2. That's probably a good price especially if you like the truck, want the truck, can afford to buy the truck and can sleep at night after you buy it.

3. Never ask if the price you paid was a good one, it wasn't, you paid too much.

4. See #2.
Words of wisdom!

I can't get anyone down under $35,000 for a 08 2500 quad 4 x 4 auto.
I have found some cheap standards but I need my wife to be able to drive it.
No BS if you know some who bought a 08 quad 4x4 auto for under that point me in that direction.( salesperson's name the dealer)

Bonham usually has trucks from the previous model year that can be had cheap. Before I bought mine I almost bought a yellow 05 that had been sitting on their lot for over a year. The price was awesome but I didn't want to go to Texas to get it. Plus I didn't want a short bed......

35K is a decent price. Don't beat yourself up for a few dollars.

When I bought mine I did a lot of looking around and pricing stuff. Knew what I wanted and what I hoped to pay. I might have saved a few bucks going somewhere else but I like the dealer I bought from. Price is one thing, the truck, financing arrangements, dealer, etc. are another. Look at the whole package and then stand your ground.

For as many "deals" ive heard people getting at Bonham, ive also heard just as many "bait-n-switch" stories....
They are owned by the same people that own Greenville chrysler, who I was screwed over by when my fiancee tried to purchase a car from them and we drove 2 hrs for the ole bait and switch

Did you try Rogers Dodge in Alvin? IIRC you live in Pearland? Not to far of a drive. You can figure out the difference but here was my deal..05 QC 6spd std Lone Star with Sport Pkg., bedliner (not sprayed), nerf steps and a couple of smaller options (couple of hundred bucks maybe). It was $29.3 or $29.5k out the door. Add the difference for the 4x4 and the auto......If you can do $35K +ttl.....sounds close. Since I live in the same neck of the woods (alvin) why the 4x4?

They tried to pull a fast one on me too, I live about 25 miles from their dealership. I tried three different times to deal with them but just could not do it. I do know several people that bought their trucks from them and was happy with the deal though, which prompted me to go there first, but I was not one of the happy campers.

I bought a 2500 yesterday from Dave Smith Motors, Kellogg, ID for 10 thousand less than MSRP and 4000 less than edmunds.com "what others are paying". That will buy a lot of diesel.

My family has bought over a million dollars worth of trucks from a single salesman at bonham for the past 12 or 13 years. We get the biggest fleet discount possible down there. The price we pay for trucks is ridiculously low.

I have nothing but good to say about bonham.

"...9 under OTD." Now, that's the most interesting price I've ever seen.
