I have been looking for a 2005-2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4.
Here is Arizona the going price for a 2005, on average with same options, from $34,000 - $39,000.

A used 2006 in AZ has been going for $40,000 - $45,000

I started looking in the Midwest and the prices dropped ALOT!
I have seen MANY 2006 models, loaded, with under 1,000 miles going for $35,000!!

Why is there such a dramatic difference. If that is the case, I would rather drive east and get the truck for $5,000-$10,000 cheaper...

Am I missing something????

Just for reference, the states in the mid-west that have less expensive pricing, so far have been:

Missouri
Oklahoma
Ohio
Wisconsin
Illinois

2500CTD

Dont try Oregon. I found that it seems the way of thinking here is its what you pay not what you get for your money..........C.O.L. seems way higher up here. They have no sales tax, so they make sure and hike every thing up to cover their loss.

TEXAS!!!!

specificly Bonham Chrysler... they move more rams than any other Texas dealership, and Texas is a pretty big state

I just built a LOADED out the wazoo 06 2500 long bed quad cab 4x4 with cummins, 6spd, LSD, premium cloth, pimp daddy stereo with Sirius blah blah blah.

$38365 invoice. Incentives right now are 4000$ unless I am reading the website incorrectly. You get another $500 for Farm Bureau.

I just like playing with the Dodge truck configurator on Yahoo

Everything seems high in AZ, insurance, lices, registration.
Check Dave Smith in Kellog Idaho for good truck prices.

If you buy a new truck out of state, do you have to pay sales tax, or is it waived?

I heard that some people buy out of state to avoid sales taxes.

RAMRODD

When I baught out of state I did not pay sales tax in that state. You pay it in the state you live in. No way around it that I know of don't pay sales tax, no licence
