I sent Randy a PM last night inquiring about ordering a Raptor.
I received his response before I awoke.
After exchanging a couple of emails, he sent me a quote. Little did I know at the time, he was taking care of a personal matter. Had I known this, I wouldn't have bothered him.
In any event, we chatted on the phone, discussed logistics, and pricing. If I was going to buy from Randy, my plan was to take my middle child, Jack (5yrs) on his first plane ride to go get the truck and have a father/son road trip back to Chattanooga.
Randy quoted me the standard $3,000 off retail. Which was great.
In the meantime, I have had a conversation going on with my local dealer here in the noog. I test drove the one Raptor they had on the lot last weekend. They don't really have a reputation for dealing, but I figured I would give them a shot. Picking up locally always beats travelling.
To my surprise, they gave me a quote that was just at $1,000 (2%) over invoice, or $4600 off SRP.
So, I call Randy. I tell him about my local deal. After telling me to take the deal, he offered fantastic advice about making sure I got all of their fees out on the table, etc.
I am going to the dealer tomorrow to place my order, but I told my sales guy that if even one thing seems amiss, I will walk out on the spot.
It feels good to know that I have such a great option in my back-pocket.
I was kinda looking forward to the road-trip with the little guy.
Randy is the man.
Thanks again brother,
Brian
