I bought my Bighorn Friday. MSRP was $45,765. Negotiated price was $36k even plus tax, tags, dealer doc fee. I had them throw in the weathertech style floor mats and install rear wheelhouse liners too included in that 36k.

Black Bighorn 4x4, level 1, deluxe interior, 3.92 gear, trailer brake system, 5.7 w/o e-torque

Edit: Location is Raleigh, NC

Can someone recommend a dealer in Florida?
I'm in Florida, and I'm looking at the large RAM dealers out west. There's a dealer in Sandy Utah and I believe the largest Ram dealer in the USA is David Smith in Washington and Boise, ID (they have over 1,000 new 2019 and 2020 Ram trucks in inventory). Here's the link for David Smith RAM https://www.davesmith.com/ram.htm. They sell to every state from what I understand.

I inquired with Dave Smith about a month or so ago and their discounts were disappointing (like maybe a 3 - 4 K dealer discount on a Laramie/Limited) and for me not worth the trouble of getting it out of state. Maybe their prices have improved since then.

my local dealer is only coming down 6K from msrp..the one far away was a demo but the guy was honest with me and told me to wait for new models as there will be more incentives on them . there is not much incentive right now due to supply and demand , that should change in a month or two. that said, if i get a great deal on the one im looking at ill go for it , but im sure they wont budge more than they came down

Anyone notice that A LOT of the 2020s being delivered or on lots have the sunroof option...the two or three dealers in my area generally offered few of these especially in Big Horns. I'm wary of that options due to the added heat into the cabin and leak issues.

Depends on the dealer from i noticed. They all have their own flavors when they order them. I was worry some about this for two seconds, too. But then I remembered there’s something called ceramic tint and got it done. Plus I don’t leave the sunroof shades open typically. It’s worth the investment!

Finally made the purchse

2020 Laramie 5.7 etorque. Level 1 equipment group with Navigation upgrade. 20 inch wheels, trailer brake control. Anti-spin differential rear axle.

MSRP 56,150
Rebates 3,750
Dealer discount: ~5954
Actual Price: 46, 446.

Trade in: (2014 Camaro LS) 9,000$

After tax, title, doc fee:

40, 150$ OTD.

Really stoked with the whole transaction. The salesman went to the manager's office twice (it's a nice set up where the office door is visible from where we were sitting and you knew he actually entered). Got another 750 down the first time, 500 the second time. Said the manager said that was the best they could do after the second trip.

Went in hoping for 9,500$ out of the Camaro. They wouldn't budge. It has some minor paint defects, and KBB put it around 9500-10,500.

I did myself no favors. The specific truck has been on the website for a week or two as in-transit. I've been to the dealership a few times looking at other Laramies. I mentioned this one. It hit the lot Saturday and we were in contact. I showed up 2 hours after they opened the 2nd business day it was on the lot.

The second 500$ off he said the manager wanted to get a deal today, and that if I left and came back tomorrow, they wouldn't be able to do it. Part of me thinks they were wanting to get every last sale in before the month was out. Regardless, I've looked for about a month for a truck with similar options in this color. Being able to get it 10 minutes from the house was too nice, and I wasn't prepared to walk out.

They were also extremely transparent from the get go. The internet price didn't add in the military discounts/conquest discounts etc. I've seen a lot of different tricks to make the internet price seem low. From the price with every rebate on earth to advertising a price "but that doesn't include the 1695$ destination fee." They were able to honor the internet price and look at other options from there.

Getting confused going through the thread with US and Canadian pricing.

Is it accurate to say in Alberta, Canada its rare to pay dealer invoice/FWP and revice incentives, and very rare to get below?

Anyone have a target percentage over/under dealer invoice/FWP info Big Horn or Sport in the area these days, separate of insentives?

Mid August bought my Limited ED and loving it.
Sticker was $71300
Discount $8600
Tax $3500
Doc Fee/reg $280
Rebates $5000
OTD $61,500

Rounded numbers. I financed the minimum for that $500 and plan to pay it off.
Drove it 100 miles from the dealership to the lakehouse to show it off and indicated 30.2 mpg!

Love it!

Nice ..seems the dealers by me are playing games with the rebates...taking it off msrp like your getting a deal instead of giving a good discount first. Not many cars in inventory you think they would want to make room for 2021s

Many of the backup/alternate storage lots at the dealerships in my area are empty or close to it.

It definitely would help to at least post the area that the truck was bought.

Been looking. Supplies seem very tight. Prices make me wince.

Wtf is going on? Are they restricting shipments? The new MY isn't that much of a big deal.

When I bought mine I was looking at Big Horns and Laramies. I could get about $10K off a Big Horn and about $5K off a Laramie.

With the budget and timeline I had it came down to a loaded Big Horn or an entry-level Laramie. I like leather seats but I love option packages more. ;)
