How to Get the Best Price on Your New Ram

They can be used in conjunction.
I negotiated an out of the door price with several dealers while I was trying to attain the EP control number. Most honest dealers will not have an issue. I ended up going through Roy @ Meador for a no bs deal. It worked out for all parties as they sold my 2016 within 2 weeks of me upgrading.

What's a control number?
He is referring to the Employee Pricing control number (EP).

Hard to beat their pricing and customer service.

$1500-2250 rebates are pretty pitiful now. Even FFP and EP are not giving as big of discounts.....

Right now the situation with dealers not getting new inventory, they aren’t willing to give you invoice or employee pricing on new stuff. They are holding out for less informed people so they can get over MSRP.
That puts us folks in a bind because they have other folks they can sucker in. Only the dealers that you have relationships with might be able to work something out with getting less than msrp.
If the dealer won’t give you invoice or employee pricing for anything less than msrp…you can put a guestimate invoice price of roughly 6% under MSRP depending on how many options are on it.
Right now it, unless you know a dealer and the managers, they are holding out new inventory for the highest possible bidders, and we just have to wait until new inventory becomes available.

Yesterday, the local RAM dealer had ALL the Ram's, and Jeep's marked up $4995 ***MARKET ADJUSTMENT***.
they had about 12 RAMS and 12 Jeeps of Varying models. they said they were not expecting anymore.
And yes, if you know the managing partner, owner, or sales manager, and have did business there before, you might get that waived.
Several manufacturer's have halted discount programs, such as X-PLAN (ford), GMPP (GM/CHEVY), and Affiliate Awards(FCA/RAM). they still CAN and still get reimbursed, but its an option for the dealer NOT to honor it.

I agree, a relationship would be handy. I never bought a car from the dealership I ordered my truck from.
I did get 7 Dodge Caravans and current a Chrysler Pacifica from them and 5 of those through this fleet manager.
So he put through the affiliate pricing 2 weeks after I put the order with him and any incentives at delivery. I would not know about any of this if it was not for google finding this forum and stumbling on to the msrp thread and reading from the beginning to end every post was useful, it being probably the longest thread on the forum.
Does anybody think I could get the loyalty discount for having all the lease company fleet leases?

Dealer would have to pull an incentive sheet and see if it appeared either under the Vin# of what you are buying or to pull your name and zip code.

Also, semi/hi volume dealers usually have FCA coupons worth $250 each they can shell amount (if they have any left). Its like a rebate.

Thanks, I will see what Gabe has to say.
I received one of those, I requested another brochure with a 2 to 3 month time frame this time since I probably will not be seeing the truck until August. Later

Wow, that's utterly insane! I'm ordering my 2022 later this morning and I'm more than happy with the pricing I'm getting that is under EP.
Yeah, those discounts aren't as high as they have been in the past, but the reasons why are legitimate. Marking up what's on the lot as high as I've seen isn't.

My personal best guestimate here is roughly between. 5-8% off of MSRP.
Please keep in mind, it comes down to options and supply/demand . Right now, demand is high and supply is low, so a dealer can literally give you that info, bit they won't offer you that info.
There is a sucker out there that will pay MSRP + and that is what the dealer is waiting for, and would screw us. They would rather hold on to the truck and wait for someone else.

My build is officially in the queue and apparently could be here as early as the end of August. I guess we'll see!
