When you buy/register a cae in NJ, they charge you for your registration for 4 or 5 years upfront. That is also how long your inspection sticker is good for

Makes sense, thanks!

Yup it’s wild. Sandi told me 15-25 wks++. She said it’s been “all over the place”. I tried to switch the E locker with the anti slip 1 hour after the order was processed but Ram had already accepted it. I could have reordered but it was a crap shoot when that was gonna get picked up. Since I’d sold my daily driver I wasn’t really mad and kept the E locker. I’ve had shoes and suits take longer from order to delivery haha. Of course it put me in a pickle with my work schedule. I was looking forward to visiting Louisiana but looks like that’ll have to wait now.

Sandi told me about the same, it was almost 10 months! it does seem like they are pushing them out faster these days! BTW i would wait again, I love the truck rides better than a Caddy

My former daily was a ‘19 Mercedes E63. So very different than the Ram but when I drove this truck I loved it. The interior is gorgeous and the practicality for car seats and strollers and whatever else I wanna put in the bed won me over. I get now why trucks are so popular in this country. It only took me 38 years haha. I’m just glad I found the forum before plopping sticker locally.

Now I’m making my way through this very thread to kill the time. I’m about halfway through. It hurts how much the ‘22 prices went up for a single model year but no point crying over spilt milk.

Just wait until the 2023 prices come out. Most brands are upping each trim level 1-5k so far for vehicles generally from what I've seen. I'm sure full size trucks will be just as bad if not worse.

Let’s see how long this lasts. I read something about nationwide default rate on mortgages being up 550% in 12 months. Real estate is nuts where we live. Some track builders are using a lottery system for customers. Nuts.

Something’s gotta give.

Market will crash. Just a matter of time and how long will it take and how severe. Will it be gradual or a sudden drop. Houses are insane right now. I don't see the jobs to support them either.

I thought it was "standard operating procedure" for any dealer to always give a full tank of gas on sale of a new vehicle. I've only done two brand new vehicle purchases in the past ( one in '07 and one in '15 ) and in each case they fully gassed up the vehicle before we drove off.
I noticed on the POC it has a line item for "5 additional gallons of gas" and I asked Renae about that and she said, if I recall correctly, that's what the factory send and that they put an additional $30 worth into it. With their prices and service being so awesome I hadn't the heart to push the point, but in the back of my mind I was thinking "man, that's a bit lame" ! Although... if they filled every 33 gallon tank that left their lot, that would add up for them I guess !

Just following up on my own post from a few months back : when I got my vehicle shipped from MD, a couple weeks ago now, it actually came with a FULL tank of diesel. So kudo's to MD for doing that, especially with diesel off the charts expensive these days.

I have easily bought over 60 new cars since 1985. This Ram, my second Ram (not purchased from Mark Dodge), is the first one that did not come with a full tank of gas. I thought the guy was kidding when he said they only put in $40 of gas in their New Truck deliveries.

I ordered from Mark Dodge, shipped to NY. No Gas. Not end of world and didn't even mention to Aaron. Saved enough vs local pricing even with shipping that I didn't mind filling her up myself.

Yeah I was thinking the ram 1500 would
be good for families but man, the width of this thing doesn’t leave a lot space to get the kids out. I might have to go team minivan when the kid arrives. That, plus every parking spot here seemingly has a bush behind it so my truck doesn’t fit in the stall lol.

That's like $200 off a $500 upgrade. Solid deal, hopefully they keep doing it.

The 360 camera makes parking that boat much easier.

I wish that was an option on the Big Horn.

Yeah I don’t get why they restrict certain options. Look at Porsche. You can have any option you want a la carte on any trim you’re getting. You just have to pay for it.

60 new cars in 37 yrs???

 

[cevans6318]

As with everything else in America, you pay more and get less, guess that applies to vehicles now as well. Pay $60k and up, get a half *** car wash And $40 gas.

 

[MidnightExpre$$]

Yes sir.
I rotate out if them pretty quickly. I have kept a few for long periods though. Kept a miata for 5 years, an Eldorado for 4 yrs, a corvette for 4 years, a vw tiguan for 4, and the last ram for 8. Usually have a rotation of about 5 vehicles at the house.

My truck is getting delivered today. 106 days. My driver called and is running 3 hours late. 3hours > 106 days.

Mine has left the factory on the way to MD. I’m assuming bill have it in Minnesota by the end of the month. I’m locked in to the 0% for 48 months and I see a bunch of incentives but they’re only good through the 5th. We will see what happens when I pay for it.
