Some very good deals out there on XLT configurations. That said, I didn’t do as well on my Limited as I had hoped. Partially because the Limited and Platinum configs are suffering from some availability issues and custom order lead times are 16+ weeks. I’ve been working with two different dealerships trying to track down the exact configuration I wanted. Finally found it without having to order. So that being said, they knew they had me and I wasn’t going to let a couple messily thousand bucks keep holding me up. Another identical config to mine except in platinum white showed up at another dealer yesterday and they’re asking a $7500 premium over sticker for it. All the dealerships around here are selling Raptors for $15K over sticker and inventory is moving at that price, so I can’t say I fault them for it if people are willing to pay.
Anyway... I came in a bit over invoice price on my Limited Max 4x4, 302A options, HD Tow package, 2nd row buckets. $78,505 sticker price and they gave me $2000 off plus the $1000 Ford Customer Cash and raised my trade-in value by another $1000 over their initial offer. Which actually put it $2400 over what CarMax was offering and $800 more than a near identical one was listed for sale there. So not terrible, but I don’t think I would’ve done any better here. Dealers seem to have 2 to 4 XLTs sitting on their lots, but they can’t keep the Limited or Platinums very long, most selling before they even hit the lot. Recent storms have a lot of the rail shipping held up so new inventory is slow to move west at the moment.
