Looking to get a real good deal on an '07 Ram Quad Cab 1500 SLT w/ Sprt package, Nav, Tow, Protection, Hemi, etc. MSRP is 41,500. Dealer offering $8000 in rebates. I think I can get an otd price before rebate to 30000-32500. Am I nuts? I really think you can play hardball with these trucks right now. Any help would be great. Thanks,

Replying to: eltipo (Apr 30, 2008 6:02 pm) You should be able to get a new 08 like you stated for about your price or less, assuming 2500 or so is tax. Lookup your 07 vehicle used on kbb.com and nada.com with 14000 miles on it. If it is new with low miles (1000) add about $1000-2000 or so to the wholesale used price for the price of a leftover new 07. Don't be surprised if you can work almost as good a deal as 30k otd on a new 08 amongst other dealers and your dealer won't play ball. They like to work these leftovers and demos for like new money. Its almost an ego thing. Add about 15-20% or so (about 5500-6000 I guess) to the used wholesale 07 price for a target on a new 08.

Replying to: jfritsch (May 01, 2008 4:29 am) I also have a trade that will be part of the deal. '05 Wrangler Unlimited w/ 14,000 miles in excellent condition. I am sure they can sell it certified used and recoup some of the discount they pass me. I am banking on a slumping economy, soaring gas prices, and a lack of consumer spending. Thanks for your help. Where did you check the price KBB, NADA, Edmunds TMV? I want to go into this armed to negotiate.

Replying to: eltipo (May 01, 2008 6:54 am) Forget about edmunds TMV on new vehicles. It is many times optimistic (for the dealer) and grossly optimistic for trucks. (I wonder what it is on a new 08 42000 ram?-- worth 20000 wholesale in a 12 months) Check out my message 4681 on the hyundai sonata forum for useful info on how to buy a car. Forget about bringing in paperwork for negotiating. Get 10-20 + bids via email from dodge dealers last week of the month for 08s. Work the top 2-3 against one another, eventually via cell phone. If your leftover 07 dealer won't chop at least 2000-3000 off your best deal on a similar 08 forget about it. Good luck --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (May 01, 2008 4:15 am) jfritsch, I wanted to ask if the wholesale price you are getting from KBB on the 2007 Truck is the OTD price or whether you then add TT&L??? It kind of sounds like you are saying the KBB price is the OTD price but I wanted to clairify. Thanks in advance!

Replying to: sleukem (May 14, 2008 9:38 am) I think from my other post the 30k is inoperative. When I looked up the used wholesale price of an 07 41000 msrp ram (avg miles 14000) the 20000 figure was a bit surprising, but not much. Actually you may want to try for a much lower price as I see today I am paying $4.05 a gallon. Also don't forget to aggressively try for prices on the 08, (my msg #4681 in Hyundai Sonata prices paid forum) as people don't usually have much success (although they think they do) with demo's. Good Luck --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (May 14, 2008 12:25 pm) I am considering buying a 08 Dodge Ram 2500 4wd 6.7l 6-speed manual. MSRP on the trucks I am looking at is around $44,000. It will be my first pickup and am wondering what price I should be able to realistically bargain them down to. One dealer sent me an e-mail quote of 33,500 so I expect I can do better than this but I don't have a clue how low they can go hell thats 10,500 off MSRP by e-mail how are these trucks priced??. Any advice experience welcome. Thanks P
