I Bought the Cheapest Ford Raptor EVER for $14K but WHY? Sight Unseen Purchase!

In some state, if you park so many car in your property that in residential zone, the state will forced you to lease a commercial zone and filed a state license with department of revenue. also if you have a repair facility you need another license and pay taxes.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Luckily this house was approved by the county, and the city for commercial use. And as for licenses - the entire property is licensed as a used car dealership with commercial insurance on the cars and the property. As a dealer I’m not required to tag these cars and I can park them anywhere I want.

Touchscreen Calibration: press and hold the CD eject button and then SEEK UP at same time for about 5-10 seconds. This will put the unit into diagnostics mode and it does a speaker test. After the speaker test is complete a menu will show up. Now press and hold the seek down button until the calibration screen appears. After following the instructions for calibration, press anywhere on the screen to exit. It is now calibrated properly and you may exit back to the main screen.

The fact that a 11 year old raptor with a clapped interior crappy wheels and front bumper 247k miles and listed as a bad transmisiion brought 14k at AUCTION is a serious testament to how well these things hold value. Badass truck

[@Legendaryares]

a low mileage one with good condition here in canada still holds about the same value as if they were brand new, around 50-60k.

The blacked out military badge is the Combat Infantryman Badge. The badge is awarded to infantrymen and Special Forces soldiers in the rank of colonel and below, who fought in active ground combat while assigned as members of either an Infantry or Special Forces unit of brigade size or smaller at any time after 6 December 1941. The smaller one is a service ribbon. Not sure what for,

[@dmcmanis03]

You beat me to it. I am a Combat Infantry Veteran. I think the service ribbon is the South east Asia service ribbon. They were for Afghanistan and Iraq. I have that one also.

[@denniskurbansade834]

Nice looking truck. If was having a trans problem it most definitely can be the tire size throwing off speed sensors and shift points.

Man! Your Raptor looks so much better with the proper wheels.

Dont let the high miles scare you, I've got 300k on my 09 and runs great,doesn't leak or use any oil.

[@Dave1380-bq9fk]

200k is not bad on these trucks, has hundreds of thousands of miles left

[@jenniferstephany9231]

I would put a factory front bumper on the Raptor that after market one in my opinion takes away from the truck. As far as the blower speed I would replace the blower motor resistor my 2010 Ford Expedition limited had the same issue and that resolved the problem. My Expedition has over 247,000 and it’s still going strong it’s all about maintenance the Raptor is a keeper.

[@Go_XRP]

I have a 2014 with 70k miles and love it. She just sits in the garage gas is $6 a gallon here.

[@Albertacountrykid]

You should put those chrome rims from the raptor on your 2018 I think it would make it look a lot better than those factory steelies

[@joer8399]

the military items are from the us army. The rectangle badge with gun and wreath is combat infantry badge, the ribbon looks like an army achievement medal. One of the previous owners likely served in army infantry career field.

[@Kjack2023]

Backseat Headrests were possibly taken out for better visibility from rear view mirror.

[@UnhungHero]

The fan issue is a common Ford thing. There is a resistor behind the glove box or next to the blower motor that needs replaced, and it'll fix the problem

The white one for the work truck and the red one for the fun truck. The one that would put a smile on your face.

[@SouthsideKidd550]

The truck came from Gwinnett County, GA. Metro Atlanta on the north end. I live on the southside in Fulton County. I live like 25 miles away via the Atlanta Downtown Connector. The big dealerships here kick high mileage older vehicles (trade ins) to auction. Most of the time those vehicles have multiple mechanical and body issues. The dealer will not tie no more than $5,000 on average in a car that they know they will lose on profit. In Randy's Raptor case, someone traded it in. The dealer kicked it to auction due to the issues that Randy stated. If the dealer was to sell it, they would have to tie over $10,000 in repairs because big dealerships do not buy aftermarket parts for cars that they sell. If Randy got it for $14k then the dealer would sell it for almost $30k if not more no matter the mileage. It would be a cash deal only but either way, its all about profit. A clean example of a 2012 Ford Raptor that we had for sell had like 65k miles one owner and not modified. Nalley Toyota sold it for $41k.

