Price negotiated from MSRP

[Willwork4truck]

Yeah, wound up picking up a Limited on monday, dealer had ~6k in incentives.

Used to be K--z had decent pricing, well a year to two years ago. Guess they think there's enough fools out there to buy over retail. Must not have heard of the internet or somethin'...

Or they’re counting on buyers who haven’t heard of the internet. They must be out there, because someone is apparently paying this prices.

Beats me. Course' when I was 21, I paid over retail (by $800) for a one of a kind Jeep (in 1982) at a new Jeep dealer. I felt kinda' dumb but it was the only model like it in all of Denver so I paid it.
Turned out I loved the vehicle so that's what counted.
I hardly think RAM 1500's are in the same category though.

For some reason, that reminds me of a former cow-orker of mine who paid over retail for a PT Cruiser when they were brand new. I bet he felt foolish for doing that!

Edit: to be clear, I don’t mean to imply your Jeep purchase was foolish.

Just clicked on the Koons ad that's running on this site just to see what their prices are for gits and shiggles. Their "WOW" price is $5K over MSRP on all their high trims. It's definitely a wow price, just not in a good way.

My Bighorn that I ordered in March finally arrived today. I looked at this month's incentives and almost fell over in disbelief. Basically nothing really good. I'm so glad that my price was locked in for March's incentives because there is no way that I'd purchase a Ram with these lousy incentives for this month.

i ordered in March and will taje delivery soon. think it was 0% for 72 mos and $1000 ( at least for laramie) is thisvwhat you are getting at least finance wise?

I don't care much about the financing rate and term since my credit union gives me a great rate anyway. I'd rather a big rebate. It works out better for me that way.

In retrospect I could have bargained better but I traded 2 other vehicles for the new Jeep so it was a no cash proposition. One of the trades was a super clean mini 4x4 pickup (Chevy LUV) and shot off the lot, the other was an older Jeep dog and they ended up wholesaling it months later. So who knows.

Weird how AutoNation was falling all over itself to get my 2019 Ltd and it's been sitting there unsold for 3 weeks now. The other 19' Ltd that was already on the lot is still there too, both at the same original prices.
Wonder if things are slowing down? They definitely aren't making too much of a "fast buck" on those 2 trucks.

They do have 21 new 1500's in stock but are selling at MSRP, less all the phantom discounts for 3 legged red eyed calf owners etc...

What’s the going price for a three legged red eyed calf nowadays? Might be worth picking one up for the additional incentives.

Most of their low volume incentives were like $500.
Sample on a Laramie:

• MSRP $65,565
• 2021 Returning Lessee Loyalty Bonus Cash:-$500
• With Available Incentives $65,065
• Conditional Incentives:
• 2021 FCA First Responder Bonus Cash $500
• 2021 Chrysler, Dodge, FIAT, Jeep and RAM Military Cash Allowance $500
• 2021 FCA Case Construction Equipment Bonus Cash $1,000
• 2021 Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep Non-Prime Retail Bonus Cash $750

Likewise, my 2017 that I sold them a little over 3 weeks ago is still on their lot as well. I'll continue watching to see if there is any price movement or sale.

HELP REQUESTED!!!!!! As I confessed to you guys earlier, my dealer claimed he absolutely could not lock in the March incentives and my truck is finally due to arrive in Portland soon. Specifically I’m asking if any of you have anything in writing from your deal you are willing to share with me to present when I conclude my purchase. Email is billkoehler13@gmail. Or text (360)798-9188. And I appreciate in advance anything you can throw my way. Still buying the truck regardless of how this comes down - waited too long with my new travel trailer stored in my shop. As you can see by my build - she is more utilitarian than show piece - more old school to match this old fart. All said & done, I’ll still be pretty close to $50K plus taxes on a $58K MSRP but as I’ve heard others say - I may not be gay but $20 is $20. Thanks again guys - and special kudos if anyone can get me something from Bud Clary since they are out here.

Does it say "Sold Vehicle" on your build sheet. Look near the bottom of it.

Yup - Sold Order to be exact.

I went through the same thing. My dealership/manager/sales rep were all clueless about the sold order protection. I had to show them this thread and told them to get it done otherwise I am walking. I had no skin in the game since I didn’t put down a deposit, so I know it can be done. By the time it was all said and done, I got $10K off MSRP/18% off and 0% for 72.

Got my truck 5/28/21. Got 12.47% off MSRP and dealer fees were removed. Great value on my trade, when they told me what they would give me I was like put that on paper and lets complete the deal.

Thanks Chuck - will print & drop off to the sales manager

Yeah but I’m pretty sure that had to be done when you ordered. Not when you picked up…

Because my dealership was clueless, see above post, I was about a week and half away from delivery/arrival when I went through this. My order was labeled as sold. That said, I think it can be done. I ordered mid-February and my truck arrived May 17th.
