Price negotiated from MSRP

Thanks, for me white was a must, and I was teetering on the Laramie or a Rebel, but I like the tech of the Laramie and so I leveled my Laramie and threw 35 inch KO2's on it.

What am I doing wrong. Every time I go to a dealer. I cant even get them into the 40k range. It's like 51k and some as low as 50k. Maybe it's a SoCal thing? But if I could have gotten to this price point, I'd already have mine. To be fair, my build usually starts Msrp around 58k-ish
I leased it.
We (wife and I) view car shopping as a sport/hunting. And it's open season every 36 monthsI would like to say and think we do pretty good on our deals.
I would be interested to see. Even if you trade often you are almost always money ahead purchasing the vehicles.
OH...I'm not saying leasing is better financially.
There are certainly various reasons why you would lease
- sometimes it's cheaper
- get a nicer car for the monthly rate vs financing
- ability to change cars frequently
- always have a new car
- not worry about major car issues down the line
As far as my deal, it's a fully loaded limited (everything except 4x4) for $659 taxes in, with $1,500 due at signing (first month, tag, etc).

I negotiate over email or text message having never walked into the dealership. If the dealership wants the sale they'll bite. If not, try another dealer.
Are you in cali too or is this just general info? I'm game to send emails out.

I'm in Colorado, but no reason you can't negotiate anywhere (or anything) like this. Check out truecar.com as well to see what prices people are paying locally.

That's surprising. Can't sell trucks if they don't get back to you.

Spends too much time on here
I had 2 dealers that I had visited and was in contact via phone and email not respond back when I asked via email for their best price on a build. Selling enough trucks or not worth the delership's time and effort????
Lazy and/or ignorant as to the manner in which people are wanting to do business, which is mostly online and not in person. My time is important to me... I'm not wasting hours on end driving from dealer to dealer to spend hours at each place dithering over price.
On 10/11 I sent out 33 emails (yeah, I know, probably a bit much) and only 15 responded, out of those only 1 sent me what I asked for... I sent a clarification to 14 dealers; only two more replied with what I asked. Two basically refused to negotiate over email. Apparently there are enough people willing to walk into a dealer and pay way too much for a vehicle.
Today I'm going to the dealer who actually replied correctly the first time and offered a decent deal...hopefully I'll be going home with a new truck.
Could you PM me that email. So I know what you are saying to get the best deal?Lazy and/or ignorant as to the manner in which people are wanting to do business, which is mostly online and not in person.

Same here. But from looking around Cali dealers don't actually seem to have many actually in stock. I checked out the "Largest Ram dealership in Cali" and was pretty shocked at how limited their supply was. Cali dealers also don't seem to be listing much more than MSRP - Rebates on their websites, whereas other states dealerships seem to have no problem listing "Dealer Discount" right up front on their inventory.

That looks to be about 1% under invoice plus incentives... there are dealers that will do 7% below invoice plus incentives on factory orders, which would be about $3,500 cheaper than what you're showing.

I used the Costco auto buying program..... though USAA, AAA , and my credit union have programs too, I contacted the dealer contact Costco sent me and told him I have the other programs as well and which was the best price..... though I don't pick it up til Friday and something might change so far the Costco price is the lowest.... then get to add the various rebates to that below invoice starting point. I will post numbers when its done but so far it looks like it should be about 10-11k below MSRP with rebates thrown in....
You talking about the one in lancaster? The had a bunch a month or two ago. I did a post in it. Like 20 Laramie, 30+ big horns, 15 rebels, 2 Longhorns and sadly only 1 limited maybe 2. That was just the side I was on. I saw some more on the other side but I was getting sunburned in the high desert. But they were no haggle at all 59k laramie to 51k, $500 off the rebel which amazes me and like 4k off the longhorn. Dont remember the big horn is it's my fallback option. Still the goal is longhorn with cattle/black interior but a Laramie sport is still a dream machine.
