This guy gets it. There’s no magic.

I updated my post...thanks.This deal includes a bunch of incentives most people won't qualify for. Another bait tactic. Get you in the door with a low price and then reveal once negotiating you don't qualify for most of the incentives.

June was a magical month... congratulations!2019 Laramie 4x4 non e torque
3.92
20 in wheels

Dealer rebates and discounts 18,002
Price 36,500. +feesView attachment 32560View attachment 32561 Purchased early June in CA
Trucks are at least $10-20K overpriced period. To be able to offer those discounts tells you they are huge profit makers (and the makers admit it). Yet we keep buying them so they keep loading them up and the cycle continues... how are our kids expecting to continue this? 120 month loans?A fully-loaded Limited in the US will get to $71,000 pretty easily - just add everything. BUG, eTorque, Level 1, 3.92, anti-slip diff, RAM Boxes. My truck was a shade under $70k and I didn't get RAM Boxes.

My dealer gave me agressive discounts and rebates because he had a 'dealer number' to make on July 31st. My purchase helped him achieve his target. And I actually found my Laramie at one of their sister dealerships and they transferred it over to their location.This thread should only include trim package, actual sticker MSRP (no dealer adds), date of build, price paid, and doc fee.
I think there are quite a few stretched % off's on here. There are some factory discounts on old builds on the higher trims.
You have MSRP, Invoice, FFP, EPP (must qualify), HB ( dealer hold back), and rebates. Unless you're buying a classic, big horn, or old dealer stock I call BS on 25%+ off after July 1st (unless they back dated it). There is no magic discounts.
If a dealer discounts their overpriced dealer adds or doc fee's they don't count.
I just bought a limited at 15% under MSRP and I worked them. My dealer had no doc fee's, no adds, split the hold back with me and gave me $750 in preferred customer coupons (the dealer gets a limited # of these each month to help push deals). I got the competing truck $1000 rebate, Chrysler financing $500, plus 0% for 36 months, $1000 in targeted credit union cash, and the $500 southwest bonus cash. It was $400 cheaper to go with invoice pricing over affiliate since some of these discounts don't stack.
I missed out on the across the board 15% MSRP discount waiting for delivery of my truck. Could of saved close to $5k. I doubt that comes back. Dealer stock is dwindling daily and 2020's are on the line right now.
I just saw a brand new LT Chevy half ton, the new style does not look attractive at all to me. They’ve tried to round it off as a opposed to the square look it had for so many years, I don’t think they pulled it off very well.I think we will see better discounts soon from ram or else they will lose share to ford and Chevy who are already out there at 20% off. July was likely a slow start to the quarter due to orders pulled into June.
Time will tell
My local dealer has several limiteds on their lot. They all have the tow package which rules it out for me. Funny thing I noticed is almost all of them were built in either oct or nov of last year. It's just surprising to me that they have trucks that old. I'm looking to trade my 15 ecodiesel unless I sell it first, but I guess I'll have to wait and see if they offer those 25% and up incentives again
Sorry whats the obvious other than it is not the new model. Also, is that a good price great price, average etc.Aside from the obvious, no not really. The previous gen trucks were great.
They should have those old stock Limited's marked 15% off MSRP.
Have you driven one of the 5th gen trucks? I had a 4th gen Laramie and traded it for a 5th gen Longhorn. I really liked my 4th gen but it doesn’t compare to my 5th gen at all. It is hard to imagine how much nicer the new trucks are. Although like was said earlier the difference may not be so apparent in the lower trim levelsSorry whats the obvious other than it is not the new model. Also, is that a good price great price, average etc.
