That's a killer deal man. I'd say that's pretty solid even under "normal" industry/economy standards.
Just play around with the Canadian build site … it’s updated …
Sounds like they gave you EP pricing. My Rebel MSRP was 69.7k and my EP is $62.2k.
Most definitely. From what I gathered doing general research on what constitutes a "good deal", invoice pricing really is the MOST anyone should pay for a vehicle. Invoice means different things with different manufacturers. Not everyone has true employee pricing and a lot of times EP is just invoice, and even with invoice pricing there is hold back built in that the dealer makes as profit that doesn't include dealer bonuses for the dealership from the manufacturer.
not in the last 14 seconds!
Agreed. I will never pay more than invoice for a vehicle ever again, now that I know the realities behind this stuff.
I'm blessed to be in a position to pay cash and I felt obligated to make sure I was getting the best price possible. I did a ton of research, and luckily someone else on another forum redirected me to this thread. You might still come out on top if you cancel your order, lose the deposit and order again through MD or another volume dealership. I'm looking at my POC right now and the difference between 1% below invoice and my pricing (with the extra $500 off) is $3150.66. I'll spend about $400 on a flight and I'm budgeting $100 on a tank of gas so I'm saving over $2600 by doing a fly and drive (it's about 8 hours home) over dealing with a local dealership, which none of I'm confident would actually honor that affiliate discount in the end...unfortunately.
If for some reason I need a nap since all the flights out of Birmingham put me at MD in the early afternoon at the earliest, well, that's what Wal-Mart parking lots are for
Ram has been treating us pretty well all things considered. Someone else said it but especially if you're getting a Limited (or Longhorn, or fully a loaded Rebel or Laramie even), it's really a full luxury-level sedan/SUV with a pickup bed sticking out the back of it (and a much more satisfying powertrain than the majority of those), and for less money than most of those equivalent vehicles. Now let's hope the quality/longevity is there (also something they've been doing better with in recent years).
depends on where you're at vs where your truck is being assembled vs where other trucks are going and which dealer you bought your truck through. I had my truck 3 days after it was built. I thought I was going to be waiting 2-3 weeks.
Please let that be the case lol.
I guess it was closer to about 5% when I looked at the base stripped down model for a Ram 1500. But the BMW I was pricing out wasn't a base model, it was something in the M line that costs new more than my 2022 well optioned limited. I guess I just would have expected the BMW to be closer to the 10% mark if that is where Ram was.
I wonder what kinda of deal you could get at Jim Riehl's Chrysler Jeep 2 1/2 mile's down the street from SHAP ? At least save the 1,600 shipping cost.SHAP is still "Busy as ever" this morning according to google.
Stellantis Sterling Heights Assembly Plant · 38111 Van Dyke Ave, Sterling Heights, MI 48312

Nope, tried it lol
The shipping cost is for the parts to get to the plant. Not delivery of the truck to the dealer.
This is not true. The inbound freight is considered in the cost of the vehicle. The destination charge is the cost to go from the plant to the dealer. It is one cost regardless of location so us in Michigan lose out, but those in Washington win.
That's what I always thought, they just average out the cost.
