#378 of 424 discounts by bob225

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.

I'm not sure I know where its happening. Assumptions of great deals to be had with automakers "in trouble" haven't materialized. With govt cash propping them up, and the most recent situation with chrysler dealers.
 
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

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.

#381 of 424 2009 SLT QuadCab 4x4 Hemi by wooglin7

May 30, 2009 (7:27 am)

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?

Read several of my previous posts. $12000 off msrp was the std discount on these vehicles for numerous years, and definitely they weren't giving them away at that. 7400 off is nothing.
 
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

Since you are not getting loyalty and employee discout and not live in Detroit, I would say it's an OK deal. The '09 is drastically improved from the last 10 year cookie cutter styles.
 
If you hold out you might find one of the dealers that are going to lose there franchise that are willing to unload. I am pretty happy with my purchase.
 
Good luck.

#384 of 424 my deal by stmfttr05

May 31, 2009 (6:53 am)

here it is, finally after searching for over 3 months for a truck this is what i got.
 
Dodge Ram SLT Crew Cab 4x4
deep water blue
protection group
big horn package
remote start and security
3.92 axel ratio
5.7 HEMI
chrome side steps
ram box
class 4 receiver
sirius sat radio
MSRP-$43,305
 
after all discounts final price was $32,998
savings of $10,307
 
this was the best i could get and im happy with the price and the truck. the only thing i didnt get was the mygig, which i read is easily installed aftermarket.
sad to say i had to go to another state to get this deal, my local dealer wanted to sell me a truck with half the options for $34,000. so for everyone out there, take your time and you will get the truck and deal that you want.

#385 of 424 Pricing for Dodge 2500 SLT - Diesel?? by brian2009

Jun 03, 2009 (7:49 pm)

I'm looking to buy a 2009 Dodge 2500 SLT Quad Cab, 4x4, 6.7 liter diesel with automatic transmission. The MSRP is $49,320.
What would be a "Good" price to pay for this truck?
The dealer said the lowest price was $37,000.
Thanks for your help.

Take it. I've seen them as low a $35,000 but there may be differences between what you're lookin at and what I'm seeing.

#387 of 424 Current Best Deal on a Ram 1500 by RI32360

Aug 11, 2009 (5:10 pm)

I am wondering what I should expect to negotiate off MSRP for a Ram 4x4 TRX 4 (Off Road). I am in the northeast and I found only 1 dealership willing to take $10,000 off MSRP on a $39,500 truck. Several other dealers told me they were not interested if I was expecting that kind of deal. There are no recent posts in this forum and I am wondering if the days of 12 to 13,000 discounts are over. The 10,000 off that I was quoted does NOT include the 4500 CARS discount. Any other experience would be greatly appreciated. Seems to me the dealers are keeping the prices high knowing that the government is throwing 4500 into the deal.
