Price negotiated from MSRP

[ToopaCent]

Someone let me know if I'm misisng anything from non-manufacturer rebates:
$500 USNews link
$500 Nationwide Bonus-Drive
$1000 Penfed

Anything else? I thought Tredlightly used to be $500 but is it now only 1% below invoice?

 

[Silent Bob]

Anyone had any luck using the US News $500 savings? I think its through TrueCar.

Looks like another $500 to add on

There are a number of places you can get this (Allstate, Sam's Club, AmEx, etc) it is through TrueCar. If you join PenFed you can get $1000 instead. Just initiate a search through one of the services and you should get a certificate number either instantly or emailed. Only one can be used.

Tread Lightly has always been 1% as far as I know. Access Fund is $50 cheaper than Tread Lightly as stated in the post in my signature.
BonusDrive is $250 and can be combined with anything.

So its the penfed 1000 or that 500 link, not both?

Yes, only one TrueCar affiliated certificate.

For those who do not want to join PenFed or can't wait 60 days for the $1000.
You can use this direct link to the $500 certificate.

Good one. I filled it out, got the code, and sent it off to my dealer.

I would scroll to the bottom of the page...it is for Dodge vehicles, not Ram.

No, if you click around a bit, it will come up with 202

RAM 1500s. I just sent an email to Aaron Ginsburgh at Mark Dodge to see if this is real.

I got the TrueCar code ($500 and sent it to Aaron. It was news to him but he will check it out.

Came home with a new 2021 RAM 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 Sports Package Lvl 1 and the upgraded 12" Screen this weekend. Went to Napleton's Arlington Heights Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=1C6SRFJTXMN587981

Sticker Price was ~$58k. Was able to walk away at a final price of $49,500. This included a 2k refund when financed thru Chrysler at a 4.9% rate which I'll be refinancing.

Pretty happy with the deal. Had been shopping around for awhile. Took a lot of negotiating and back and forth to finally get that price - nearly walked out three times. This was my first time buying a new vehicle so it was somewhat off putting but it is what it is I suppose.

Can the Nationwide Bonus-Drive $500 be paired with these?

 

[Troutbeck27]

So my PenFed certificate says it expires 5/2/2021. My truck probably won’t be here by then. Anyone have any luck resubmitting/reapply?

Congrats on the new ride! Post up a pic!

In the market for a new Ram - not in a hurry so willing to hold out for a good deal. Is there an ideal time of year to hold out for good or best deals? I'm in DC area so understand Koons and Criswell are good volume dealers to start looking, but would like some good rebates to go on top of that. How do the current "Truck Month" incentives compare to recent past incentives?

Right now with shortage of chips and covid. I don't think factory is going to offer blow out pricing. I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks - according to your link we're currently in the "least discounted months" but I've only been looking at Rams since Jan/Feb so wasn't sure how the current discounts compared to previous rebates for example this past December.

Silent Bob's posts are very helpful but also remember there is an exception to every rule - I bought my 2019 1500 in March of 2019 and got an awesome deal on it. I think a lot of folks got good deals at that time for whatever confluence of reasons. Incentives may be better in another month but if you happen to find the right truck at the right dealer you can put together a great deal anytime of year.
