#37 of 43 Re: 2001 Quad with high miles [dustyk] by jfritsch Oct 27, 2007 (6:37 pm)
Replying to: dustyk (Sep 04, 2007 6:39 am) I've seen several ads for the 30000 quad cab for about 10000 off msrp. That would be a pretty good deal. Beware the "chrome clad" aluminum wheels for $895. It appears that it is rough aluminum with a chrome plastic cover. This may be the same on the Ram bighorn too.   Good luck --jjf
#38 of 43 Used 2007s by jboehm Oct 30, 2007 (1:48 pm)
Any advice on purchasing a used 2007? I am finding it difficult to get "accurate" used pricing info since there are not that many that are getting traded. For instance I did find pricing on Edmunds and Kelly but NADA says that it does not have enough info. Since there are new ones still on the lots do the "Trade-in" values include any cash back offers or do I need to take that off as well?   2007 QC SLT 4x4 4.8L Flex-fuel Bench seat Sliding rear window Power seat single CD Sprayed on bed liner step rails $23,300 Replies to this message: jfritsch (Oct 30, 2007 6:54 pm) jboehm (Oct 30, 2007 7:57 pm)

Replying to: jboehm (Oct 30, 2007 1:48 pm) Avoid used 1year old cars. New cars can be had for not much more, if not less, especially trucks. You should be able to get a leftover 07 30000 msrp dakota quad cab for 20000 or so. A used 06 wholesales for about 18500. The machine you describe is about 30000 msrp.   A new 07 36000 msrp ram 1500 sells regularly for 24000. The kbb wholesale on a used 06 is about 21000 for a dealer sale price of about 23000+. You be the judge. The 08s large discounts will become larger with the holidays into next year. 07+ dodges bought new have the factory lifetime powertrain waranty too.   So my advice on a used 07 is ... don't. Duuuummmmb. Think 07 or 08 new.   Good luck --jjf   Any advice on purchasing a used 2007?

Replying to: jfritsch (Oct 30, 2007 6:54 pm) Thanks for the reply. I do agree with you. I priced out the vehicle new and it is only $500 more than what the dealer wants to sell me this one for. I will wait to see what the new incentives will be on Tuesday but may also wait until sprintime.

According to Edmunds the rebates on 2007 Dakotas is $5000 customer cash. However, it also looks like there is $5000 dealer cash as well. Is this accurate? No other site, that I have found, shows dealer cash. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jul 08, 2008 1:11 pm)

Replying to: jboehm (Jul 06, 2008 8:50 pm) It doesn't really matter what you find advertised. There is significant dealer cash on Dodge trucks for years. A 31000 Dakota (msrp) probably wholesales used in its 07 version for 18000 or less (kbb.com check it out) this figure is probably optimistic. This is what your 08 truck will trade in for in a year. You want at least $10000 off msrp on a Dodge Dakota. Preferably more. These trucks (20 mpg vehicles) move like mud and the Dakota has been particularly disappointing for Dodge. (The 1500 sells for less and undercuts it in most markets).   If you don't need towing I would look at the Honda Ridgeline or the Nissan Frontier. You should be able to get either in a crew cab for 21000 or so well equipped in 4wd. The Ridgeline is of excellent quality. Without the V8 definitely go for the other two.   Good luck --jjf   According to Edmunds the rebates on 2007 Dakotas is $5000 customer cash.
