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

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?

Just came back from dealer.

ADD BED LINER 350
Dealer disc. -3380

To help get the cost down even more, they will give me 11,500 for my trade and KBB Excellent trade on it is 10,500.
 
Would have pulled the trigger today but left title for my truck at home. Will come back Monday. I think I have a great deal, BUT, does anyone see anything else I can try and work out?

Before the employee pricing expired May 4th, it was easy to find an SLT for $13,000 off as employee pricing + $2500 rebate + 0% apr was available. Now $10,000 off MSRP is the best I'm reading about. I'd say take your deal.
 
If you looking for a diesel, there are still plenty of deals on 2009 Ram 2500 & 3500 models at more than $12,000 off if you qualify for the discounts.

Are you adding financing "potential savings" to that $13k. I don't recall that deep a discount last month.

new qoute by stmfttr05

just got a qoute from a dealership 40 miles away from me in another state. they would build me my truck which includes
1500 hemi 4x4 crew cab sport deep water blue,
uconnect tunes
3.92 axel
remote start and security
leather seats
class 4 hitch
25L package
 
msrp: $44,775
 
invoice:$40,486
 
rebates: -$4000
 
final msrp: $36,486 + taxes and tags and title fees
 
now whats pissing me off is i emailed 20 dealerships within 40 miles and the only one that is in a diffrent state is willing to build my truck and is giving me $8,300 off msrp.8 of the other ones that responded to me keep pushing trucks that dont come even close to what i want and there starting price is higher than what the dodge website says should be and they are only giving $4000 off the msrp. most of the dodge dealerships wont do anything to sell their trucks, then they wonder why the companies is having financial problems.
 
btw the qoute i got was given to me without any haggaling, which in my mind means that the dealership is still making a healthy profit. and no the dealership is not one of the ones that is closing down, none of the ones i emailed are on the list to close.

I picked it up yesterday. After my trade I paid 21.7k including tax. Overall I'm pretty happy with the deal.

I'm wondering what the lowest price paid for a no frills single cab ram 1500 is. I'm trying to leverage this whole Chrysler bankruptcy in an insane deal on a dodge ram.
I live in SAcramento CA, and so far the best deal I have found is 14,000.00 before tax+fees (15800 out the door) on a Ram 1500 with an MSRP of 22,170.
I'm not eligible for the dodge loyalty deal (they could have offered 12500 if i was)...
 
so im wondering if anyone has had success getting a better deal, and if someone could point me in the direction of a dealer in CA that can sell one to me for <13,000 before tax+fees.

Don't kill yourself trying to "leverage" something for a "once in a lifetime" or "insane" bargain. Chrysler /Dodge may be an exception, but the RAM has commonly sold for 12k off msrp for many years,for an average deal.
 
For several years, dealers in Detroit and perhaps other cities were selling them for 50%+ off with employee/family discounts in the may-sept timeframe. The MSRP has recently become even more inflated on the higher end models, and perhaps the lower end making 50% off even less motivational.
 
If you really really like and want the RAM, go for a 50% off deal. Just don't get a ticket driving to the dealer for 12000-13000+ off. That has been an average deal for quite some time.
 
Chrysler has been shedding employees and in difficulty for quite a while, the build quality and reliability of the vehicles weren't exactly stellar in previous years, much less those with build dates in the last 12 months. The motivation and morale of the employee base may have been less than usual.
 
An "insane" deal would have to entail considerably more than 60% off msrp.
 
Good luck

where is this happening? i'm so fed up with the dodge dealers here in new jersey. i'm looking at $44,000 trucks for $34,000- $36,000 and no one wants to deal with me. you say $13,000 off has been going on for years but i cant even get $8,000 off the price. i had an easier time getting $100 off the monthly lease price on a nissan for my wife. i'm looking to pay in cash and trade my jeep and no takers. where do you live, i'm about ready to fly out there for $10,000 off the msrp. sorry just fed up with wasting my time out here. just about ready to give up.
