May 30, 2023 purchase of my 2023 Ram 1500 Laramie 1500 Night Edition. MSRP 70K and 25% off MSRP 51.5K before taxes. This is without trade in or downpayments.

Almost exactly the same deal I made on May 26th for my 23 Laramie. 70k MSRP and 52k sale price ttl.

Mike Smith in Beaumont, TX... it was round about in terms of percentage...

I would jump on a deal like that. Unfortunately I can't even get that on 2022's still sitting on lots.

Don’t worry. They’ll be around. Rams aren’t selling. They are over 10% lower sales in the quarter versus last year and still declining. It’ll be soon maybe end of this month when they’ll offer it again. Where do you live? Just say the next big city over is doing 25% off msrp and if they don’t go anywhere near that just leave. Be nice tho. Salesman can encourage the sales manager to go lower on price. I went near closing time also.

I'm in NJ. Dealerships here act like they don't want to sell trucks. Maybe it's starting to change, but still no where near the discounts others are seeing in other parts of the country.

I find it varies by area, supply, and demand. A year ago we were looking at MSRP. By the end of the year we saw 10% off. We managed 13% off. Today we're seeing about 5% off. Other areas within a few hours are still pushing MSRP...it's all over the map. Go figure.

Idk how it works but you can buy vehicles cross state lines and have them ship it to you. You would still save more money doing that than buying in your area. I would look into that. Houston has thousands of rams and other domestics on the lot. I see them everywhere without fail. Dealer lots are filled with them. I know there is a process for it when buying cross state lines but in the end you’ll still save a ton. If you’re up for it.

You may need to take a EpiPen with you cuz sometimes dealers become allergic to selling vehicles

Yeah I am willing to do this for the right truck and at the right price. Ideally I would like to trade my truck in, but if I can manage to pull off a close to 25% off discount, I would buy out of state and ship the truck and not worry about a trade in.

I find this to be true also. Last year there seemed to be a coordinated effort between the dealerships in my area to not sell anything below MSRP. Some dealers were $5k over, but dealers that were at MSRP wouldn't even go $1 under to make the sale. It was like an unwritten rule that they couldn't go below sticker price.

with hail damage all over them, and nothing close to 25 from what i have seen

They are having a "Hail Sale". I have never seen that before, lol. Not that I am interested in a damaged vehicle, but if I am buying a damaged car, I would expect a bigger discount.

For me I think it would depend on what they mean by hail sale - if the cars had small dents without paint damage and were repairable with PDR I wouldn't be concerned if they offered a fair discount. Larger dents that crack the clear coat etc. I wouldn't want that car unless it had been repainted by a professional (not Macco) and had a good discount.

these were a ton of small dings, def pdr but i didnt see a big enough discount to bother with it

 

[Roddog2220]

whats most off right now anyone has seen on the trx

 

[Wildweasel61]

I just purchased a Laramie; MSRP just over 68k, price of 56k, plus ttl, etc. Unfortunately I couldn't wait for July, and missed out on the May sales, but still just under 20% off MSRP for the easiest vehicle purchase I've ever made is fine by me. Safford Warrenton, VA.

 

[FutchYou]

Negotiating with a dealer on a Limited 4x4, 5.7 bed. MSRP is $81,005, is invoice a fair price ($74,931). I was hoping for closer to 10% off of MSRP, but wanted to seek some feedback. Holdback on the truck is about $2400.
