FF is 1-2% back of invoice, the EAP is 5% back of invoice and you get the Dodge rebate.

I got the EC with $2500 additional off, saved about $10000.00.

My dealer told me DC is allowing employees to give one EP to someone other than relatives. If you know somebody that works for DC you might Check this out.

One other thing about useing the employee number is that the dealer HAS to show you there original invoice IF YOU ASK. that way you know for sure your getting the price your supposed to. NO HAGGELING NEEDED!

WOW! That sure is a lot of savings. Do you know if they are honoring fp price for ep price for the rest of the year? I've got a number for fp price which I understand is 1% under invoice. Anyone heard what they will offer for incentives after march?

My 2003 3500 had an MSRP of $41.4K and I only paid $33K without special discounts.

On the FP program my truck was $32k OTD sticker on this truck was $37k of course in California we get to pay 8.5% sales tax and registration was $487. so that put about $3k on the discount price.

I sure like the sounds of these savings. I spoke to a dealership about 40 miles from me this morning. The salesman told me they gladly participate in this employee price program. He said if he didn't have it on his lot, he would order it for me. Also told me this price amounts to 1% under invoice minus rebates and the farm bureau discount. I read a post on here a while back about some people buying around $1100 under invoice. You say you pay 8.5% sales tax in cal. ? I pay 8.75% where I live.

All I can say is I'm glad the Governator repealed the tripling of registation fees or they would be $1461 to register this truck.

Okay, this was supposed to say "without" special discounts. I didn't have an employee plan or anything.

I edited the original message to fix it.

FYI - EP plans & certificates

Just so you know, the Firends & EP plans can not be combined with any "certificate" programs, such as Farm Bureau.

All national/regional REBATE & FINANCE incentives still apply. Dealers have a list of the certificate plans that are "incompatible" with various other incentives.

I got the FF on my 01.5 had to drive to San Francisco from San Diego to get a right truck and find a dealer who will honor the FF...

I found my 04 doing a search of the dealers in my area of the truck I wanted by using www.dodge.com, then called if they will accept the FF.

I let My fingers do the walking.

To save 10k I would have gone anywhere to get the right truck, shipping for cali to Indy is only around 700 bucks.
