Brand new to this forum. We pulled the trigger on Saturday. My wife got a RWD Laramie with bench seat, Hemi, metallic red paint, and no other factory options. Overpaid the dealer a little bit for a Rhino liner ($695). We have two kids; my wife wanted the bench instead of the console for the extra seat.
Sticker was $45,830 before the liner, paid $33.1k after all dealer fees but before tax and registration. I think it came out to 28.9% off.
Overall, we're thrilled with the truck. It sure doesn't feel like a "$33k truck" inside, with the leather, butt coolers, etc.
Would have liked the reclining rear seats and the giant screen, but not for the price.
Congratulations! It's an awesome truck!
What is the deal with the reclining rear seats? My truck is a Laramie and it came with them. I wasn't expecting them and was really pleased when I noticed I have them. I thought they were just standard on the Laramie trim. I got most of the available options on mine. What option is it that results in getting reclining rear seats?
I have to ask (as i've never bought a brand new truck before), do dealers get more trucks in, or is my selection going to continue to dwindle down. If i find the one that i like, do i need to jump on it or can i wait for better rebates? Reason i ask i am looking for something pretty specific, and i would hope more 2019's will be showing up at my dealers. Thanks! This thread has been great.
Dealers will always be getting more trucks in. But, since they are not accepting new orders for '19 models, the selection of trucks that are getting the fat discounts is going to dwindle. There are probably still some '19s in the pipeline that will show up on dealer lots, but probably not many.
The really big discounts recently have been a combo of different rebates, but the one that really pumps up the discount is one that Dodge does for vehicles that have been on a dealer's lot for more than a certain number of days. So, the exact same truck could be much less at one dealer than another because that dealer has had it for a while and the other got theirs more recently.
Anyway, I think some of the big rebates ended on Monday. So, you might be better off to wait, if you can. Unless you find something you like that is offered for 25% or more off of sticker price. In that case, I doubt waiting will ever get you much more of a discount than that. I think the biggest discount I saw that anybody posted was 30% and it's not always clear whether they factored in Destination Fee and dealer processing fees when they did their math.
I got 26% off sticker on mine. That is comparing apples to apples. Sticker (which includes Destination) to what I paid (including Destination). But, the price the dealer was advertising it for did not include the Destination Fee or processing fees. If I did the math using the advertised price versus sticker, I would be saying I got 29% off - which would be wrong, in my book.
