Does anybody know what incentives dealers recieve on leftover trucks. I am buying a qc long bed cumins auto 2500 4x4 and the normal options no leather or frilly things. It is a work truck. The sticker is 41k what is a reasonable price to pay. Roughly speaking. Thanks for any replies. I'm trying to gauge how much the dealer gets in incentives as I am trading a similar 03 that is a pos. I don't want to be too taken advantage of. Thanks

 

With a bit of fanagalling I bought my 05 in Dec of 04 for 37k Read my sig

see my sig.... 37K....for an 06 MEGA 4x4...Are you really sure you want an 05?

 

JDN, you got any pics of your new megacab, I would love to see one with some bigger tires.

I purchased my '05 last fall, it stickered for 41k as well and I ended up paying 31k and some change for it. If you are willing to haggle you should be able to get it pretty cheap. After all it has been sitting on the lot for some time now...

do any of you live in the north east? It is really hard to haggle around here. Of you that have the 05 are you happy so far? I can't afford to buy an 06 there is no way they will haggle on one. They just do not care. It will sell full price people are kinda dumb around here. I try to shop around but you get the runaround everywhere. Thanks for the replies.

 

You need to get some quotes from the ultra-discount dealers. There's one in Missouri called (IIRC) "Lutz" that sells for below invoice. I bought my new 2006 from Dave Smith Motors in Kellogg, Idaho for ~30% below MSRP, WAY below invoice, and was treated like royalty the whole time. Folks come from across the country to buy from these guys; they have a newspaper story framed on the wall of one guy who rode his bike from California to pick up his truck.

It may sound like a long way, but if it saves you many thousands of dollars it will be worth a few days on the road and some hotel bills.

Seriously - before you do anything else, call 800-635-8000, ask for Alex Martinson (the sales guy who worked with me), and see what he can do for you. At least you'll be making an informed decision. I've steered a couple other people there since I bought mine and they've all come away astonished at the prices they've gotten.

Report back here with your results!

 

I just bought a 05 Cummins 6 speed SLT 4 door short bed. It stickered for 41,805, they took $10,000 off of the price, plus gave me a spray in bed liner. That was the last 05 they had.

 

Sounds like the 2006 I got (see my sig) for $32000 last month. Essentially the same price as you, but one year newer.

 

I bought a 2005 in December for 24995. st, no frills truck, sticker was 33,585

 

If your looking to get a new Dodge ( 05 or 06) call Dave Smith Motors. The call is free and you've nothing to lose. I'm not even going to tell you how much I saved over the local Crook.

 

Oh, come on... tell us! Tell us! [grin]

 

Do your homework online 1st then order it, eliminate all the hassle. I ordered my 04.5. 1st, I went online to Costco and used their buyers service then I matched the prices with those on Edmonds.com to make sure I was good with the numbers I had come up with. I then submitted it via Costco, they then e-mailed me 4 local dealerships that were on their authorized dealership listing. I called each one to get a feeling for each one as to where I stood. While doing so the fleet/internet salesman from the last dealership called me to confirm my request. As I spoke with him I made it known I was'nt down for any BS, he assured me there would be none and it was'nt. I went in verified my options, picked the color, then checked the prices that were quoted, agreed with the deal, shook the guy's hand, put $500 "I do" cash down and waited just over a 6 weeks for the truck to arrive. Picked up the truck 2 days after it arrived because I had the bed sprayed and DVD A/V installed. I spent maybe a total of 1.5 hrs on the dealer lot that includes the pre inspection. Paid just over 30k out the door for a fully loaded SLT.

 

I'll get some pics for ya, when it stops raining and I can clean it.

 

yake ur time i paid 40k for my 04 in dec of 04....oh well
