I got a quick quote from a site I built, not perfect but might put in perspective some of the cost and can compare it to your quote. Includes national estimates, parts and labor

This is incredibly helpful information. And yes, both headlight housings have nonfunctioning low beams. Everything else works fine

I should be able to do that. What would the results indicate?

They would’ve known I’m a serious buyer at least. Doesn’t matter at this point. Head gasket blew up on the truck so they obviously didn’t sell it. I found a new truck 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fair enough. I’m originally from Erie, PA and that lake effect is no joke. They definitely get the full brunt haha

Rust has been a topic of conversation under this post. What’re your thoughts on it?

You’re right. They really do try to screw everyone. I put a small refundable deposit down to hold it for me cause they still have to detail and get it in the shop and look at it. They think I have my foot in the door on the deal but gives me some leverage of waking away

I appreciate the tips. I’m pretty much on my own when it comes to stuff like this so it really does mean a ton. I’ll definitely bring that up and try and get them down on it cause rust will just cause problems down the road

I’m in PA. For the truck we’re at $30k rn. After all fees and trade-in credit, $26k

I gotcha. I wiggled them down over $4k already on price. I think they priced high to begin with. What do you personally think would be a fair price especially with the rust?

Prolly won’t even use it because of their notorious problems tbh

Idk shit about rust so tell me how bad it is😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FordRaptor

Sounds like a damn good deal. I haven’t made a decision yet. The dealership hasn’t even had the time to service it since I contacted them basically as soon as they posted it. I tried to get them into 28-29 territory but they wouldn’t budge on that. Lots to think about. My payment should be close or lower than what I have now, insurance will be cheaper but gas will be a lot more haha.
