    Price negotiated from MSRP

    When you buy a new car and trade in your old car, the amount of sales tax you pay depends on state and local sales tax rates and whether the taxable purchase price is figured before or after you subtract your trade-in allowance. In most states, you will pay the sales tax on the value of your new...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Paying MSRP is outrageous. I would say anyone paying invoice, much less MSRP, is getting ripped off. Anyone can get 1% off invoice, before incentives/rebates with no negotiation needed. A good deal is 5%-7.5% off invoice. At one time paying invoice was a good deal. That time has long since...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Employee Pricing is 5% off invoice plus $200 before incentives/rebates. This is a good deal for most people but, as members of this forum, we know that we can usually do better. Phillip and Aaron are providing 6%-7.5% off invoice. The other volume dealers talked about here are offering almost...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what the Affiliate Pricing (Tread Lightly) discount is and is not. A $100 Tread Lightly membership get you access to Affiliate Pricing. Affiliate Pricing allows you to buy a vehicle at 1% below invoice plus $75. It is not a discount off a negotiated...

    How'd I do on my order?

    You are under no obligation to take delivery. They are under no obligation to sell you the vehicle at a good price either. You can only use the incentives at time of order if your dealer filled out the appropriate paperwork. None of this means you can't get a great deal, You just don't have...

    How'd I do on my order?

    You never factory order a vehicle without a final negotiated price. It may not include incentives/rebates if your dealer is to lazy to lock them in. The negotiation is for the discount the dealer is offering you. A very good price would be EP or less before rebates and incentives. The EP price...

    How'd I do on my order?

    The policy does not vary from state to state. The dealership must fill out the paperwork and some are just lazy. No one likes extra work but some are willing to do it to make a sale. Check out this thread for the details...

    How'd I do on my order?

    EP is 5% below invoice plus $200 before rebates and incentives. Those of us getting very good deals are in the 5% to 7% range without the EP program. FFP is 1% below invoice plus $75 before rebates and incentives. Anyone can get this price. Details are in the post listed in my signature.

    Get the Best Price on a Factory Extended Warranty

    The many, many responses I have had from that email address the last year or so have been from Dylan, Johnny, and Sam. No Bob or Robert. Maybe Bob has learned all my email addresses and always passes me off. :)

    How'd I do on my order?

    A very good price would be EP or less before rebates and incentives. The EP price is listed on the invoice you provided. Full price would be FFP before rebates and incentives.

    Get the Best Price on a Factory Extended Warranty

    I just recently used my Mopar Service contract, purchased from Zeigler, on a 2014 Ram 1500. The Air Suspension needed some work and the $1600 in repairs was covered by the warranty. I dropped the truck off at the dealership. They called and informed me of diagnosis and that it was covered by my...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    A mechanic I once knew offered this advice. "If you don't want your sunroof to leak, never open it. Just enjoy the view" That being said, I have the panoramic sunroof and enjoy it. I also have had a lot of compliments on it. My 2014 Ram 1500 sunroof has also never leaked.
