MARK DODGE
Here’s another satisfied customer of Mark Dodge in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I factory ordered my 2021 Longhorn Limited with virtually all the bells and whistles the end of December and drove over last week from just west of Austin to pick it up. Easiest vehicle purchase I have ever had. Aaron Ginsburgh, Marsh Bice, and Shawn Vittorio make quite a Team and were a delight to deal with. I was in and out of the dealership in under an hour and they had even filled the tank (not inconsequential considering it holds 33 gallons).
Ok, here’s the deal:
MSRP = $75,720
Dealer Discount = $10,657
Rebates/Incentives = $4,750
Cost incl fees but before TTL = $60,313 or 20% off MSRP
I consider 20% off MSRP a smokin’ hot deal!
Here’s the rebates and incentives:
2021 National Consumer Cash, 21CM1 = $1,250
2021 Southwest Retail Consumer Cash, 63CM1 = $1,000
Chrysler Capital 2021 Bonus Cash, 20CM5 = $500
PedFed Credit Union, 44CNC6 =$1,000
2021 Military Consumer Cash, 39CMB = $500
March RAM Coupon, 45CMG1 =$250
March RAM Coupon, 45CMG2 =$250
TOTAL = $4,750
I didn’t dicker or even suggest these rebates. Aaron found them all on his own without my urging. He truly tried to find me the best deal possible and he certainly did that!
The coupons? The factory price of the truck increased from the time I ordered it in December until I picked it up in March. The dealership gets a limited number of discount coupons from FCA for discretionary use. Aaron used two of his coupons to bring the price of the truck back to the original deal we made in December.
I financed through Chrysler Capital in order to get the $500 Bonus Cash. The rate was 3.97% (terrible!) but I can refinance or pay it off after a month with no penalty. I have no idea how Aaron got that PenFed discount. I am a long time member of PedFed but didn’t finance through them (yet).
Last thing. To get the $500 Military rebate, you have to be an actual military retiree. I had to bring my DD214 to substantiate that.
BOTTOM LINE.
I could not be happier with the whole experience. Aaron Ginsburgh is simply superb at what he does and puts his customer first. If I ever get tired of this incredible truck, hands down I’m buying another one from Aaron!
FINAL THOUGHT. My sincere THANK YOU to Silent Bob, Security Guy, and all the others who have contributed to this amazingly useful thread! I would not have this wonderful truck at this wonderful price without you.
