The price he has is not an order. It’s on a current in stock unit. Apples and oranges…

You are getting $3k off an in stock ready for delivery Ram 2500 limited. That is a unit that will be very difficult to get back into stock. Every dealership in the nation would hit you at MSRP+ and likely have many BS Addendums to boot. As absolutely crazy as it is, this is a ‘Good Deal’… I...

It’s always best to shop your trade. Seek offers from Carvana, CarMax, etc. compare the offer that Mark CDJR is giving and be sure to factor in whatever tax benefits you might receive from your state for trading in your truck vs. selling outright, and any personal convenience advantage.

People make mistakes. It was clearly defined to me how sold order protection worked by Aaron at Mark CDJR. I was trying to work every angle when putting the order together.

As far as I know, That is actually correct. Sold order protection requires all incentives to be locked in at order. You cannot add incentives at delivery unless you take the current incentives. In normal times you might very well score better incentives when the vehicle is delivered. Not so much...

I completely understand that people are going to buy in this insane market. I get that life goes on and buying a new Truck is often something that cannot wait, or the new truck fever grabs ahold of you and needs to be satisfied. Been there! But please recognize that you are putting yourself at...

Cliff, let me give you a more recent comparison. 2004 I was in the market for a Mustang. The Cobra MSRP was UNDER $35,000. I ultimately bought a new Mach-1 with an MSRP of $30k for $24,399. What is the cost of a similar package on a Mustang today? $70k+ for anything remotely interesting. That is...

No. The cost of vehicles has exploded. Sure, content and features are far beyond what was imaginable back then, but most people were able to purchase new cars with sub 48mo financing. 36 months was very common. 60-72-84mo financing is a relatively new phenomenon. Affordability is not a thing...

How about a brand new Mustang LX notch 5.0 5speed for under $10k. It wasn’t hard to do in the 80s. And yes, loaded 85’ Silverado Short wides were an easy deal to obtain at 10k. There was never a better looking truck than a new Red/White Silverado Short bed…. They were crap, but damn… New, they...

That’s exactly what I am talking about. The dealership was open and direct with you and you saw enough value in that to agree to the deal. EASY! Everyone wins! l am a very tough negotiator, if the salesman comes at me totally on script repeating word tracks that I know by heart myself, it’s...

I have said so many times. Deal honestly, openly, and treat your customers with respect. Someone calls, or emails, asking for price or information? GIVE THEM THE PRICE!! People will THROW money at you. The dealership model absolutely sucks. It’s so damn easy to at least PRETEND to give a sh!t.

The MSRPs will never stop staggering my common sense… But then I’m of an age that loaded short bed Silverados were 10 grand… And I couldn’t afford THAT. 😂

That’s news. Discontinuing Bonus Drive? Not surprising that they are. Damn this market is crazy bad for consumers

The simple fact that Mark CDJR is giving dealer discounting on anything is really amazing in this market. They could discount to just 5% and beat practically every Ram store in the country, but they are still going north of 10% off. It’s just crazy how hard they are working to get market share...

i am really glad you allowed Aaron to prove to you that this buying experience is truly different. There ARE many good dealerships out there. But seeing the consistency of real reviews by normal people from all over the country posting in this thread, plus MY personal experience, the fact that...

Sales people at Mark are flat rate. But not that it matters, sales associates at the vast majority of dealerships do not, and are not allowed to set price. If a salesman is properly trained the number one job is to overcome objections and justify price. As far as dealing with a salesperson at...

Your incentives will differ based on regional considerations. Some markets have 0%, others 1.9%. Some have a bit of bonus cash and small rebates, some do not.

Email again. He can be quite swamped at times.

Mark CDJR in Lake Charles, LA is the go to dealership that a lot of people on this forum are using. The sales manager, Aaron, plays no games.

This is the single worst time since 1946 to attempt to buy a vehicle. There are basically no worthwhile incentives currently on Ram trucks. The ordering process has been suspended early for 2021 stock. Dealerships have extremely limited inventory and most are not making deals. This is not a...
