Hey Everyone. My name is Andy. I'm from Quarantined, NJ.
Bought my first truck after about 4 months of looking. I originally was set on an F-150 but after test driving my Bighorn with the Hemi I quickly changed my mind. I was working from home due to the COVID precautions and decided to go for a ride. During my drive, I was contacted by the local dealership showing interest in trading for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I told them that I wasn't looking to make a move that morning but if I was going to consider a Ram it would have to be a black night edition. This was two days before NJ closed all non-essential business so they were looking to get any deals done. Bottom line, I was the only one in the dealership and they let me take the truck home to show the wife. Later that day, they gave me their initial offer which was about $100 over what I was willing to spend. I said I would return the truck and appreciated the offer but by the time I got back to the dealership they came down to my price range and threw in the spray in bed and tri-fold cover. I was hooked. The Hemi was an added bonus but the heated seats and the 8 inch uconnect was the icing on the cake. I know the dealership can mess with the numbers but they took my jeep with at least 3k of negative equity and added what looks to be about 14k of incentives to get the deal done. I'm sure they made out but I'm pretty happy, especially since Ford couldn't come close to this deal. By the way, I was in and out of the finance department within 20 minutes. It took longer for them to detail the truck!
Anyway, I've already tinted the front window and ordered the APS Drop Steps. Then will add a drop in K&N filter soon after. Already submitted the BonusDrive app!
Looking forward to reading more on this site.
