I pre-ordered (no down payment) my Raptor R from a local dealer when the 2025 order banks opened on day 1 back in September. I've called the dealer recently to check on the order, but no build date is in sight. The Sales manager claimed they received two allocations last year but wouldn't tell me when or even confirm if they have one. I'm "1st" in line in their order bank though they claim. I'm worried they may not even have allocations for 2025.
My question is for you guys. Can you place a pre-order if a dealership doesn't has an allocation? Some dealerships I've spoken to say you can't place an order without one. I've heard mixed answers on this.
At this point, I may just go look to buy a built one. However, I'm having a hard time finding one at MSRP (as I'm sure most of you are aware of). I do have it in writing from my dealership that my current order would be at MSRP.
Not sure what to do.
