Looking to swap to RAM

Well great news! I managed to find a much better truck than what I originally went for. I found a 2017 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Big Horn 4x4 with only 8k miles, it's in great shape, comes with the remaining bumper to bumper warranty plus its certified and comes with a 7 year, 100k mile power train warranty. This thing is practically brand new and originally listed at $44k. I managed to get it for a steal at $28k. It comes mostly loaded minus leather and the full floor console. However, it has the large screen dash, 8.4 uconnect, hemi engine with the 8spd, dual exhaust, well just about everything I could want in a truck. I am picking it up tomorrow and will post pics soon! Looking forward to joining the RAM family!

Here is the listing (it may be taken down soon): Certified Used 2017 Ram 1500 For Sale in Marietta GA | 1C6RR7GT3HS544571

Worst case, here is the build sheet on it: https://www.ramtrucks.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=1C6RR7GT3HS544571

Looks like you found the right truck. Youll feel good firing up that Hemi every day.



Ive owned a lot of GMs but the Mopars are so much more fun and better all around vehicles IMO. Enjoy.

My 2014 was a great truck.

If you are going with the 5.7L with the 8-speed, check to see if the truck has the 3.92 gears. You'll be glad you got them. Have a dealer run the VIN for the equipment list.

I'm curious how you liked your experience at Ed Voyles. Its where I got mine, and for the most part I was happy with the experience. Had to play hardball with the salesman, who seemed offended when I wouldn't just take his price and be done with it. Good looking truck.

Actually it was a very pleasant experience! (mostly)

Now this standpoint is from the used sales part of the dealership.
When I went to them the first time, they mentioned the same thing regarding prices, that the internet price is the final price. I noticed other dealers around the area were similar with that. However, after looking around the area, they had the best price to features around. So I went back to them a second time, and the sales guy was awesome! We started to work out a deal with the truck I just posted Saturday. Well it turned into quite an ordeal. The truck I was planning on buying and picking up yesterday never arrived to the dealership, something to do with transit errors? So long story short, it was supposed to be here today and it still wasn't there. So at this point, I had made three long trips to the dealership and was about ready to give up and try another dealer but the manager decided since I went through all that trouble, he wrote up a new deal. He got me in a better optioned RAM 1500, this time with the full crew cab instead of a quad cab, discounting it to the price of the original that I came for, gave me the entire payoff amount for my Canyon that I was trading in plus some (yay no negative equity!), and threw in a 7 year, 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty! So needless to say, while it started out as a headache, it was well worth it in the end and I ended up with a way better deal! Overall, I'd go back again and it feels good to have that nice shiny RAM sitting in my driveway!

TL;DR - Used dealership sales guys were friendly, not pushy at all. Dealership screwed up the delivery of the truck I was supposed to get and ended up going above and beyond to resolve it to my benefit! Now I have the truck home with me in my driveway and I would definitely would buy from them again!


So for the thread, update, as per discussion above, I have a better RAM! Unfortunately there is no listing online to show you and it's too late to take pictures but I will try and have some uploaded tomorrow
