No l had to give up the 1750 rebate ( $1500 limited and $250 for something else) but when I did the math on monthly payments it was a no brainer. The best rate I could find was 4% and even using the extra $1750 off my payments were still $80 higher a month.

Price negotiated from MSRP
- Thread starter Jared B
- Start date
FWIW. Custom order Laramie.
MSRP 65,225
Negotiated to 56,000.
Still have locked in 4,000 in rebates off, so I can only get more from there.
So worst case OTD 52,000 + TTF
I also got KBB on a trade in. I didn't bother discussing that here though since that's a whole other ball game.
If you believe TrueCar pricing, an "exceptional price" in my area is 17% off. My deal works out to 20%. I'm happy enough with that.

First time poster here. Been watching this forum for a bit, so much good information on here. Like the ending of the lifetime warranty. This is a big factor for me buying this truck. I keep my vehicles a long time, current is an ‘04.
So the warranty ending got me moving. Found one tha checked all the boxes for just under $64k, limited crew. This was my second time testing the truck (2 different dealers about a month apart) and it is great.
Started the negotiations and got stuck real quick. First offer was $2k off, no other discount or promotion included. Went back and forth a bit. Salesperson came out with a sheet that was supposed to be dealer invoice. Truck was listed just under $58k for dealer invoice. Manager joined a few minutes later and basically they said they couldn’t do more than the dealer invoice. I’m not even sure if the dealer invoice was on the table.
Based on the info in this thread this seems high. Can anyone provide some input on this? I am really not well versed in all the incentives and rebates. Assume I qualify for only what everyone would qualify, no specialties like military, lease trade etc. Would a price around $60-$58 with no other incentives be reasonable for a $64k limited? I am in SE PA.
Thank you in advance for any replies.

Just search this thread for KJRam, you will find they have provided a bunch of volume dealer info from around the country. VA is probably the closest for you. Koons. 7% under invoice + 699 dealer doc fee.
Get the quote and take that to your local dealers.

It depends on if you want to drive or not. Most small dealers can’t compete with the high volume dealers. They literally just pay more in the end because they don’t hit the volume incentives. If you have a good relationship with your local dealer, sometimes that is more important then saving another 1,000 dollars. Like it was mentioned, if you are in SE PA, a dealer that provides the biggest discount with no haggling is Koons. You can also try Farrish if Fairfax. Sometimes it’s possible to take that quote to a local dealer and haggle a better price.
Oh so close... Almost bought my new Ram today, but the purchase will have to wait.
Since V6 Big Horns are so scarce around here (Chitown), decided to look at Hemis with eTorque.
MSRP - $47,985 (4x4, CC, 5'7", Level 2 package). Agreed in principle on 6% below invoice (~$42K) - incentives ($8k - $6,500 available to everyone + $500 National Association of Realtors + $1K Truck owner conquest; I have the Penfed certificate as well, but they told me it doesn't stack with all other incentives).
Total $34,500 + TTL.
They take my truck ('06 Tundra Limited w/ 153K miles) to be "appraised" and find out (through Autocheck), the truck had prior accident with airbag deployment AND frame damage (accident in '06, frame damage discovered at auction in '08). I'm like - you've got to be f-ing kidding me! When I bought the truck 5 years ago, the Autocheck the (Acura) dealer provided showed NOTHING! Of course, they wanted nothing to do with my truck, so I decided to postpone the purchase until I sell the truck privately (with proper disclosure, of course).

What I did was go in armed with the Koons quote. My dealer started over invoice. Then I brought up Koons. We went right to the website while I was there. Once we took out the rebates from the price we went to percent of MSRP Koons was discounting. We got to within $500 of that. For current rebates you can check out Ram's website and they'll tell you what you qualify for. Don't forget Sam's Club or TrueCar. Each of those are $500. (Not sure if you can stack those though since i think Sam's is through TrueCar.) Last I saw there was also a nonFCA truck rebate.
SE PA? Where at? I'm in the Lehigh Valley area.

The 6500 rebates available to everyone. How did that break down. I am only aware of 4500 in my area to everyone. That is western NY.

That etorque bonus expires 11-26-2018. Hopefully will keep on extending it. The others expire in December but will probably keep going.

Requested a brochure from Ram over the internet to be mailed to my home address. Due to that request I received a $500 Bonus Cash Award and a $50 test drive eGift card . Purchased my Ram 1500 and received the additional $500 off (good for lease also). The certificate is good till January 2nd. Your address must line up with your driver's license. Immediate family members in the household can also use it.
I put this out there for anyone in the pipeline to purchase. Best of luck on timing.
This info is already on this forum but I am unable to locate the post. It may be a good idea to request info this way to be on the "direct mail" category of offers in the future (my opinion).

I requested many months ago but didn’t get anything but the brochure in the mail. I will try again. Did you receive the bonus cash via regular mail or email and how long would you say after you submitted the request for a brochure did the bonus cash show up?

I recently requested. Haven't received the brochure yet, but hoping mine includes the $500 incentive. I have my truck on order and the extra $500 could sure go to use purchasing the bed step or a tonneau cover.
