Replying to: felts (Nov 16, 2005 11:28 am) The MSRP I am talking about is the final sticker price with all the options and destination included. DO NOT pay for any dealer add-ons like a paint shield or window etching or a plain old dealer mark up. The limited you are looking at is 33,500 base plus options it is 36,485. The dealer you are working with might not want to deal but call some within 200 miles and they might give you some bargaining power. There is a local dealer that is running a ad in the paper. ALL '05 Durango's -2K off MSRP and -$7k factory rebate. That is just about $100-$200 over invoice. I am sure you can get your local dealer to sell it to you for $27,485 + TTL The deal I got was almost $1K below invoice before rebate. Talk to the fleet manager when you call other dealers. Then when you get the best deal use that as leverage so you dont have to travel and get the Limited for $26,485 +ttl. Good luck |

I just bought a 2006 Durango Limited. I didn't plan on buying it, but after a test drive in a decked out limited with the Hemi I was pretty impressed. A similarly optioned Sequoia was ~ $45k. I am VERY happy with my purchase price. Sticker was 42,525 plus ~ 400 in dealer add ons. Purchase price was $33,500 + TTT, and I did end up paying full dealer fees (a bit high). It was late and I was done negotiating at that point. Since I was trading in 2 vehicles and was happy with my trade price, I didn't want to muck up the deal at 10:00P on a Sunday night. Net-net it was about a $9000 discount. I am a little nervous about potential quality issues as I have traditionally purchased Japanese brands. It has these options: - Skid plate group - Trailer tow group - Two speed transfer case - Hemi 5.7 - Sunroof - 6 CD/GPS/NAVI - Uconnect Hands-free comm. - Auto-dimming rear view mirror - P265/60R18 OWL on/off road tires - Rear seat video system - Chrome bug deflector, wheel locks, spare lock, sunroof deflector and receive for the tow hitch |

| Just got a loaded 2005 HEMI Ltd with everything but nav, and blue tooth. It was at a dealer's auction with 27K miles returned from a rental fleet in excellent condition. Paid $19k or roughly 1/2 price for 27k miles. Am really pleased with it (far superior to the Yukon SLT I got rid of)and at that price I can afford to trade in a year or two and probably get most if not all of my purchase price back if I become dissatisfied. Dodge builds a good product but as history has shown, they dont hold their value. Buy slightly used if at all possible! | |

Bought yesterday in ND. 06 hemi, limited, nav, dvd, full curtain bags, shiny wheels package, tow hooks, molded flaps, towing package, sunroof, block heater. No backup sensors, skid plates, or Uconnect. $42,980 sticker Paid $31,451 + tax + 150 fees |

was it a 2wd or 4wd? i'm looking to buy, but it looks like the employee pricing promo isnt as good a price as the rebates they were doing before

Replying to: mantrasia (Jul 01, 2006 3:34 pm) It is the AWD/4wd version. Actually have the window sticker here. So its limited. -Optional Eqpt- Trailer Tow Group Travel Convenience Group AWD 2speed xfer case Hemi Power Sunroom Engine Block Heater 265 OWL on/off tires I had them throw in towhooks and the molded mudflaps, but they wouldnt install them. I got 1 tow hook on this evening  Then we had to go out to eat, looks funny, like its got 1 tooth So its the nav/dvd/shiny wheels/hemiMDS/sunroof/blah blah. Basicly doesnt have 3.92 rear, backup sensors, skid plates. $42,980 sticker We have about 200 miles on it now and averaging about 12.5mpg, so Im happy with that. I think it needs align as the wheel isnt square when your going straigt and it seems a little more active driving than it should. Sure is quiet, wow thats nice. Rides very nice too, doesnt corner as well as the expedition with IFS/IRS though but better than Tahoe.

| cool, thanks for all that info. my shopping strategy consists of faxing a letter to the fleet managers at the 6 local dodge dealers, listing what features i want and and asking them to send back their best out the door price....whoever has the best price and closest match to what i'm looking for gets the business. i'm looking to get one very similar to yours, but still up in the air whether the additional $3000 for 4wd is something i'd really use....more like a just in case thing for me i suppose, since it doesnt snow or really rain for that matter out here in the desert | |

I took advantage of the Employee Price offer today here in NJ and leased the Limited 4x4 w/ options for a Lease payment of $439 15k/36months Options included: Travel Conv Group: (18x8 Aluminum Clad Wheels, GPS, 6CD, side curtain air bags all rows) Full Time 4wd Shift on Fly Transfer Case 5.7 Hemi Sunroof Running Boards Uconnect OWL On/Off Road Tires Rear Seat Entertainment $44,410 EP Price $38,500 $3500 out of pocket for all costs (tags, 1st payment, tax, cap cost etc.) I didn't care how they split it up. $3000 rebate applied I didn't want to purchase the truck as I always change cars quickly and felt I would be beat on the resale after 3 years. Seems like a decent deal and the truck is really nice. Lots of options to play with. Hope this helps anyone researching. |

yeah, see the rebate thing isnt adding up. looks like they gave you $3000 rebate, but on this page on the dodge site http://www.dodge.com/incentive/durango.html it says the cash allowance is $4500 according to their example in the lower right corner...i dont get it

Replying to: mantrasia (Jul 01, 2006 8:13 pm) The "best price" went from $34-33-32.5-31.9-31.6-31.4 Frankly if we didnt own the durango this year we didnt really care. We still have to get her car sold yet. We locked in a trade price good for the rest of july so if we cant get it sold we get that price. In ND it was very very difficult to find one with Full Curtain airbags and rollover. That was a requirement basicly that and leather so the rest was gravy. When I looked at the Dodge truck finder thing this was the only one in ND. There were about 15-20 more in the minneapolis/WI area but none were a lower priced msrp package, they were all fully loaded with options to get the full curtain bags. I wish these manufacturers would wise up that just because I want safty I dont necessarily want DVD/Navigation/18" wheels/blah/blah. We were shopping the Ford expedition and the durango, same story with Ford. Try and find an 06 with RSC and leather and its like finding a White Buffalo. You cant throw a dead cat around here without hitting one of those King Ranches but they are so hideious. The Ford dealer found us a 06 Ed Bauer with RSC and leather but their best price was $36K. The expy isnt worth anymore than the Durango. They both have their upsides with Dodge its more nimble and better engine, Ford is nicer seating and nice ride with IFS/IRS, but the 5.4 engine sucks as its too underpowered in the Expys. Good luck! |
