Price negotiated from MSRP

Does one have to choose between 0% financing and employee pricing? I’m working with Future in Concord CA.

If employee pricing on night edition Limited

MSRP $71,805
Selling $61,773
But cannot get 0%

If taking finance 0% 60mo
Then price is $64,367

Invoice: 65,867
 
Anybody get the ramtrucks.com $1,500 pop up coupon to work recently? I've tried everything & nothing pops up.

That seems to be the norm across the states. Dealers are restricted to one or the other. Future is where we started our search as it’s one of our most local dealers but we ended up ordering out of state as the price was less than employee pricing plus we will get incentives/rebates that are current when it arrives.

We did get it to come up but had the same issue you are talking about. We cleared our search history and cookies and it still didn’t seem to work and then low and behold it did when I happened after the umpteenth time I was on the website. No rhyme or reason. Keep at it is all I can suggest.

My understanding is that you will always get EP. However, if you want 0%, you lose all available rebates beyond that of EP.

Congratulations and best of luck.
I was told there are 20+ modules in the Ram by "service". I'm not a mechanic but I think we are locked in to the dealer for some "services/flash/updates". Those modules and if the AC needs repair alone could give you a return on your insurance policy. Also think of your peace of mind having the coverage and a happy wife IF something happened.

I got the 8 yr 125,000 mile warranty. I think it's worth it with how complex cars/trucks are these days.

Welcome and my thoughts on your deal. 17% off MSRP...not bad at all. However, you WAY overpaid for your warranty...I'm not going to discuss the tint rip-off and nitrogen ;) Look at the information provided by several members on where to purchase warranties (search the forum). $1800 sounds VERY high for a 7/70 regardless of the deductible...you can do much better! I do not believe that RAM offered a 7/70...they offer a 7/75 plan. Did you buy an AFTER MARKET warranty??? If so, GET OUT OF THAT FAST and purchase a genuine MOPAR Factory Warranty.

Look for threads and discussion on the Zeigler warranty. My dealer gave me $100 over what their price was... Said he couldn't match it as that was below his cost. I took it due to the convenience factor.

Rebates no. Incentives yes.

I was able to get 0% - the $1500 incentive along with it, as well as the $1500 bonus cash from the website.
As well as BELOW employee pricing with 7% below invoice.

What part of the country was this?
 
I recently bought a factory order 2021 1500 Laramie Southwest Edition from Mark Dodge (Monotone Diamond Black, Rear Wheelhouse-Liners, Laramie Level 1, 5.7L V8 w/o eTorque, Anti-Spin Differential, 3.92 Axle Ratio, 33-Gallon Fuel Tank). Mostly dealt with Aaron Ginsburgh. Working with Aaron was amazing. No games, no negotiating, and no hidden fees. When I ordered Aaron guaranteed me $7,590 in dealer discount plus the $200 doc fee, $15 notary fee, and $4 temp tag ($49,869 plus the factory rebates at time of arrival before TTL). For a factory order, I considered that a great deal (better than any other dealership I had contacted) and put in my order on 11/23/20. Aaron figured it would take 8-12 weeks to arrive, so I was hoping for good factory incentives in January or February when it arrived. Ram got the truck done way sooner than expected and it arrived on 12/30/20. Aaron had already offered me a price below Employee Pricing and the December incentives were not great ($1,000 consumer cash). However, they wanted to get a deal done before 2021 so they offered me an even bigger discount of $12,000 plus incentives! I believe this was a combination of employee pricing and dealership discount, as I signed the paperwork for employee pricing. But other dealerships I had spoken with refused to combine their discount with employee pricing. It was one or the other. So to get both was an amazing deal to me. The paperwork from Mark Dodge did not breakdown that $12,000 in discounts so I have no idea how much was from Ram and how much was from Mark Dodge. I do know that employee pricing on the build sheet was $6,864 below MSRP. From what I have read online it sounds like employee pricing is partly reimbursed by Ram and partly comes from the dealership. I broke down the discount as "Employee Pricing" and "Dealer Discount" below but I'm not 100% sure that is correct. In any case, it was $12,000 off combined. I also had the RAM $1,500 Pop-Up Bonus Cash code and received the December $1,000 Consumer Cash. Combined that was $14,500 off of MSRP! If had financed with Chrysler Capital I could have received another $500 incentive but I preferred to get a lower rate with another bank. I had already been pre-approved for an amazing rate with a local credit union and that was the best rate I could find. Aaron's finance guys found a bank that would beat that rate! I ended up with just over 25% off of MSRP and an amazing interest rate. This was my first new car purchase and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Now I know I lucked out by having my truck arrive just before the end of the year when dealerships are trying to meet quotas and I doubt even Mark Dodge could normally give people that discount. However, I have consistently seen on this forum that Mark Dodge has the best prices and some of the lowest dealership fees ($200 doc fee, $15 notary fee, $4 temp tag). Any of the other dealerships that can get prices near Mark Dodge seem to have high dealership fees nearing $900 or try to double charge the destination fee. I cannot recommend Mark Dodge enough. Even if you don't get the deal I got, you will get a great price from them. And you won't have to deal with a bunch of games. I live in Idaho, so I am going to have to get my truck shipped but the cost of that pales in comparison to the savings I received by buying from Mark Dodge. I will give an update with pictures when my truck arrives.

MSRP $57,240.00
Dealer Discount $5,136.00
Employee Pricing Discount $6,864.00
December Ram Consumer Cash $1,000.00

Cost Before TTL $42,740.00

New member here, this seems like a great community.

I am currently in the market and have really taken a liking to the Limited trim.... my goal is to get to 50k OTD before taxes on a Stock limited with only a panoramic roof added on.. think this is possible or just wishful thinking. I’m in the northeast if that matters any.

I’ve read through the thread and it seems like the beginning of january is not a good time to go truck shopping.
While January may not historically be the best month for discounts it is still possible that you could get a great deal.

Start your search now and near the end of the month contact the GMs to see who will beat your best offer.

If you can get 18% or more off MSRP, that is a great time to buy you truck.

This link has advice on when you are likely to get the best price on your new truck. LINK

I echo everything about Mark Dodge and Aaron Ginsburgh. Did a factory order with him last Monday (Dec 28). Delivery expected in March or April. I might not end up with the incredible deal you got as I won't know the incentives until it arrives but I am very happy with the deal so far and with Aaron.
 
Update to my previous post. Was able to negotiate them to 65,700 OTD. They insist there is no more money to be had in the deal. That puts this at 18.1% off MSRP. Not exactly satisfied as it's still a 2020. Aiming to be at least 20% off.

I have been trying all day to get the pop-up to come up with no luck: clearing cookies, VPNs, Firefox, Chrome, Macbook, nothing.

If someone is able to enter my email into the pop-up, I'll PayPal you a healthy tip :)
