Using it as a negotiating tactic on someone else selling a similar car? Give them the "well there's another one for sale on CL for way less" spiel to see if the seller of the car they're looking at will drop the price?

Exactly. I think the owner has been living with a chain rattle for awhile now and is trying to sell it before it needs the service.

Not sure about blitzkreig as a dealer... But pretty good price for such a capable truck. Mileage is a little higher than some I've seen but it looks in good shape. It has the updated 6.2 instead of the early 2010 5.4

2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Well I've been watching the prices for a while on those raptors. Hopefully with the 2017 coming out the price on the older ones will drop. I had to take the ST on over 50km of FSR this weekend. Didn't pop a tire but after being forced to park it, hopping in my buddies rubicon and doing an easy 90km/h it's pushed my want for a vehicle to suit my lifestyle.

Or I could just rally prep the focus more lol

Raptors are sweet, hold their value incredibly well too for being a murica made truck. Also curious as to the prices after the new one comes out

I'm shopping for a new work truck right now, mainly looking at Raptor for max-douche effect.

The fact that it's offered by Blitzkrieg is a solid pass - no thanks.

^^^...for us not into the know....is this the sketchy Kingsway Dealership that sells Cars without a report unless you look up the VIN yourself for a 10 grand damage in front end after Telling you nothing is wrong with it.

What else?...Painted over Body Rust?

They are actually a really well-known service shop/used car dealer for Porsche, BMW, etc.

They bought my 993 and proceeded to misrepresent and straight up lie about the car. Oh and they refused to sign the transfer form when I handed the car over citing their "insurance guy" needed to sign it first prior to giving me my copy. Bullshit.

I handed the car over to them with 80,300 miles on the odometer. They listed it at 79,500 miles on their website the next week.

I told them the car had the RS conversion bodywork done here by a shop in Richmond, that the RS bits are not OEM Porsche, that there was a mileage discrepancy for 16k miles back in '99. And they proceeded to advertise the car with having OEM RS bodywork, no mileage discrepancy, and the kicker? Bodywork was done by Porsche of Calgary and the "previous owner is an avid collector who is downsizing his collection".

It was a really, really nice car. So if they need to make up that much bullshit on such a car - I can't even begin to think of what they'll try to get away with on a shitty car. There's a reason their white 997.1 GT3 has been sitting there for nearly a year now.

The worst part is apparently the car sold and whoever bought the 993 probably overpaid by about 40k due to their "upselling".

imo, unless you're really into svt or just showing off in general, theres no real point to a truck like the raptor. an fx4 like mine is more than capable.. hell, that asking price for a used raptor is what i paid for my truck new in 2011.

That white GT3...... i actually almost bought it from the guys they got it from....... (it was a wholesale piece from Van Porsche.... they didnt want it as the mileage was racked up... and car was due for servicing)
