Well, that's about the best price I can remember on a RAM. Of course, the dealership took a write-off I'm sure on the miles since it was for the company. But still, even with a trade I think you did extremely well.
 
I purchased my '03 Dakota Club Cab Sport in October of 2003. With a list price of $23,700 I paid 17,400 cash (no trade), and I thought I did quite well.
 
Best regards,
Dusty

You almost gave me a heart attack there, as at first I didn't notice it was a reg cab and probably 4x2. For a minute there I was thinking you paid 4 grand less for a 4x4 Quad Ram than I did for my 4x4 Quad Dakota.
 
Anyway my guess might be your dealer knows where he can get top dollar for your trade and more than make up for whatever hit he might have taken on the Ram.

Dodge Ram discounts by iowabigguy

My Ram listed for just under $31,900. My purchase price was $22,300 after rebates and discounts before figuring in my trade because I was undecided if I wanted to trade or sell it myself. When I looked at others they were discounting $8 to $10K off window depending on how loaded the Ram was with options and what model (ST, SLT or Laramie (SLT+)). My Ram is a 2003 SLT 2wd, 5.7 auto, 20" wheels, 3.92 posi, upgraded interior with fold flat floor, 2 tone paint, tow package, 4 wheel anti-lock, AM/FM CD Cassette with rear wireless headsets and remote control. Plus a few other small options. Far less than a comparable Chevy or Ford at the time I bought it in June of 2003.

I have a dealer quote for $34480 for a special ordered: 2004 RAM 2500 SLT Quad Cab 4x2 w/ Cummings HO 5.9L Engine & 4-speed automatic trany. I have some options, all but 1 are minor. This price also includes this mysterious DAA & PPA/EB-PF charges. What do you think??

hi trucklady
 
DAA - Dealer Advertising Assessment - it's an advertising charge from DaimlerChrysler.
 
PPA/EB-PF - that one is nit as familiar, but is more likely a regional ad charge for your area of Florida.
 
Regardless, you want to zero in on your out-the-door total price. If they charge you a dollar for the truck and $33,999 for the title, it's still adds up to $34,000 regardless of how they came up with it... yes that's a gross exaggeration, but you get the idea

MSRP $38,325 No trade in here, I want to keep my old pony. Better to sell it myself when the time comes. Especially in this neck of the woods.
