The part of this thread I don't understand is all the back-and-forth bickering about whether someone really got that price and can prove it, and whether they understand the price they're paying and reporting and whatnot. Like, this is just supposed to be a thread of basic data points to give prospective buyers a glimpse into what the current market for these vehicles seems to be at a given point in time and locale.
Look at the original post that started it. The only way this is helpful is if you tell us the trim you bought, where you bought it, the MSRP from the window sticker, the dealer discount, the rebates and total value of said rebates (which is variable based on location and qualifications), and the final sale price. Not anything about taxes. Not an "out-the-door" price. Not dealer fees (which should always be as low as possible and vary by state). Not monthly payment. Just list price. Rebate value. Dealer discount. And when you subtract the latter two from the first one, we should arrive at your sale price. That's the number people care about, and that's the number they'll use to try to calculate a "percentage off" that they can brag about.
And at the end of the day, who cares if it's even correct? Dude A says he bought a $70k truck for $50k. Other Dude B goes into his local dealership and says, "Good day sir, I'll take one $70k Limited for $50k, my good man." And the dealer laughs and says no. And then Dude B commences typical negotiations until either he's happy with the proposed price or the dealer runs out of room to discount it further. You should take the reports in this thread with a grain of salt. It's more information that you would have otherwise, but it doesn't necessarily inform anything about what you will pay for the truck of your desires.
I provided my report a while back in this thread, but just as an example, my more condensed report would simply read like this:
Location: Texas
Date: Jan 13, 2020
Truck: 2020 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 5'7" 4x2 Hemi eTorque
MSRP: $61,945
Dealer Discount: $13,946 (22.5%)
Rebates: $4500 purchase incentives (i.e., not lease cash)
Sale Price: $43,499 (30% off)
That's all you need to know for the purposes of this thread. And then, if you're interested in additional information about my deal, you could ask questions about the equipment in my build or the dealer where I bought it or why I got such a smokin' hot deal. Sure, ask if the numbers were moved around to accommodate a higher trade value, or whether I'm an FCA employee. I just don't think it's useful to suggest that my numbers are wrong or to ask me to provide some proof of said numbers or anything negative and condescending. The numbers I just provided are accurate and they provide a semi-useful data point among many others. It gives you a sense for what at least one truck—at one time in one location—sold for. Not what you can expect to pay, but just...a data point.
That's all I have to say about that.
