I felt the same as you until I came across this forum and learned of Mark Dodge. Until then I hated dealing with a car salespersons/Managers!! Despised the games so I went into A$$hole mode most of he time and seemed to work! Absolutely none of the typical games with MD. At least not for me.
Yeah reading through these countless pages of everybody’s dealings with MD seems like they are truly a decent honest dealer, which is hard to find. Almost wish I would’ve found this thread before I bought my 21 ram back in August.
Did you ask them if they take cash? I don’t know why a dealer wouldn’t?
Solved, we will go to branch to see the limit for wire
I don't think your information is correct at all. Looking through my contract, on the terms and conditions it clearly says " by taking possession of this vehicle, customer, unless otherwise confirmed in writing by dealer, acknowledges that vehicle has no defects, flaws or irregularities that would be detected during a visual examination or that any equipment or option is missing". You sign that and then 5 days later, show up and find a deep scratch in your car or find the scratch once you have the car shipped to you, unless the dealer is very sympathetic, your SOL. I'm sure a judge would agree and say, Hey, you signed that your vehicle had no defects and that no options were missing. If there was damage, why would you have signed the contract stating there was no damage? It even clearly says, unless otherwise confirmed in writing by dealer, thus why I said I would want the manager to put in the contract, "if your truck isn't perfect and as ordered when you get here even after you have already signed this paperwork, I will rip up the paperwork". Why do you think a lot of people are hesitant to sign anything until they visually look at the vehicle? most are taking a chance because MD has a great reputation, and the sales manager is a stand up guy. This is why contracts are made, to prevent stuff like this from happening. You can't sign all of this and then later claim breach of contract because you found some damage on the truck. You already signed that the truck was free of defects. By you signing all of the paperwork, you acknowledged that you took delivery of the car and that there were no defects. You picking it up is not taking delivery, if it was, you would sign the paperwork at that time. Driving the car off the lot is not taking delivery. You took delivery once you finished the signing of the contract and paperwork for financing. As soon as you signed that, the vehicle is yours. I mean dealer still has to send the paperwork to the bank but vehicle is yours. I bought a car from a sister dealer I work for years ago, got approved for financing over the phone/online and the dealer got the paperwork together but I didn't actually sign for anything until I went to the dealer and saw the car. That's usually how it works.
Are you talking about MD or other dealers? If your saying about MD I suggest have a business relationship before u try and be devil's advocate. I'm not knocking you and I'm not saying a hick-up might not happen. But for the majority the vast majority will buy another FCA product from them. No one touches their service and deals. This is coming from a guy who had his truck shipped to Illinois from MD. Saved a boat load of money in the process.
I was simply making the comment in general to what he’s saying about the contracts meaning nothing. His General theory that the contract means nothing until you actually take delivery of the car is incorrect. I have never made any negative remark about MD, as I plan to try and do business with them over this weekend. I just said that I would want something in writing when When a manager tells me over the Internet or by text that he will rip up the paperwork if there is something wrong with the truck after I have signed all of the paperwork. But as I mentioned to somebody else before that may change after having interaction with them. I’ve had my fair share of issues over the years that I’ve learned to be extremely cautious of everybody and everything. Others of made it pretty clear that they’ve shared the same fears of signing all of the paperwork over the Internet before even seeing the vehicle.
I understand. For my deal my car was on the lot when I bought it so they had a chance to go through it and see everything. On an order they don't know how the car is until it gets delivered. So I gotcha.
I think you almost ran out in front of me going to MD !
I saw your truck earlier in the evening when I pulled into the dealership to pick mine up! Great color combo!
I financed through MD only because they asked if they can beat my credit Union rate would I go through them. They did come in lower which I knew they would since they want the back end (interest). Now my credit Union is offering a 1% lower rate if I refinance through them which I will. Reggie was great to work with by the way.
They should be able to send you a snapshot of everything included with laramie 2. Laramie 1 ordered in December has them. Only thing mine didn't have I was expecting is wireless charging. However, the bucket seat option came in about 400 less than anticipated so no biggie.
I appreciate that. I think the change is a recent thing.....like a supply issue.
Me personally I really don’t care who I finance through, it’s whoever can give me the lowest rate. I really would like the 0% APR deal but apparently an 850 credit score doesn’t qualify for that. Lol. I also hope I deal with a good person. Just sent my build to Aaron so can’t wait to hear back from him.
