    Used Ram prices up 28.8% from last year

    I just tried my hand at doing a trade. I bought a 20 1500 Laramie 4WD in April 20 for $42,750, which was off from the MSRP of $56,xxx. (A good buy at the height of Covid concern). My trade offer was $52k if I bought something else from the same dealer. I attempted a 21 Power Wagon ($67k)...

    Oil change interval on new 2020 ram 1500 5.7

    We'd probably have a better chance of agreeing on abortion rights than oil change intervals! The mindset for owners has to be different based on your intentions for long term ownership (or not). Bad oil habits likely won't reveal themselves until 200+k miles. The claims of "I changed my oil...

    Quality Control Concerns?

    If you read forums and FB groups looking for issues you'll certainly find them there. Ram has sold 740,000+ DT trucks to this point and a vast majority of them are 100% reliable. The members of forums/groups represent less than 1% of total owners and many of them join to complain. GM or Ford...

    Outrageous "Dealer Option"

    The top numbers are switched as well, retail $37,xxx. our price $39,xxx. "Total savings" shows minus..... Nitrogen is the most ridiculous marketing gimmick. I get the science behind it, but none of us are driving formula 1 cars. There's no way that dealer tech is airing down all of the tires...

    Employee Pricing and 0% for 84 months financing

    This is a simple math problem. We can't answer what kind of loan rate you'd get from your local bank, dealer financing etc. But get pre-approved for the loan term you want and do the math on how much interest you'd pay over the life of the loan. (loan calculator app). Then figure out what the...

    Looking at this truck, good deal?

    In order to get ALL of the incentives you will likely need to finance with Chrysler Capital (depending on current offers and region). When I bought there was a $2,000 cash incentive if you used Chrysler Capital. The dealer is telling you to keep the loan for 90 days in order for them to make...

    Not thrilled with detailing by the dealer

    I find it comical when people use the word detail and dealership in the same sentence. They like to use that term but all you're getting is a quick car wash, vac and wipe down with the same rag that's touched every other vehicle that day. When I bought my truck I specifically told them not to...

    Extended Warranty Outside of State

    If I understand what you're asking, you live in FL and want to purchase the warranty from one of the online vendors such as Chrysler Factory Plans? The problem you're running into is for some reason they quote only MSRP to FL residents. If you can get someone to sell you the warranty online...

    Can you please offer some advice on my upcoming Rebel purchase?

    I'm not sure what's the point of arguing over financing when it's a simple math problem for each individual. OP, go to your local credit union and get pre-approved (if you have good credit you can just look up the current rates), then you have a baseline to go from. Download a loan calculator...

    Did my own ceramic coating

    Yes, C250-the orange stuff! (I believe the 5th character denotes the size of the container). I'd recommend getting the gallon jug as it's much more cost effective and use your own spray bottle.

    Did my own ceramic coating

    I've done 100+ applications of ceramic for customers, but I always enjoy doing my own vehicles. I did my 20 Patriot Blue over the long weekend with CSL and Exov4. I strip washed, iron-x, clay (mitt) , polished with M205 and did the coating. I also coated the windows. My truck only has 300...

    Pressure washer & Foam Cannon

    I'd recommend you guys take a look at the Obsessed Garage website and You tube channel. There's extensive reviews and testing for automotive pressure washers. I've had a Kranzle for about a year for automotive washing. (I'm a detailer so I do a lot of washes).

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Cooper in Shawnee. Stanley actually has a red Laramie that has a better percentage discount but as noted I liked the Blue (& it was better equipped).

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Just purchased a 2020 Laramie 4WD, Patriot Blue in the OKC area. MSRP $56,925, paid $42,875. There were $7,000 in rebates from FCA and the rest dealer discount. I got a $500 military rebate from FCA but it was negated by the dealer $499 doc fee. This final price was posted on the dealer’s...
