Replying to: bob225 (May 21, 2009 4:41 am) 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.

Replying to: buriedsun (May 21, 2009 2:58 pm) 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 --jjf I'm wondering what the lowest price paid for a o frills single cab ram 1500 is. I'm trying to leverage this whole Chrysler bankruptcy in an insane deal on a dodge ram.

| I would say $8,000 off a $42k sticker is pretty good. I got supplier discount with my deal. I guess 13k off MSRP could only be in Detroit where eveybody gets a discount. Even with that I bet dealers don't have anyone that can afford a truck in that area with the current econonmy. | |

Replying to: stmfttr05 (May 26, 2009 11:34 pm) Many Chrysler dealers are bankrupt, the factory (hidden and otherwise ) factory incentives of 8000+ or so per truck may be gone, leaving creditors and dealers with lots full priced vehicles that moved slow for years at $12000 off msrp much less $3000 or so. Obviously with such a situation you would be up in the air over what to do if you were in their shoes. Perhaps, just let them sit and slowly let them go for $5000 or so off for a year or so. At 12000 off msrp the avg turnaround was perhaps 120 days, So let them sit for a year and sell off at $6000 off. New production is zero so thats it. Not a great deal on the truck but doable. Lots of bell clanging about 'out of business sales" "once in a lifetime" deals in television ads and such may help, making the $5000 off seem more than it is. So beating your head against the wall trying to get an "insane" or even average deal of previous years may be unfruitful. Or premature. Good luck --jjf 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. |

MSRP: $37,485 Dealer offer after tax, title etc.: $31,250 Still debating this offer. There is no more employee pricing and I dont qualify for Dodge loyalty bonus so its really just factory incentive and dealer discount. I will definitely pull the trigger if I can get them under 30k. Thoughts?

Replying to: wooglin7 (May 30, 2009 6:27 am) Look up the trade in value of the vehicle used 08 on kbb.com. This is what your 09 will be worth in 12 months. If it is under 20k you may find paying $10000+ to drive a Ram the 1st 12 months is a bit sobering. Good luck --jjf MSRP: $37,485 Dealer offer after tax, title etc.: $31,250 Still debating this offer.
