Price negotiated from MSRP

[Whete’swaldo]

I am pretty new this forum and first time purchase truck. Is this a good deal?
2023 Big Horn Crew 4x4 Base Price: $52,420, MSRP: $61,850
SALE PRICE: $47,350 tax 7% $3,315 TTL, reg, and doc fee: $695 OTD $51,360

That’s not a bad deal.

Some dealers I already know before looking at their inventory that they almost never have any with the 33 gallon tank. I guess it's the way they do their ordering. The dealership closest to me never has any while some other dealerships I look at would always have a few of their trucks optioned with the larger fuel tank. Both of the 1500's I owned, had the larger tank. Last thing I want is to go to a smaller tank. And now with the e-torque engines, many of the trucks are coming with the even smaller 23 gallon tank.

Stellantis better reverse the forced ETORQUE on all engines

Stellantis better reverse the forced ETORQUE on all engines

Unfortunately they will but only when the V8 goes away and replaced by the V6 twin turbo.

I finalized my order with Koons and it was officially submitted this morning...went with a pretty loaded 2024 Limited Night Edition.

MSRP $86,055 marked down to $73,997 after Koons standard discount (6.2% off invoice) and another 1.5% off for Tread Lightly. End result is 14% off MSRP.

And now the wait...

 

[Whete’swaldo]

Bighorns will have expanded 10% off standalone (instock, no lease) from Ram now expanded to cover V8 and V6 (last month was V6 only)
Laramie's got a little better stack on incentives but still depends on your region
Both have a 2.9% APR option
(This is all for instock 2023s, not 24 orders)

Will post up more detail when they're actually published tomorrow, seems today was just verbal

Anthony did you ever get the specifics where you can post them?

How does the Tread Lightly thing work? I see it's a $100 to join. Can you sign up today and use the discount tomorrow?

You have to sign up for the $100 membership through the Tread Lightly website and be a member for 30 days before you're eligible for the affiliate discount. Within a couple weeks of signing up, you receive a membership letter and after 30 days are able to sign up through the Stellantis website for a code. Your dealer will need both of these pieces of information in order to process the discount.

Technically, the affiliate program is supposed to get you a price 1% below invoice, but both Koons and Mark Dodge do it differently because they're already priced below invoice. Koons gave me an additional 1.5% off their usual deal and MD does another 1%. It's not big money, but both get you more money back than the $100 membership cost.

A few years back here is the deal I scored.. I modified the truck a little, with take off wheels, led tail lights and night edition head lights. I researched for two years.

Do you see the incentives on the '23 Limited going up any close to what is on the Laramie?

Rebel/Longhorn/Limited RARELY catch rebates unfortunately, but these are strange times.

I would be all over this deal for Laramie if they had 360 Camera, Sunroof, and Night Edition, what great deals!

I'm guessing you mean you just can't find one with those features on a lot? They definetly offered those 3 options on 2023 Laramies with level B, night package and optional sunroof add-on.

 

[Roddog2220]

the msrp game ram is playing it a joke, my 21 limited was only 2k more sticker than my 22 lonestar, they have sold a lot of these and now think they can sell them no matter what they do, I have bought 4 but the quality post covid has been in decline, time to shop around

 

[Malodave]

If I could get my '21 ordered now as a '23 it would be $7K more. You would probably add another $2-2.5K for a '24.

4 minutes in they talk about Ram’s. It’s no wonder sales are dropping. Preying on fools is never a good long term business model. These dealers deserve to go out of business and why Dealers like Mark Dodge are thriving in a tough market.

This is exactly why I still haven't purchased a new RAM and might not even buy a RAM again. I have been spending some time looking at other options and some mid size suv's trying to find something else. Dealerships in NJ expect me to pay much more than others are paying around the country. I could buy out of state, which is an option, but just makes the whole buying process that much more difficult foe me, especially since I would like to trade in my current truck.

Whether you buy from Mark Dodge or not, I think you should look a little further into it - may be easier than you think. And trade-in may still be worth it to ship/drive, or skip it and sell it outright - there are more options, and higher demand, for selling your current vehicle than in years past.

CarEdge is good folks - they do a LITTLE bit of "sky is falling" for my taste, but that's what gets views. Their online forum is legit helpful for many buyers (all brands, seems very Mazda focused lately for whatever reason) and I've met their entire team of Car Coaches. It's a shame that's necessary, but apparently that's where we're at. We joined them as a "trusted dealer" last month, still TBD on exactyly what that entails, it's a growing part of their business. but so far I've enjoyed and appreciated all of my interactions with those people.
