Lol this is the same kind of bs i ran into when buying my lonestar. I live in Houston and all the dealers i talked to had all these additions and absolutely dont want to remove them from the cost. In my opinion dealers entice people into the dealership by what looks like a good dealer discount but then as soon as you negotiate a deal on the truck they hit you with these stupid fees. My truck has all that plus a 2 inch lift. On my deal the dealer removed the cost but i only ended up with a 2500 dollar dealer discount which i was shooting for 6k off. I consider the lift and the tint additions to my percent off because i would have done that aftermarket and instead it didnt cost me anything. I still thing its a crappy way of doing business and i wish dealers would stop doing it.I've got the current deal from a dealer (I welcome any thoughts):
Lonestar Built-Serve 4x4
MSRP: $53,050
Dealer Discount: $6366 (12% off MSRP)
Invoice: $49,967
Price: $46,684
Dealer add-on: $1845
Rebates: $3500
First, the discount is pretty good, slightly better than a factory order 6% off invoice from Koons, but less than 7% off invoice.
The dealer add-ons seems like BS, so I am going to try and get them to remove it. The breakdown is:
Tint: $299
VIN Etching: $399
Wheel Locks: $249
Nitrogen in Tires: $199
Tire & Wheel Hazard: $699
Rebates: I need to ask more about these. The RAM website indicates up to $5800 available on the Lonestar.
