@shawngorham Last couple I picked up in the 10-20k mile range. Find someone who has only driven it to Starbucks. ;) If you do go new, you can't buy on the West Coast. Have to go through out of state dealers that are willing to discount. There are Facebook Raptor groups you can find them in.
@shawngorham Best daily out there. Load it up with bikes and skis for the whole family. On Raptor number four. Definitely deals to be had vs 6 months ago—R is still tough though.
@shawngorham Exactly. Score a team deal or discount. Run it for a year or two keeping it nice then sell. You can mix in Crux or another frame and play the new release timing if you're willing to swap back and forth.
@shawngorham Hehehe. I think the optimal strategy is to only run these for a year or two. Buy current model as soon as it's on sale. Resale is generally excellent on clean previous year models, but they fall off fast after that. Few thousand a year to always be riding the latest and greatest.
