ive seen them advertised in a cycle trader book for 6200. it was a place in ohio called jj motors i cant remember the phone number but i could get it for you.

 

I paid $6250 for my raptor and my friend got his for $6000, one way to pay less is to tell the dealer there is no way in hell you are going to pay set up fees,

 

Here, most dealers ask for 6500, but you can get them down to 6000.

 

bash- do you have any ideas on how many raptors are being produced for the 2001 year?I picked mine up friday. On the cover of the owners manual the number 5473 is hand written. That same number also appears in the vin #. Any ideas?

 

like scramblerjer said
J&J has them listed in the cycle trader for $6,296 if you bring them the add.
When my buddy bought his '99 banshee a few years back from J&J he paid under $5,600 OTD. Thats for a 99 brandd new, when they just came out.
Its not too far away from akron eithier.
