MSRP 68,530
Paid 54,719 including the 219 doc fee
Utilized 2750 in rebates, 1k ram trucks mailer, and $500 for FCA incentives. Will file for the Allstate $250.
Laramie would have been about 48k, but who knows if and when I ever would’ve been able to get one with advanced safety. The southwest package really is a great deal.
Spectacular deal!

Awesome deal. Congrats. I think for a build this might be the highest % off I've seen on a limited.
Thanks man. Takes some of the sting away from what could have been. I scrolled through some texts from a few months ago where I told dealers in TX with their BS $1500 nitrogen tire fees to pound sand. Net price was still less.....because you could get a Laramie. Bottom line, in three months I’ll have upgraded from a 2001 F250. I’ve waited a long time!

Incentive numbers down considerably. Looks like 0% is still available though. At the beginning of march it took a couple days before things were right though. Hope the same thing happens. Maybe they're taking them up for April so it looks good for Memorial Day???? It's a seller's market, oh boy.

I'm starting to wonder what the street value is for my truck, which was built in Nov and bought at the end of January. I have the full technology group and advanced safety group.

I can tell you that there are ABSOLUTELY blind spots! The Laramie is HUGE. While it is one owner's impression that the mirrors are fine, I'd counter that it depends incredibly on your state of mind, traffic situation, and intent whether or not you locate any drivers around you. I have the trailer mirrors which are large and they have the convex blindspot mirrors outboard, but they're easy to overlook, especially on the passenger side. For whatever reason, the primary mirror on the right side reflects objects larger or somehow lacking the true position vs. reality. And that mirror is obviously the bigger one. Unless you train yourself that, hey, I now have both the standard and the convex blindspot mirrors on both sides, your instinct is to simply focus on the standard mirror. And you normally move casually in traffic, you can't do that with this truck. You have to be aggressively proactive, due to its size. Honestly, the little yellow triangles lighting up to say someone is there can be overlooked as well.

Every tool is going to help, and none should be dismissed. Lives are at stake.
It’s weird. 30+ years ago when I bought my first new car we had a manual tranny, manual windows, manual locks and no radio being all we could afford. Once we got my wife’s Honda Pilot with the lane keep, blind spot and cross traffic I will never go back. I grew up backing 30’ long, 8’ wide trailers into pole barns with 6” on either side. Mirrors work. But in traffic or a parking lot with other people the technology might save me a dent or ding on my 70k truck? Yeah. I’m going to take every advantage I can.

Appears the incentives are indeed out as the expiration date is 5/3

I’m with you on Mark Dodge! I emailed Aaron and told him I got his contact from 5thGenRam forum and heard he was the man for good deals on new Ram orders. He made the process painless from communication to negotiation to ordering. Now my truck hasn’t been delivered yet so I guess things could still go south but so far, so good!
This is pretty close to what I’m looking at getting but the Limited rebates aren’t that great for March. Do you mind if I ask what you paid?

For me personally Minimum on a limited would be $10K off from MSRP. Then Keep cutting the fat Until its ready to put on the grill. So far on all three of my cars. 2-trucks and 1 minivan. I was able to get 20%+ off MSRP on each one.
How are you getting such a large % off? The rebates are only about 3%. You’re convincing the dealership to take off another 17% of strictly dealer discounts? I guess my local dealerships just like to play hard ball.

This about the same as percentage off MSRP that I worked out on on my 2021 Limited. However, I also took the 0% for 72 months instead of the full rebate offered on the limited ($500 with 0% or $1,500). The 0% incentive is worth about $4K in my scenario so it worked out better than taking $1,500.
Where did you order this one from? I’m looking for one very close to this? I think I’m gonna have to build

He’s really great - I hope I’m not making a mistake by not go along today....he told me similar that incentives will be worse next month....it’s just hard to stomach a $60k+ purchase
What dealership is Ginsburg at? Might need to call him

Ok really dumb question - is the cash allowance offered by Ram dependent on the zip code of the dealer or your residence? Appears to be a $1000 difference between my house and Lake Charles (LA)
Everything is based on your home zip code.

Looks like the BigHorn/LoneStar incentives have been lowered to $1500 total rebate plus 0% for 72mo.

Koons wanted to double dip me with destination with my Pacifica quote. I never called them out on it. Just left a bad taste and looked elsewhere.
Same - argued with them for a minute and then realized I was wasting my time. They claim their online "WOW price" doesn't include destination :rolleyes:
