Thanks @mplaramie - we're at $17K total discount off instock Laramies right now (that includes dealer discount and rebates). Website shows it as all dealer discount but that's becuase rebates just loaded today. Anyway, that's about 24% off MSRP for many of them. Online inventory is pretty accurate but things are moving reasonably fast (both inventory and changing discounts/prices).

Anthony, what's the best way to get a custom build quote from you guys?
 
When purchasing from Mark Dodge, how much does it typically cost to ship the vehicle to Southern California?
Are majority of the savings eaten up from shipping costs?

Not too many reasonable dealers in socal.

I'll probably be the best easiest purchase you ever made for a car.

When I had my truck shipped to NY, I paid about 1 dollars per mile. And obviously that is an extra expense, but at the time, I still saved over 10,000 dollars by purchasing from Mark Dodge.
Today would probably only save about 5 or 6 now that most.placss no longer charge mark ups over MSRP.

That may be the understatement of the year. When I was shopping socal for a Rebel factory order, most acted like MSRP-$1000 was a great deal. Many wouldn't budge from MSRP. When I showed them the internet quote (not from Mark Dodge but at the time a similar internet discount dealer in Auburn WA) a couple dealer reps accused me of fabricating the quote. I flew to Seattle and drove it home. Saved about $14K and got to enjoy a scenic drive down the west coast.
 
Hey all, I'm having to back out of an order at MD for personal reasons. If any of you are looking for a well equipped Laramie Level 2 this one is scheduled to be built at the end of the month.

Just drive it home, I've picked up customers free of charge from the Airport. They purchase that day, then drive them home.

I am also interested in this. I need to ship to a CA tribal reservation in order to avoid paying sales tax and Mark Dodge seems like the reasonable choice.

I am thinking the same thing about the Hurricane.

Generally speaking, it has recently been a little less than a dollar per mile to east and west coast, as well as most well-populated areas. The more rural you get, it starts to creep up towards like $1.15 per mile or so. This fluctuates as it is real-time pricing with carriers, so it's not "lockable" in advance. We do all the legwork for you, you simply pay the carrier upon their arrival to your driveway.

Should have driven by the dealers too!
 
Just order a 1500 Laramie in flame red last week. Could not find one anywhere on ram truck website without the moonroof. So I decided to order one. $71260 before discounts. Dealer gave me $15250 off the msrp.

Update: well I got a phone call from my salesman today. Ram kicked my order back saying you can not order the flame red truck with the air suspension. Make no sense at all. Why let you put that package together on their website then.

What should someone be aiming for on a New 2024 these days? Looking at a Built to Serve if that makes any difference. Sticker $64,075. “Advertised MSRP“ $73,420 somehow they are different.
In my area it seems like dealers don’t want to deal. I’ve always assumed 20% is the magic number with the thought nowadays to shoot a couple points higher with the 25s filling up the lots, potential over supply of vehicles on lots and the demand for vehicles declining as a whole.
Am I out of line or can someone advise differently?
might just have to go to the volume dealers or find a used Hemi.
