friend of mine called me the other day, he called asking about my dodge, i told him he needed to buy one, now he is checking prices and getting scared. He told me he went and looked at a new cummins 3500 dually lariat, he said they told him 48k, is that really the going rate. what should he expect to pay for one?

 

Come up here and look at the prices and it wont seem to bad. Looked on sunday SRW 3500 64k, 2500 cloth interior 45k.

 

Yep.... up here too you could push that puppy over 50G.

 

48k could easily be sticker, but he should be able to get at least 10k off that unless he takes the special financing. Also, as a side note, lariat is Ford and Laramie is Dodge.

 

34k to 38k around here

 

With fuel prices the way they are, won't they settle for $30k?

 

All the trucks took a big price jump with the new styles and emissions. I picked up my 07 classic for $36??? brand new and I'm glad I did. The new trucks are a rip off.

 

Hmmm...let's see:
- Dodge has a 109-day supply of 2008 Rams (60 days is ideal), and dealers say they're struggling to unload them
- Sales of full-sized pickups fell 22.1 percent in April from the same period a year ago and are down 16.6 percent for the first four months of 2008
- The Ram was the most heavily discounted vehicle in the US last month: an AVERAGE of $8,260 per vehicle
- In CA some dealers are advertising up to $13K off sticker.

My crystal ball says that your friend should shop around for a deal...he won't have to look very hard.

 

i have a single cab 3500 dually with 13,500 on it will sell for 27,988

 

I just got my 2007 last month with 2,945 miles on it for 27,500 @ a Dealership (sticker was 42,300)

i was quoted 34,400 for the same truck (2008) "brand new" (sticker was 42,800)

the only thing mine doesnt have that the 2008 had was the powerslider
