I hate to hear that. Someone out there wants your money, just keep trying.
I finally decided to take the plunge. I really loved my 2014 Ram 1500 Limited 2WD and after 5 years of ownership, I kept telling myself I was content with it and didn't "need" a new truck, but with the deals going around I found it impossible to resist.
Im taking delivery Monday of 2019 Ram 1500 2WD Limited. MSRP $62,445. Ended up a little under $46k + TTL. (This figure does not include trade).
The dealer was advertising the highest price of any of the dealers I was considering (only $10k-11k off MSRP), but I went in prepared. Showed them three competing dealers that were offering 26%+ off MSRP. Without much fight they came back at 26% off, but still had a bunch of add-ons and junk in the deal. Told them I wasn't going for any of that and wanted $47k OTD tax and all. That would have been close to 30% off. They came back at over 27% off MSRP, but left a $799 protection plan that they were hell bent on including, so the effective net was a little under 27% off MSRP. They were a little low on my trade offer, but talked them up enough that combined with the tax savings it made it worth doing it just to get it done.
Im sure one of the other dealers may have gotten a little more aggressive, but as everyone else is pointing out the supply is starting to run low and this one was configured the way I wanted it. Also the dealer I chose is only 5 miles from my house, so there is a big convenience factor there.
Dealer was Pineville Classic CDJR in Pineville, NC. Salesman Luis Rodriguez was very easy to work with and I would suggest them for anyone in the area. Although they are down to only a few Limiteds on the lot so you better hurry!
Glad to finally be a part of the 5th gen club. Thanks to everyone on here for the feedback, it really helps level the playing field.
