Does anyone have any leads on where to get the best prices on a 2005 Cummins 3500? They are ghastly expensive, even when I checked a dealership in the "country" with little overhead. I have a friend who used to work for Chrysler and even with an employee number she can give me, they are ghastly expensive. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Eileen

 

I've heard tomeygun has the best prices. You might want to send him a PM

How about the big link on the main page for Newdodgeorder? That's Tomeygun he's in St Louis he gave me the best deal I could find. I bought my truck ther and I live in Virginia.

 

Hi MedicShawn, I wrote a reply to this before but it's not there, so I'm kind of confused. That dealer is near my house. The price there is not any less than the employee discount. I think it's a lot. I emailed this man and we'll see if something changes. But this isn't a new thing for me--I know that place.

MedicShawn, what color truck did you buy? When I was there looking one day in Nov., someone had flown in to get a red truck. He was next to me in the parking lot looking it over carefully.

Thanks, Eileen

 

I don't thonk you're going to find a better deal than the employee discount. Here's my truck info:

2004.5 Cummins 600 With 6 Speed Black Sport Quad Cab 2500 Laramie LWB 4X4 4.10 Tow Package Side Air Bags LOADED!!! I even got buttwarmers!!!!!!! Line X Rockers and Bedliner. UWS toolbox. Dipricol FP Boost EGT Autometer cubby hole mount. Another Tomeygun Special

 

Actually, I have been told more than once that one does BETTER WITHOUT the employee discount, and WORSE WITH it. I haven't gotten serious with anyone because I still have unanswered diesel questions (mostly pac brake questions), so I don't know how much things can change.

Thanks, Eileen

 

MedicShawn, would you feel comfortable telling us what you paid for your truck? Or perhaps how much under the MSRP?

Thanks, Eileen

 

Yes please do, my father will be buying a new truck soon, and i making sure its a cummins dodge

Thank you,
Dom

 

Eileen.......I would check your local papers and maybe make some calls. If you can't get what you want in St. Louis, then it may be worth a trip to the Dallas Area. There is plenty of stock here and the dealers will deal. You could fly here and drive your new truck home.

My truck listed for about $42,000 and I paid about $33,000 for it. That included a spray in bed liner. You should be able to get in the neighborhood of $9,000 off or maybe better.

There probably is no reason to order one, if you can find a dealer with plenty of stock. But, make sure that your truck comes with the Flip-Out Tow Mirrors. I don't know why any dealer would NOT order them automatically, but I have seen some without them. IMHO...that is a mistake. They are well worth the cost.

 

Thank you. I'm going to continue to work on all this. Tomorrow I plan to research the Pac brake issue on a new Dodge Cummins. I may email you if I end up wanting to check out Texas. You aren't the first to tell me to look for a truck in Texas.

Thanks again, Eileen

 

Give Dave Smith Motors http://www.usautosales.com/newrigs/Dodge/ in Idaho a try. Folks from all over the country buy them there, they claim to sell more Dodge trucks than any dealer in the US. Even if you don't buy from them you can use their prices as a bargaining chip at other dealers.

 

I heard the dealer near you will sell them for 3% under invoice. Thats about as good as it gets.

 

I don't understand the difference between invoice and MSRP. Eileen

 

Iv'e never bought from these guys but I go to their site now and then to check prices and inventory.

Thanks to both of you for giving me the websites to check out. I sumitted a request for a quote on the one in Idaho and I'm going to the other one now. It helps to have more than one resoursce to check! Thanks again, Eileen
