I agree the pricing should come down based on rebates but the percent off from Koons and Criswell has been pretty consistent prior to the pandemic. I get it that the inventory is low because they weren’t building any when the plants shut down but with the unemployment rate so high, who is buying them that they can justify giving less of a discount? Logically thinking there are not as many eligible buyers.

It’s crazy. Sales are down but so is inventory. I think 1st quarter 2021 could be much different, especially if we have another Covid economic shut down.

well, it already looks like that's the direction we are headed. Given that, the supply chain disruptions which would also cause additional delays or low inventory then the questionable build quality of things coming from China, during this, I decided to buy now. Nothing has happened to indicate rebates would turn around soon or at all and given FCA's focus may be on this merger, they may have no interest in big rebates so they appear more profitable on paper

Im also buying now, but I’m questioning if it’s worth it for me to travel down to Virginia from SEPA. I get 5% below invoice regardless of where I buy from with EP pricing. Not sure that 1.5% is worth it. I imagine the doc fess in PA are also less than $899

I was willing to go about 600 miles for the right price but I dont think I'd go 200 miles to save $600. I was willing to drive in order to save thousands and the dealers I was shopping were 3-5K cheaper than Dallas dealers except Meador. My main problem is I had a specific truck build that was only at a few dealers. I don't know if they looked at them, in Feb /March as hard to sale or now, a rare configuration because they weren't moving too much at all here lately

I just made a deal with Lustine in VA and driving 4 hours. It's the exact truck I want but I didn't know etorque wasn't good. Are a lot of people having problems with it?

I'm kind of in the same boat but bc I can't have them run my credit until tomorrow bc I'm closing on a refi for my home. That said I'm driving 4 hours after I close but if the rate is bad, I'll just go get a new note at the credit union. There aren't any early pre payment penalties.

There's no way you were 45K OTD on a 59K MSRP Truck.
Sorry I don't believe it.
That would mean they gave you nearly 20k off MSRP AKA Over 30% off.
Doesn't happen, you're doing bad math somewhere.
A $9,100 discount plus $4,500 in rebates...I'd say you did pretty good! Especially during these times! (You have to remember the time frame of when some of these other members were purchasing...i.e. pre-Covid).
What is the $1,695 in "Total Financed Aftermarkets"? Sounds like the Destination Fee? If so, make sure they're not double charging you for the destination fee, as it is already included in the MSRP.

If we’re gonna get to exact numbers on everything, sorry I forgot the extra bit.

So far I have not been able to get anything going in Colorado and I was getting ready to either wait or go out of state, but today (Sunday even) I get an email from a local dealer he will honor employee pricing on his in stock vehicles. Is that still 5% under invoice minus a $200 fee and you can then apply factory incentives? Does the D&H fee still come on to of that?
