I was just looking on Trderonline to see how many DS's and Raptors were for sell. Well there were 14 DS's, the prices seem OK(around $5500-$7500)
Then I went to Raptor. To my surprise there were 40 matches. I coun't belive it,then when I seen the price I just started laughing.I paid $6500 for my DS. and my friend (I think)paid $6800. Well the prices for these Raptors were as low as $7000 and as high as $8500. I was woundering why there are so many for sale.And how much did you guys pay for your Raptors.

I paid 6,500 with out tax for mine and you know why people are selling them for that much and why??? Because they only paid 6,500 for them and there are people out there that want them bad!!! So they sell them for 7000 and make a quick 500 bucks on them. Not a bad deal right?? Hell I would sell my Raptor right now for 7,000, than go buy a new one and i got 500 left over for mods and i didn't even have to work haha

I believe $6499 is the retail price for a Raptor. In my opinion if you paid this or more you paid too much for it.
Here is why, The suggested retail price is from the manufacture. This is not the price the dealer has to sell it to you for to make money. Your dealer sells it for retail because there are people who don't care what the final cost is as long as the payment is affordable. They make payments more affordable by extending the life of the loan.
I say lets not pay retail, you don't expect to pay retail (window sticker price) for the new cars you buy do you? Why a new Quad? Find a dealer who will work with you and treat you fair. If everyone just could wait, and say no to retail prices, dealers would start dealing again. Lets turn this into a buyers market not into a sellers market. MY way dealers still make money and you get a deal.
