I ordered this a long time ago and it happened to come in two weeks after my Super Duty did and I just can't justify it. It's currently at Appel Ford in Brenham if anyone is interested. PM me or Repro for details, but this thing is so effing badass, someone needs to do it.

Very nice…will buy lotto ticket.

So in the past month I've seen you post a 2023 F150 KR, a 2023 F250 KR, and now a Bronco Raptor. Sheesh.

It's good to be king.

ETA: In all seriousness, Covid presented some good opportunities for someone like myself to try a bunch of things out and not lose too much , if any, in depreciation. But those times are now over.

I really wanted one when I first heard about them. They are so wide though, I can't get past that it makes them look a little odd to me.

You can get the same engine in an Explorer ST for $40-50K less. There's nothing that justifies the astronomical price of a Bronco Raptor. I guess it's a cool toy though if you just have money to burn.

Thank you for your comment. It was very helpful to the point of this thread…

You're welcome. If it saves a fellow Ag from making a stupid financial decision it was worth it.

You should get it to hold you over until your Sterrato comes in.

Well, the flip side to your comment is that you're also helping to prevent another good Ag (Repro) from making a sale, so...

Anyway, I was mostly just kidding with you so relax.

I'm just fine and Repro has been selling fords with ADMs so he's fine too. Look, I think the Raptor is cool and said as much but there's nothing very special about it to justify the price. I have an Explorer ST and the 3.0 EB is the tits. The ST is a much better platform to enjoy the hot turbo than a Bronco unless you are the rare multimillionaire that's going to take a $100K Bronco rock crawling and racing Baja style across the dessert.

So what's the price?

to each their own but this auto board caveman wants the cool looking bronco that goes fast

I drove one and they are so freaking badass. Humpit is correct in that they are certainly pricey, but to those who have the means, I doubt you'll regret it.

Beautiful Bronco - still enjoying my EG Badlands.

FYI - THANK YOU FOR TELLING THE BOARD THAT RAPTORS ARE EXPENSIVE AND DEFINITELY A DISPOSABLE INCOME TYPE OF PURCHASE

You should have snagged the GT500 you were checking out a while back. That's a supercar bargain and those are really holding their value. Engine and DCT unique to the platform. Very hard to find similar performance at that price point.

You should list a price if you want people to seriously consider it. Nobody likes calling a car salesman if they have no idea if the deal is reasonable or not.

Repro told me $10k over MSRP in July, I imagine it might have come down a little bit since then.

I will start the bidding process at $5,000.

I'll let you know my bid after the lotto tonight!

Kind of sucks, but Repro works at a dealership known for putting ADMs on their vehicles.

I called him a while back, and at that time even for a standard Bronco they were 5k over. So I hung up, did my homework and found a dealer in South Dakota that sold me my Bronco Badlands Sasquatch for 2500k under MSRP.

2500k under MSRP is a screaming deal

So I still have the highest bid. We closing this out and selling to me, or what?

Pfft...I'll offer $5,000 and a kick to the nuts to save OP time from watching Aggie Football lay another egg this weekend. Can't put a price on time.

Meh, I don't mind individuals and businesses trying to maximize return on a sale. Most capitalists shouldn't. If you don't like the price, all you have to say is "no" and move on as it appears you did. Running down a salesman for doing what any of us would do as well doesn't seem fair in my opinion.

I'll trade my 97 LC with 305k miles for that and 10k.

Eh, I'm as much of a capitalist as anyone, but vehicle sales are another animal. The manufacturer tells us what the vehicle is suggested to be worth in order for the dealer to make a nice profit over what they paid to get the vehicle in stock. And if there was any way to buy direct from Ford, that would be the high water mark for what someone would have to pay for a Ford and perhaps consumers could even buy for much less than MSRP if direct sales were possible.

But instead the dealerships have a monopoly on selling vehicles to customers, and because of that monopoly, they like to take advantage of customers when able to.

The salesman isn't involved in pure capitalism, the dealers have worked themselves into privileged positions mostly through political lobbying where they purchase from Ford for a low price and then hold customers hostage because we don't have other options.

I'm sure Repro is a nice guy outside of work, but I have no interest doing business with a dealership who operates like the one he works at does. I'm also sure that some days he goes home knowing he reamed a good Aggie on a deal because he's "the board hookup" and he likely doesn't shed tears on our behalf.

You all should look into Granger Ford in Iowa if you have time to order your Fords, and you'll save much more even when accounting for the cost to ship or drive home.

And for those wondering, I bought from Lewis and Clark Ford in Yankton South Dakota. Small dealership, but on the Ford site you can track incoming vehicles, and I had good timing and an attractive trade to make the deal I did.

I appreciate you questioning my integrity. Unfortunately I don't remember our conversation where you "hung up on me". I choose to work at this dealership because of the way they do business; with honesty, integrity and transparency. It's why I go into so much detail about market adjustments, dealer adds, the the buying and ordering process, price protection, what happens if the price of your order increases, discounts and rebates just to name a few. We don't wait till you get into the finance office and say oh yea there's this added. I've spoke to a lot of Aggies from here over the years and there are some that have found lower priced deals at other dealerships. I've always told them even though you don't buy from me if you have any questions you can always reach out and I'll do what I can to answers them or help in any way. I've also done business with a lot of Aggies from here and their referrals. I'm sure there are several that will vouch for the way we do business.

Thanks and Gig'em
Buck

I've bought at least three or four new Fords from Buck over the last five years and have never had a single issue or problem with the process. Car buying is the only industry where a buyer can freely insult a salesman's integrity for not selling an asset at the price the buyer wants to pay. If it was your dealership, would you want to break even on every deal? The price is the price. If it's lower somewhere else, then go there. But to use words like "ream" I think is way out of bounds.
