My truck and $14,800 out the door

I think this is a great deal

what did you have to do - give them $1 for every mile on your 2011? LOL

Sounds like a decent deal to me. Welcome to the CTD club

Still pondering on what to do. Mine is paid for and I really don't want another monthly payment, but it seems like such a good deal and they are giving me top dollar for my truck and still taking off over $10K on the new truck.

I agree that payments suck but financing $15k is not all that bad. I got a similar deal when i traded in my '09 for my '12. It was paid for as well and wasn't looking for another payment but now that I have it... It is worth every penny to me.

When I purchased in 2012, getting 10k off the MSRP of a 2500 (SLT trim or higher) was very, very common. So the price for the 2500 isn't bad at all.

Picked it up late this afternoon. Drove it back 120 miles from the dealer to home, you couldn't wipe the smile from my face. That thing has so many buttons and stuff, its gonna take me awhile to figure it all out.

Congrats!!!!! I was the same way when I brought mine home
