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!

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

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

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

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

Hello Sleukem -
I was wondering if you have purchased the Dodge Ram and what your comments are if you have. We are currently looking at the Quad Cab, Diesel, it will be used to haul a stock trailer.
 
I am also concerned about pricing, and this will be the first "new" vehicle we have purchased. If you have completed the purchase I would like to know your thoughts/comments, and if you are enjoying the new truck? Thanks.

MSRP $41,600 (it's a 4x4 Big Horn pkg w/ navigation, tow package, seat heaters, stability control, limited slip, 20" wheels, etc.) Purchased for $26,500.
 
If I waited a couple of weeks, I might have picked it up for under $25k. Then again, the other truck that was $15k off MSRP was sold less than 2 hours before I went down to look at the one I wound up buying...

A reporter with a large newswire would like to speak with consumers who purchased a truck or SUV in the past couple of months and received a good deal as demand was low because of gas prices. If you just purchased a truck or SUV recently, please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than Monday, August 25th.
