To be more precise, I'm at 17.5% (12,300) off MSRP (71,800). Worked 5 different dealers to obtain. Others not even in ball park only averaging 7k under MSRP.
I'm wondering if what I paid is in-line, more or less than average. Wealth of information here to digest.

Given the wealth of information in this thread, your deal seems in-line with others. Some did better, some did worse.

Anyone who's dealt with Mark Dodge - it says Home Delivery Included on most of their stuff, but I'm not finding what the "catch" is on that? Surely they're not going to ship a vehicle a couple thousand miles away for free.

Okay, I pulled the plug. Mentioned you and Silent Bob. Image below is the truck I want. Limited 6’4” bed. I will let you know the results of the emails I sent. Anyone’s thought on good vs excellent price? Hope blooms eternal... The New Guy
5% to 7% under invoice before incentives/rebates and government required taxes and fees is what you want.

Ahhh... I see it all the way at the bottom now. Couldn't find the asterix. Thank you.

Historically speaking, does February often have these types of deals and rebates? I had planned on aiming for end of 2021 for my purchase, but with these deals, might just aim for my birthday in February of 2022.

17.5% off is excellent on a Limited or Laramie right now less so on a Big Horn.

A total of 17-18% off on a limited is about right. Theres been some people that have found a 20% here and there but that's a good deal on a limited

Many people said someone told them this is true. Just as many said the opposite. The fact that we have the actual program name and rules now makes it an almost certainty.


I called the FCA incentive hotline. Asked if the 0 for 84 has customer sold protection and they told me yes. I told her how dealerships have told me they can’t do that. She said if they do tell them to call us because you can

Its in this thread, theres a phone number too

I have seen those and others saying the same thing and just as many saying you can not lock in. I have the incentives phone number in my truck buying post. I have called it many times and information can be different depending on who you talk to. Many very knowledgeable people here have said you can't lock in incentives. I personally have had dealers tell me you can't lock in incentives. We now have a program name and a sheet listing the rules to supply to your dealer to get him to lock in your incentives.

I know that by reading this thread you came to the conclusion that you can lock in incentives. It seems that a good percentage of people did the same and came up with a different conclusion. I hope the information I and others have added will clear up any confusion.

Here's my purchase. MSRP 71,800. Excluding tax I'm at 60,000. No zero financing. I've seen the proclaimed deals others have posted. I'm good with my deal as it took some time and effort to obtain.
I’d be fine with that as well. You forget about the price paid as long as the quality is there.

Hey guys. Relatively new here but Ive been shopping lease deals at several dealers around the west coast and near AZ. Best Ive received was around presidents day but not near what Im seeing here.

Do these rates translate to leases at all? Im considering building as my current lease is up in about 90 days and these discounts off MSRP would be perfect.

Appreciate all the help and look forward to be a new Ram owner. Shopping Laramie, Night, Pano, ORG.

For you "fly and drive" folks, this tidbit might be helpful: I'm about 1200 miles away from Mark Dodge, and Aaron has suggested it would be between $600-$900 to ship something. Just incase you don't want to dump 1k miles on your new $50k toy the first day you own it.

After some very enduring shopping of truck brands, it's fairly obvious to me the quality per dollar. Ram appears a tier above the rest. Without question the mercedes design is apparent with-in the interior build. Air (matic) suspension and control arms also mercedes inspired. Realizing this is the MSRP forum, consideration of quality per dollar is a factor.

With March just a few days away, anyone have any insight into what possible incentives will be available? I have an order on the way, but not sure if it will be here prior to the end of the month.

Check out this link on leasing. Depending on how familiar you are with leasing it might take a few reads and referencing back over time.


There is also this.
