speedtripler Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm going to buy a ranger (either the xlt or wildtrak) I understand the price is usually non negotiable but you can ask them to throw in some free stuff.... Also, would there be any price drops in the "old one" when the new 2018 ranger raptor is launched next week I know it will hurt the 2nd hand ones when there is a new better one available but wondering if it will affect the old ones in the dealerships by much (I don't need to buy immediately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I got 100,000 baht discount on the run-out Triton when the new model was released, plus all the usual extras like free insurance, window tint, tray liner, wind deflectors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth it to wait until the new model is available , but then I'd be more tempted to order that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxipeon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 where do you read that price is non negotiable?? Dealers add many free stuff that are already in the car for showing you a lot of bonus... Just ask the best price he can make for you, and go see another dealer with your quotation and ask for a better one. Also you can join fb group about the ranger, sometimes you can find ppl sharing good quotations. But in one week or so, they will present the new ford ranger raptor in bkk, and maybe also an upgrade of all the other ranger. Not time for buy a Ranger, wait a little bit.

Yes, the new raptor is released next week, but believe there is a minor change to the ranger coming shortly after that. Any guesses on the new raptor price...1.3-1.4M ?

They seem to have aftermarket all terrain wheels and other bits and pieces stuck on them. Not sure about lift kits though (they look stock height to me). These definitely are not genuine ford parts. Personally, I'd just buy the vehicle stock and change parts elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also seen them around with non stock all terrain tyres, bonnet scoops, full and partial body kits, etc Even in shopping malls and motorshows they display them with non standard parts Not sure what's made by Ford and what isn't Never hurts to ask.....

maxipeon Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Wildtrak have the 18" wheels include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Regardless of the lift kit being of reputable origin, the warranty will be voided. Even changing out the OEM lighting to LED's will get you a warning when you take it in for service or any under-warranty BCM resets due to the LED's and Ford's CANBUS electrical architecture talking different languages (usually results in loss of low-beams or error warning on the dashboard). Wildtrak comes with stock 18" rims but most owners ditch those after they've bought it and replace rims and rubber. There's a bigger selection of 'bigger tires' that can go on 17" (and smaller) rims than there are of 'bigger tires' that can go on 18" rims. Basically, you get more options for an aggressive, off-road look without a suspension lift with the smaller rims. That's why a helluva lot of unimaginative Ranger owner/operators in LOS have BF Goodrich's on black, 15" rims. Some go up to 20" rims shod with low-profile rubbers rather than the hiked-up, faux off-road look. I think the soon-to-be released pseudo-Raptor would look good with 20" rims from the Everest and stock rubber... but that's just me. Back on topic, the dealer won't do a tire/rim swap on the concourse unless his brother-in-law at the local rim and tire shop has made a sweet deal. No dealer will install a lift-kit for the aforementioned warranty issues but if you don't care about the warranty, the dealer can probably refer you to a shop that will do the business. Standard dealership freebies are interior mats, window tint, plastic side-window wind deflector garbage, rubbish scuff-plates for the door sills, maybe a plastic rear bed-liner (the WT has that as standard) and a tank of diesel. The OEM accessories can vary too and not all are in the brochure. If the dealership has a display cabinet of accessories, you may be able to get a deal on something handy like a spare wheel lock rather than a snorkel. They may also offer 12 months of free, first-class insurance. If you are lucky and you already have insurance coverage with the same company, it makes the eventual renewal a lot easier; otherwise you still need to shop around for a better deal 12 months later. If I can get a better deal (lower premium) with an existing insurer, I tell the dealership to take the free insurance carrot away and offer something worthwhile... like cash discount but only got that once. If buying on finance, the finance company will typically have an opinion on how any owner-provided insurance coverage compares with their preferred carrier. Cash is king of course. Good luck.
