 different locations. The receiving dealers now have a huge increase in demand on their service department to get those vehicles prepped for a sale that isn't theirs. Granted, your 1 truck doesn't cause a big demand on the service department, but you get the idea of why the proceed sharing is the way it is. A dealer selling a Raptor is less likely to take that profit hit for a courtesy delivery. Not impossible but very difficult. Depending on where you live, you might consider buying in AZ or NM and driving it back. More dealers have come down to MSRP. I ordered from Pallotta Ford in Wooster, OH. At that time (Nov) they only had 2 allocations left. They were at MSRP pricing. A good deal IMO considering shipping to CA is about $1600 and not so reliable. Plus you don't have to worry about insuring damage in transit. They are pleasant to deal with. Good luck. There is also a guy on here that works for a dealership in Tenessee (Raptorsales)and they will do Courtesy Delivery. I don't know where they are at with pricing now. They had a small markup in November. [/QUOTE]
