Watching Barett Jackson on TV, and they just sold a 2010 Raptor for $130,000.

Never did I think it would sell near that price.

 

wow that guy got rip off, on ebay their sell for 42 to 47k buy it now price


Ford will auction rights to the first retail version 2010 Shelby GT500 (Lot #1347.2). With world-class handling, aggressive styling and 540 horsepower, the latest generation Shelby GT500 delivers unparalleled performance. Ford will also sell the first 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor offered to the public (Lot #1347). The purpose-built, high-performance Raptor is rugged enough for challenging desert adventures yet refined enough for everyday use. All proceeds from these Ford vehicles will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

thats bj web site

 

whats the deal with those things? limited production? factory upgrade options/ or a totally different line of f150? how much did they sell for? can any one just buy one or do i have to win the lottery and find a B/J auction?

 

all i can say is.....put it this way.....HE GOT F****D!!! he's probably kicking his own *** right now.

 

Some people have enough money that it doesn't matter. I am sure he is one of them.

 

Possibly...........if all the proceeds are going to charity......he just got a BIG write-off.

The IRS would probably allow the $130,000 minus the real cost of the vehicle as he got a benefit from the donation.

IMHO

 

130k on just one, hell if i had that money, i would have bought 3, one for me, my brother and my sister. different colors of course.

 

130K for a $25K truck with 15K worth of bolt on items. No thanks.

 

There is one sitting at my dealer's lot that my son told me about. We went and looked at it Wednesday night and it stickered for around $45 or so I think. No markup.

 

This was a charity deal. BJ offers a few at each event with one focus. To raise a nice chunk of change for whatever the foundation is.

I'm sure there are a few dealers out there who saw this and added more to the ADM. However, BJ is about offering the opportunity for attention. Vehicle values/prices are of no concern to those bidding/buying during prime auction time.

 

Did anyone of those saying the guy got rip-off read it was for CHARITY? ppl are so quick to judge others they don't even read or think...

 

I know it's for charity, but it's too bad the buyer didn't get the 6.2L for that price. Of course then it wouldn't be a "first retail production" model.

 

Yeah...apparently a lot of folks didn't read that the proceeds went to charity. Kudos to the guy who bought it!!! Hopefully no one here will need the services of that charity!!!

Ryan...welcome to FTE...say hi to Tony!!!

 

Apparently a lot of people also missed that it is also the first production raptor to roll off the lines. The first and last of any vehicle are nearly guaranteed to be worth something in the far future.

 

That and it was for charity. Watch those BJ auctions, they will have a charity car or 2 every auction and they always go for well above market price because 1) it is for charity, 2) it is a write off and 3) they can. So nobody got f$%^&ed on anything.
