Price negotiated from MSRP

[Willwork4truck]

I just sent Craig at Koons an email to see about a price for the following:
-Ram 1500
-bright white clear coat
-Crew cab short box
-Laramie trim
-Hemi V8 MDS, e-torque
-3.21 gears
-26 gallon tank
-electronic locking rear axle
-Laramie level 2 group
-Sport appearance package
-bed utility group
-off road group
-rear wheelhouse liners
-12 inch uconnect
-dual-pane sunroof
-leather trimmed bucket seats
-rear underseat storage


There is one locally than I am looking at also. No off-road group, no laramie level 2, no 12 inch uconnect but it has level 1 group, 3.92, and MFT. Thoughts on the price of it?

If you were ordering, try to spec the 33 gallon tank. I think that makes a big difference considering the hemi is thirsty.

Is that a fair price to them or is it too low?

I think that price should be achievable, or beatable....but you might have to contact a few different dealerships. Remember that the salesmen don't make the decisions. You need to get passed them and talk to a fleet mgr or gm.

David Stanley?

Cooper in Shawnee.
Stanley actually has a red Laramie that has a better percentage discount but as noted I liked the Blue (& it was better equipped).

Cool, I drove from KC to Bob Howard in OKC to purchase mine. Looks like their prices are about $4k higher now than what I got 2 months ago tho. Not sure if they’re willing to work on them right now.

They have a patriot blue with the exact same build as mine right now

My brother said he saw that one when he was there yesterday but, for the life of me, I can't find it online. Did you see it on their website? Got a link by chance?

Well today I pulled the trigger as they say and ordered my new 2020 RAM LIMITED. I first tried to get a local dealers here in Atlanta to match Koons in DC. I finally got one willing to match the 8% below invoice deal but then they wanted wanted to include some BS fluff for “Paint and Interior Pkg” for $795. I said no to that but he wouldn’t budge so I said Thanks but No Thanks. I called Craig and said I’m ready to order. I sent my my build that I wanted and then he came back with two docs to sign to confirm my build and the numbers and then I did the deposit. I have attached the docs below.

Congrats! Oh, and just so you're aware, we can still read your blacked-out personal info on the form, may be best to remove this hehe.

Did they give you a timeline? I'm debating on ordering exactly what I want or buying from local inventory and settling just a little bit.

Congrats, calendar yourself to apply for the $250 rebate from “Bonus Drive” when you get it home. A couple of qualifications but otherwise it’s easy.

Congrats! Looks like a build I've been thinking of if I go the Limited routed instead of the Rebel.

Does anyone know if Koons if willing to deal on the hold back and the $799 processing fee?

If I went with a Limited, I'd much rather put that $799 towards the Off Road Package.

Congrats. I also just sent an email to Craig to get a price on a Laramie since im only 4 hour drive away.

6 to 8 weeks, but I have seen some on here report as soon as 4 weeks for delivery prior to the shutdown of the assembly line. I have been looking and researching since July of 2019. I decided to take a chance and hope and pray the rebates are as good this June as last year during those monster June sales. Keep in mind for those contemplating an order now, the SOLD orders will supposedly go to the top of the list when they start back up before any dealers start getting new stock. Every dealer I talked to stated that without me asking but yes they are dealers and most will lie to their Momma!! LOL But it makes sense to push sold orders to the front of the line.

I did not even try to negotiate either to be honest. Most all RAM dealers now a days seem to be $499 and up on doc fees. I think that starting at a much lower price point of 8% below invoice puts him way a head than most dealers. I talked to a lot of dealers In GA, AL, and TN and only one said he would match the offer but then also added a Paint and Interior Pkg for $795. So I hear ya, it would be nice to get that off too but I think he knows no one else is matching his offer around the country. But if you try to negotiate that off, let us know if he budged any. Good Luck!

Why the block heater?

Why the block heater?

Because sometimes it does get cold here in Atlanta and I leave at 530am in the mornings it would be nice to have my heater heat up faster. I’m getting older! LOL

That last post was in response to Big Ballers question.

I took your advice this morning. The dealership keeps calling me, trying to get something done before then end of the month. MSRP 56,280 on Ram 1500 Laramie off road.
Dealer offered 7750 in discounts
I qualify for 4500 rebates.
Dealers Final Price 43,530
+199.50 doc fee
and tax title license

My counter
$41,500
That would be 10,230 in dealer discounts
4550 in rebates.

We shall see what they say. This gets me beyond the 25% threshold, and if they say no, I can wait. Thanks to all for all the advice. It has helped tremendously. Will update when I receive an answer/counter.

Highly doubt you will get that much off. 43,530 is already a very good deal for a Laramie with that MSRP

Worst they can say is no. Wish you luck

Honestly if you love the truck, i'd meet them in the middle, say 42500 - 43000.... The difference overall is pretty neglible on our side, but it could mean the diff between a deal for them that nets 1000 profit or loses them 500 bucks.... On their side the difference of $1500 bucks is sink or swim...

If you DON'T love the truck, i wouldn't take the deal EVEN if they come down some more...

Just my thoughts, good luck : )

(and keep in mind, THIS advice is coming from someone who's mentality at a dealership is, "no one is leaving here alive if i don't get my price!!"... lol)