[@chrisaldridge954]

I live in Clayton county which is about an hour away from Gwinnett County

[@SouthsideKidd550]

@@chrisaldridge954 Yes, in traffic which is horrible.... It literally does take an hour just to go 25-30 miles to Gwinnett.

[@Mike.D.843]

The tag should have been removed from that when it was traded in. Georgia tags do not stay with the vehicle, in Georgia the tag stays with the owner and can be transferred to another vehicle. (I live in Georgia).

[@maverickflint1991]

That is awesome you found original factory takeoffs for the Raptor.👍

[@thomaslibonati]

That’s a sweet Raptor. I definitely think it was worth buying. It looked so goofy with those Lariat wheels. 😂 I know the fuel economy sucks, but think about how much money you’ll be SAVING over paying the Ram 3500 note if you chose to keep this as replacement. Always find the positives 😅

[@cherokeeoutlawmartiel5340]

I could not agree more.

[@kurtisbrowne8194]

Agreed I didn’t think 250,000 miles on a 2014 car is a good idea in my opinion after 2011 or 2012 everything started to become crap. I could think about to many trunks I would rather buy for 14 or 16k that be bought it for

I think it's a great truck and buy for the mileage and age. The puff of smoke on startup is probably just the valve stem seals, it was very common on the 80's Ford Escort here in Europe with the 1.6 CVH engine, i believe it's nothing to worry about.

Hey Randy, another winner, in my opinion! Best looking one! Love the color! For that price, I think you have another score! You want to rotate those trucks according to what you’re doing! longer hauls go for the one with better mileage. Heavy hauls more torque etc.

Nice Truck!!!! When you went on your drive ya shoulda hit the OK Button on your steering wheel and see if your MPG went up.

[@coejo]

Hey Randy keep in mind those wheels were smaller and may have contributed to higher miles being the wheels doing more rotations than a bigger wheel and may have been the transmission problem they were stating

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

I think the previous owner had a really nice set of custom wheels on the truck. The wheels that we saw on the Raptor are probably off of a friend of the previous owner’s truck, or whoever he sold them to. I traded in my lifted dodge ram dually under similar conditions.

[@bigjay6743]

Those wheels haven't been on their long trust me.

[@locotrucker46]

I love chrome wheels but I think the raptor wheels actually do look better.

[@TylerADV]

Randy, I will say, my employer has a very large fleet and all 3/4 tons have the 6.2 and they've been dead reliable. We've put them through idling for hours at a time, pulling equipment on trailers, hauling heavy loads in the bed, and they have handled it all. I honestly can't think of any time they've needed extensive repairs. The high miles wouldn't phase me a bit on that engine. That'll be one hell of a truck.

[@carlbernard4197]

Helps especially if your crew has their own fuel depot so the owner has full control of the quality of fuel they get. Made a huge difference on the farm I was raised on.

[@TylerADV]

@carlbernard4197 That's heavily dependent on the office. I will say our maintenance system has to be spot on, though. You get alerts and written up if it's not done on time. Before these, we had mostly 6.0 Powerstrokes and honestly they held up better than you'd think as well.

I have always liked those older raptors, but like you said prices are still high on them. Someone spent a fortune on gas at 10mpg and putting 247k miles on it. At 3 dollars a gallon that $74,000. Probably paid more in gas than the truck cost new.

F250 has same problems screen has a relay on passenger side unplug it for 30 seconds then you recalibrate touch screen ac stuck on high is the ac blower control module also on passenger side under dash.

[@tokuzumi1]

As for the choice for a work truck; The long bed 5.0. Raptor can't tow/haul much compared to the other two. The 3.5 ecoboost is a decent engine, but you'd be better served doing work with a naturally aspirated 5.0 V8 long bed. More cargo capacity, and better towing because of longer wheelbase.
