Total Price of This Vehicle $34,610.00 $39,170.00

$34,610 is the invoice price of it. So what can I expect to really pay. I want to get the $1500 cash back, $300-500 business discount, and $500 repeat DC customer discount.

But I would also like to finance it for 36 months at 0% APR...

How is everyone else paying for theirs?!

GO WITH THE CUMMINS! ;D....I have a 02 quad cab H.O., 6-spd, long bed, 4x4, sticker price was 38k, I chewed on em for a bit and only paid $31515.00 - the factory rebate of $1000.00 and - the dealer rebate of $500.00 I ended up paying only $30,015.00 for it. Go for the diesel. ;D

Paid for in cash full on the spot. Dealer about crapped him self!

I want to try to get this ordered by 3/31/03 so I can get some good incentives (although I think they will just keep continuing them with this nasty economy)... I would definitely consider flying out and driving back to the right dealer, although unfortunately Alaska might be a little far for me (6000+ miles!).

Don't forget that if you are in business you can take $25,000 depreciation off the first year if your truck weighs 6,000 lbs or more. This will save you about $7,500 first year in tax savings in 30% bracket. I bought my 2003 with $2,000 dodge rebate, and another $500 farm bureau rebate and $250 under invoice at Durham Dodge, Kilgore, Texas. Talk to Robby Huey Jr and tell him you want the same deal. I ordered 2/4/03 and took delivery 3/12/03. I love the truck.

<br><br><br>Anchorage Chrystler Dodge, They had a killer blowout sale last summer, but still give great deal's all the time. There service dept. has been great! Very surprising for a dealer, or maybe I have been lucky!

It's coming down to crunch time (3/31/03) so I am trying to get this sorted out. <br><br>I live in NJ, but I'd like to buy the truck from a dealership that is outside of the &quot;northeast&quot; region but not in the &quot;texas&quot; region either. These 2 regions add on $320 for unknown reasons (advertising or some bs?). <br><br>However, I also want to find one of the regions that offer $2K cash back, not just $1500. <br><br>Right now, there's an ADDITIONAL $500 off on top of the $1500/$2000 for regular cabs. So, I am thinking I might end up getting a regular cab, since it is more in my budget to begin with.<br><br>So, does anyone know any regions out in the USA (anywhere, really, but east is preferable).<br><br>Thanks again everyone for all of your help. I hope to driving a cummins sooner rather than later.

I talked to DC incentive and rebate center yesterday and they told me that you get the rebate for the area that you live in no matter where you order your truck.I sure was glad to hear that because my area offers a $2000.00 rebate and where i ordered my truck it's $1500.00.Hope this helps

How about giving one of our advertisers, Maczuk a shot at a quote?

Oh, don't forget your $500 Farm Bureau discount. My son lives in NJ, and got his discount.

Sorry for the never-ending stupid questions but does anyone know if you can put a full box on a RAM 2500 or 3500 with the pick up box delete option.... or is this something that you order from the factory or what? I'm looking for the ability to put a 12' box on the back.
