Replying to: jfritsch (May 01, 2008 4:29 am) I have not gone to the dealership yet because it is over 50+ miles away. Yes, it is a new leftover 07 model. Their website has 2 of the exact same vehicle on the lot. I am thinking $30,000 otd plus the $7000-$8000 rebate. Financing would be for the 22000-23000 range which I do not think is absurd. It is just difficult to price an '07 with the current tools available on the internet.   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. Replies to this message: jfritsch (May 01, 2008 8:10 am) eltipo (May 01, 2008 10:36 am)

Replying to: eltipo (May 01, 2008 6:54 am) kbb.com nada.com used car appraiser. If a 41500 msrp dodge ram (probably 43000 msrp for 08) with nav and such`wholesales used in 12 months (07) for $20000, buying it (an 08) for any less than 15000-16000+ off msrp is financially painful. Your target for a leftover low mi new 07 (41000 msrp) is about $22000 or so. Somewhere around 24000-26000 on an 08. (preferably closer to the lower)   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 Replies to this message: eltipo (May 01, 2008 10:36 am)

Replying to: jfritsch (May 01, 2008 8:10 am) Thanks for the help. They just left a voice mail - Invoice plus the rebates and wholesale cost for the trade-in. It is enough to get me to look at the vehicle. I think dealers have not caught-up with the slumping economy and it has not hit them psychologically yet. They don't know they are selling snow cones in Alaska right now.   I'll let you know how I turn out.

Replying to: jfritsch (May 01, 2008 4:15 am) 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.   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) It would be impossible to really specify it with tax and title, the taxes alone would vary from $50 to $2000+ depending upon state and county one resides in.   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 Replies to this message: patrickf1 (May 15, 2008 4:36 pm) jfritsch (May 15, 2008 10:29 pm)
#351 of 355 2008 Ram 2500 Diesel price by patrickf1 May 15, 2008 (4:36 pm)
Replying to: jfritsch (May 14, 2008 12:25 pm) Hi All 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 Replies to this message: jfritsch (May 15, 2008 10:29 pm)

#353 of 355 Ram 1500 by cynar10 Jun 05, 2008 (12:08 pm)
Can someone work with me on leasing a new Ram 1500?? I have a web page with a lease calculator, and here is what I'm working with. My trade is worth 2500 (or so but 2500 is a solid number) I don't want to put any money down, and I do have lease loyalty. I don't see anywhere in these posts a money factor or residual value. Does anyone know these??   Thanks, Steve

Replying to: cynar10 (Jun 05, 2008 12:08 pm) Leases are mean't to be fleeces, so unless you have a business try to avoid them. If you do they are still mean't to be fleeces but you can try to minimize the damage.   Your 40000 vehicle will have a trade in value of 18000 (probably less) in 12 months. ((look up an 07 on kbb.com or nada.com) Personally I would want something around 350/mo (preferably 300 or less with good credit) with no money down and 15000 miles/yr for 36 months with tax (7% in my state). Subtract 70/mo for your ttrade. I would prefer to sell it myself than prepay a lease with trade money down.   If you put 5000 down to lower the payments and the vehicle is totalled I believe the insurance pays off the car and the remaining (lower) payments of the lease to the bank and you eat the 5000. 2500 is less than that but still.   Good luck --jjf   The truck I'm looking at has a Msrp of 40000
