#356 of 393 Re: 07 1500 SLT [sleukem] by vinaview92 Aug 12, 2008 (2:15 pm)
Replying to: sleukem (May 14, 2008 8:38 am) 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.
#357 of 393 2008 Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab by smr1500 Aug 13, 2008 (8:23 pm)
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.

#360 of 393 2008 Ram 1500, basic Sticker 23050 paid 11525 by folsomjack2 Sep 06, 2008 (4:16 pm)
50% off the basic window sticker, Lots more available, They tried to offer low book less repairs for my 2003 Hyundai strippie Santa Fe $3000, I held out for $5500 and after going up the chain to the GM in 2 hours, I drove it home. The Hyundai had $3000 of necessary repairs including body work, all tires and a Loud 5th gear! I just could not believe it!
#361 of 393 2002 Dodge 4x4 quad Laramie for $8300 by carsearch2008 Sep 18, 2008 (4:30 pm)
Well, the dealers were full of bull so I finally went to a private sale. Nice truck and purchased from autotrader for $8300. These dealers need to realize they are done for and give the trucks away and start anew. I recommend they sell the 2008s 4x4 quad cabs for $17,000 and come out with a better more fuel efficient model for 2010 and bank on the customers staying loyal via better customer service and honoring of warranties. Bottom line, Dodge, Ford and GM need to forcus on quality, customer service and value (ie Japanese and Germans).

#363 of 393 Current Lease by cynar10 Jan 21, 2009 (8:12 am)
Guys can someone help me please. I'm emailing a bunch of dealers and I'm going with information from here and other sites. Is there any good lease's out there at all???? I got a dealer who is taking almost 10k off MSRP of a Ram 1500 Laramie but the leases seem to be way out of whack. The truck is 43490, and they would sell it for 35100. I haven't asked for their lease numbers yet because they are the best price, but all the other dealers lease's were way high in payments. Mostly over $500 should I expect the same from this dealer, are there just no more good leases. If you could answer quickly that would be great because I'm working on this deal as we speak.   Thanks, Steve Replies to this message: aohurst (Feb 07, 2009 7:09 am) jfritsch (Feb 22, 2009 9:57 am)

Replying to: cynar10 (Jan 21, 2009 8:12 am) You will not find a good lease now on any truck...Rams will not have a good residual, which along with money factor, is the key driver on lease payment.   When the truck you lease is worth 70% less by lease end, you have to pay for that in your lease.

Replying to: cynar10 (Jan 21, 2009 8:12 am) If you look at my other posts here the Dodge Ram has a very inflated msrp. $12000 off msrp was the standard mediocre deal for the last 4-5 years or so. If you look up the used 08 value of a truck like your $43000 number you may find it is about $22000.(kbb.com) A $35000 deal may have you eating almost $13000 to drive an average truck the 1st 12 months. (the most expensive). This is totally uncool for an average truck, especially in a recession.   Try to get 20 bids (dodge website (150 mi radius) last week of the month on a purchase (with your financing, shop around) And a lease. (no money down, 36months or so 15000 miles/yr). You should get about 2-4 dealers to bid several rounds for a 3 or so days. The lease is the easiest, lowest payment under the mentioned terms wins.   Good luck --jjf
