#143 of 355 SLT to LARAMIE by iowabigguy Sep 03, 2004 (8:59 pm)
Bill, That's an expensive way to customize. I hope you kept your CD changer for the new truck.   I have a friend of a friend who just bought a 2004 Ram 3500 Cummins/6speed Dually. He is wanting to upgrade his speakers like you did. When you installed the tweeters in your dash was the wiring harness there or did you have to wire them into the radio? Good luck with the new ride.

Replying to: iowabigguy (Sep 03, 2004 8:59 pm) Hey Rick, It would have been expensive, but I got extra (EOM) cash back from the dealer and free nerf step bars as well, so all I paid was the difference in a car note back to them for the overlap month and 500 cash; no other out of pocked expense. The ride on the 17 wheels and 3.55 LSD rear end is SO much better as well, definitely worth the upgrade. Oh yeah,, Sport appearance package, so it has the matching body color painted trim, billet grille, tow hooks among other features. Quite a good look! The tweeters went in so easy (refer to the upper dash removal you sent me, and I just needed the dash head unit wiring kit (Best Buy) to tap into the speaker wires easily. I DID use the resistors to filter out the low end (Crutchfield sells tweeters already filtered of course. They mounted right to the existing openings and the system sounds much better when fired up. And YES I used the changer in the Laramie.. the LCD display is quite different to operate but with the steering wheel controls, I am already wondering how I drove WITHOUT them in the past .. 350 miles and very happy (wife is too with the dual AC... and heated leather come cooler weather <G>) Bill
#145 of 355 RAM Diesel for $37500, Saga at Waldorf Dodge in MD by rkelon Sep 12, 2004 (10:33 am)
Make sure you get everything completed before you take delivery or it becomes their way or the highway. I regret making the purchase through this dealership. The finance people are very difficult to work with and it will take a lot for me to go back...my advise, shop else where, or get everything completed up front. Companies need to be accountable for their actions and one thing consumers can do is not do business with them.

#147 of 355 New 2004 by ramhappy Sep 17, 2004 (1:02 pm)
Replying to: kcram (May 18, 2004 6:56 pm) I'm looking at a new 2004 1500 4x4 QC Laramie. Laramie Preferred package ($4845), Sport appearance ($395), Trailer Tow, Heated Front seats, 5-speed ($1170), Full-time shift on the fly, anti spin, Hemi, tow mirrors, On/Off road tires. MSRP is $38405. Dealer is offering to sell at $30000. This includes rebates and is $150 below their public invoice. I don't think this is a good price. Pittsburgh area. Comment??

I have seen $10,000 discounts on High End Rams here in the MidWest.

Replying to: ramhappy (Sep 17, 2004 1:02 pm) Wow! From an invoice perspective I thinks that's a heck of a bargain. I'm not familiar with the current RAM rebate offers, but if you could buy that truck for $30,000, I'd say that's more than a fair deal.   At the moment high-end RAMs are in short supply around here. There are quite a few entry-level models and a number with manual transmission. I was at my dealer's this past week and there was not one '04 RAM 4x4 on his lot. Nor a diesel.   There may be more to squeeze out of that RAM with rebates, I don't know. Good luck on your quest. It sounds like an exceptionally nice truck you've got your eye on.   Best regards, Dusty

Ram 1500s can have rebates as high as $4500...   2500 primary rebate 1000 Bonus Cash  500 Military rebate  500 Farm Bureau (if member)   Average difference between MSRP and invoice on a loaded Ram is around $5000. So ten big bills is not out of the realm of possibility - one just has to remember this is discount from full MSRP.   kcram Host Smart Shopper and Wagons Message Boards Replies to this message: dustyk (Sep 18, 2004 1:35 pm)

Replying to: kcram (Sep 18, 2004 1:04 pm) Kcram,   I guess with the '05s just about a month away most dearlers are probably in a bargaining mood!   My dealer is not particularly large -- about 1600-1800 units a year, but his current stock of RAMs is pretty pitiful even for him. I think I saw eight on the lot last week and they were all plain-Jane versions.   Bests, Dusty
#152 of 355 RAM Rebates by aggiemph1 Sep 19, 2004 (7:22 pm)
In my area, Dodge is advertising up to $8100 off MSRP. I was wondering if anyone knew how that broke down? I know that ~$1500 of it is if you fincance through Chrysler.   Thanks   CT Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Sep 20, 2004 5:58 am)
