Ram pricing

Just wondering how far below MSRP dealers are selling Rams these days. I'm looking at a 2500 w/Cummins, MSRP around 32k. Wondering what kind of deal I could get.

If you can get invoice you are doing well. These trucks are in high demand and the dealers know it. Plus in alot of areas people are ordering 1-3 months out for the equipment they want. On the other hand, try and find a used one for sale that is equipped well. Good luck on your truck search.

Anywhere from invoice to 3% BELOW invoice is what you should pay for a vehicle you order. For a vehicle off of the lot, I really don't know, but $500-1000 over invoice still provides a tidy profit to the dealership. What part of the country are you in? In California you'll definitely hae to shop around for a deal like this (IF you can find it). See tommeygun first - http://www.newdodgeorderform.com/

When I bought my 04.5 I had gotten 5 quotes from different dealers and this dealer
had called me up one day and told me they had received a truck similar to what I was looking for. When I went in and talked to them about it they beat everybody else
by $700.00 CD (MSRP 52,000 Canadian -Cash price $45,000) So my advice would be
to shop around,get quotes from different dealers and check on the internet at the dealers inventory.

Bare bones stock and only 45 km.........but not for long.

If you take the window sticker price and deduct 10.5% you will be within a few dollars of invoice.

You can Try www.kbb.com or www.edmunds.com for invoice price. I second the Tomeygun advice. I went to St Louis because he would do 3% under invoice. Shawn

You should get at least 15-18% off MSRP.

If the truck is loaded with options you should get 20-27% off MSRP.

Go to this link and search for a post by Cowhand.

Alot of good advice.

2nd time I've recommended that post.

Whoa, that kicks. I am 26 and don't have alot of dough, so a 30k truck is rough on me. If I could get away with 20-25k for a 31k msrp truck I'd be delighted.

Mine was 34.6k msrp, got it for 28.5, no BS, Frontier Dodge in El Reno, OK, maybe could have got it cheaper, but didn't haggle at all. F-150 FX4 with the x-plan price was 31.1k, I was laughing at those guys!
