I can tell you with 110% accuracy in canada there is anywhere from 4-7 thousand in profit to the dealer after rebates. Msrp-rebates = selling price which usually has 2-3 grand in wiggle room.
I'm not sure if they can be trusted but I just saw an Autonation tv ad - 72 hour "flash sale" 25% off MSRP on the new body Big Horn 1500.
Exactly^^^. My brother is a car salesman and he told me that the end of month is the best time. Dealerships try to hit their numbers and you have a better chance of negotiating. Walk away if not. Ironically, his dealership was way too high when I bought my Ram. So from Alabama to Indiana it was for me..Seems they are playing hard so you might have to whittle them down.
Hit them up in a week as it gets closer to the end of the month. Try to work a better dealer discount and tell them say you'll come sign papers the day of (or the day before) the end of the month. This will give you more leverage to talk them down a little more when you do actually come in. If they still don't budge while you are there to sign, then get up and walk out. Quite a few people say that they call to ask you back fairly quickly after that. Sometimes asking "what will it take for you to drive away in our truck?"
Not bad. I paid the same but didn't have a $71K MSRP, so you def got a better deal than I did (7K more optioned truck).Vernon Auto Group, Vernon Texas

For a 2019 now, 20% is a minimum deal, 25% a good deal, 30% a great deal, and it should be your target. You have all the leverage, because you have the money. Pay cash for your best deal.

Dlr Disc, and rebates add up to 13,500.00, that would equate to 57,703.00. Other rebates perhaps ??
Another awful misinformed post. Doesn’t understand how deals work, that rebates are dependent on trim, that higher optioned models allow for more dealer discounts, that dealerships make money on in house financing deals, that you need Chrysler financing at times for certain rebates, and so forth. No one cares about cash buying in 2019.
90% sure you can’t stack USAA and military together either, you have to do one or the other.
Edit: yep. One or the other. So another 500 fades away into the night....

Uummmm no. It’s called telling them you want another $3k off, that’s called negotiationsDlr Disc, and rebates add up to 13,500.00, that would equate to 57,703.00. Other rebates perhaps ??
True, sometimes I’ve waited almost 18 months, but with RAM $12k off is standard. I can’t even come close to that with FordOf course dealers like to sell FCA financing. They and FCA make more money. And guess who’s money they are taking to make more on their end. If you like to wrangle with car salesmen over $500 for this, or $1000 for that, so be it. And if you don’t mind paying (non-deductible) interest, good enough. I prefer to pay only what I think the best price should be, and if I can’t get that deal done, I don’t buy. Deals are of course way different for business use. My 2019 personal vehicle Ram purchase this year was just short of 28%. I took that deal, even though it wasn’t my target price, because it was a ‘lucky lot’ Laramie with no features compromises vs the options I wanted. It took a little over a year for me to find the truck at the right price.
