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!

2002 Dodge 4x4 quad Laramie for $8300 by carsearch2008

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).

Current Lease by cynar10

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

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.

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

what did you pay? by fueledup

To anyone out there who's purchased a new Ram 1500 crew cab. Is it a safe bet to assume a total discount of $13,000.00 off msrp if the true window sticker is in the $45,000.00 range? If not what have you paid?

why would you assume that? i just went to a dealer in central jersey and he said that the only incentives that they are offering are $3000 rebate, $1000 customer loyalty. so i cant see him dropping the price another $9000, but if thats going on sign me up and i'll be right there.i priced a new 1500 hemi crew cab at $43,000 msrp online, if a dealer told me i can have it for $30,000($13,000 lower) i would go there tonite with cash in my pocket.

Read a few of my previous posts. If an 08 used Ram like your 09 new 45000 jobbie has a trade in value of about $23000 or such,(kbb.com), I personally wouldn't get a ticket driving to the dealer for $13000 off.
 
Good luck
