Happy Incentive Day!

[habu987]

I would have no complaints if $1,500 became $4,500...or even $2,500!

I'm hoping the $1500 incentive hits at least $3000. If it does, and my truck comes in during the incentive period, I've got a great shot at walking out the door under $35k counting my trade in!

Who is getting pumped up for Incentive Day? I know I am not the only one.

Yup, mine should be here this week. Sure would be nice to see a few more $'s come off the price.

Dealer buddy just told me he heard new incentives coming Tuesday and they are expected to increase them. He works at the Ft. Myers Ram store.

Why not Monday the 1st I wonder?

Hey @BobbiBigWheels or @JRS200x any idea if October incentives will be identified tomorrow, or whether they'll be delayed? I counted on hearing them on the 1st, and my dealer is pushing hard to close tomorrow to include the sale in his end of month numbers (somehow?).

I don’t want to buy until I know what the October incentives are. Does he lose a lot if we delay a day? (Might you have time in the morning to post the October Laramie incentives here, for zip 98249? )

Pretty sure current incentives are good through October 1, and new incentives for October would begin on October 2.

Ding ding ding.

A month cannot end on a weekend, so Monday is "month end", with Tuesday beginning new rebates.

The Ding Ding Ding was hilarious.

I was supposed to pick up my truck today, but he wants me to wait until tomorrow for the October rebates to hit. He said he was told they will be better than Aug/Sept ones. Hope he's right!

 

[RamMeToo]

I was told the same... but made me wonder if they already hit September sales goal (or know they aren't gonna hit it) and are pushing us into the next month. Should I be more trusting?

My truck has been 20 miles away from me all weekend. Thinking there is a possibility I could get a call today. Hoping zero % for 36 sticks around AND the $1500 cash back improves tomorrow. Interesting that dealers are suggesting to hold off a day from delivery.

BTW, fantastic username.

So, who's gonna be up at midnight to be the first to see the new incentives? lol

HA! I stayed up for the August to September changes (I think it was 9/4?) and recall things not being posted/updated at least until the business day started ... or maybe even the following day.

Be careful gents.

We get exactly 0 communication preemptively. FCA wants you to sell as many vehicles in a month as you can, as they report their sales on a monthly basis. Helping a dealer "Sandbag" deals into the next month has no benefit for the corporation, and does not happen.

If the rebates worsen, and the appropriate documents are not dated correctly, you could be in a pickle.

Thank you for commenting and reminding us that everyone involved is speculating.
My dealer text me an hour ago and said my truck is at the dealer. She asked if I wanted to pick up tonight so I was debating what to do. I would be really bummed if it cost me $500 or whatever to have it a day early, but it really seems like anyone who says anything is only guessing with no knowledge.

LOL me too. Yep the website takes time to update, so try to get some sleep tonight (won’t stop me from wigging out about it all evening of course).

My salesperson has honestly been pushing me to pickup asap. I am hoping October gets better, but additionally he hasn’t resolved some other concerns so this delay is necessary regardless.

 

[BostonBlueRam]

I am GUESSING October has to be better incentives! Either way I have no choice but to wait

 

[YoAdrian]

Morning everybody. Website only has the BigHorn updated so far, looks about the same? Waiting for Laramie to pop up...

FYI - because I didn't realize this ... You cannot take both the financing deal and the cash rebate (ie 0% for 36mo, and $1500 in my case for the limited)

I picked up my Limited last night and took the $1500 rebate. I am hoping that I didn't miss out on something better by not waiting a day.
