KJRAM, Do you know how much over invoice MSRP is? Is it 3% hold back or another formula?

I usually go over to nadaguides and spec out what I want on that site; it shows both MSRP and Invoice plus available rebates and incentives in your region. Dealer holdback is 3% of MSRP so I calculate the true dealer cost to be invoice - rebates - holdback. I think a reasonable profit margin is 3% - 5% so that is the range I wil be shooting for when negotiating. (the latter I plan to do via email first).

If your including the rebates in your 3-5% discount below invoice, that is a generous discount but you are leaving a bunch of money on the table. Else your dealer is a low volume dealer. Rebates are best excluded from most negotiations because they are factory backed and paid out. But that’s a good start.

Rebates are best excluded from most negotiations because they are factory backed and paid out. But that’s a good start.
I subtract all rebates from invoice and subtract the dealer holdback, then I add 3 % or so for an in my eye reasonable profit. Example, base 4x4 Laramie has an factory invoice of $43678, MSRP of $47390 and 3K rebates according to nada guides. Holdback is 3% of MSRP, so $ 1420. So 43678-3000-1420 = 39258, which is the what the dealer cost is. Add 3% to that and you end up with a first offer of $ 40435. Some dealers charge documentation fees or other nonsense so I might subtract that as well then trying to deal with it later.

MSRPS are diff because trucks don't have the same options, I am looking at trucks on lot's or in transit, not ordering one
The MSRP from the Ram build online always seem to be less than the dealer build tool ! sometimes 3K less than the dealer build! How is this possible when doing the exact same build as online. I generally do a build online, save it , then email to myself, then forward it dealers to get competitive pricing. This way we are comparing oranges to oranges. They use their build tool and the starting Msrp is 'surprising' higher... and this obviously exaggerate their discounts... Question, Is the destination fee priced into the MSRP on the online ram build tool and the dealer is double charging for this? If you get a quote and it shows MRSP and options cost ONLY, then its a high probability they are up charging the MRSP. The POC or configuration preview quote you get prior to ordering/purchasing should have these five price structure. 1. MSRP, 2. FWP ( Invoice), 3. HB - hold back, 4. FFP- family and friend pricing, and 5. EP- employee pricing included.

You have to watch when you build online. There are 2 different prices that show up at the top, depending on whether you select buy or lease. The "buy price" is usually higher and close to, if not the same as the price from the dealer.

The prices have been increasing on trim levels and specific options which is why it’s higher at the dealer. Destination is not figured into the online builder until the summary.

$8700 off on a Rebel is pretty good, at least here there is only a $1500 on Rebel. There was a conquest rebate if you owned a competitive make truck. I ended up almost $10,000 off buying from a dealer who happens to be one of my best friends, and we do a lot of business together. Every state “negotiates” differently. I know Illinois doesn’t include transportation in their prices.

They all pay the same for them, but there is volume incentives which have been tough to hit lately.

If you aren’t in a particular hurry, tell a few dealers if they are short on their Ram number and need a deal to hit it to call and make it worth it for you
