That seems like a good price to me. I paid that price almost a year ago for my 2013 loaded sport. Had the same window sticker price as yours.

Using the MSRP from your window sticker you're paying about 86.8% of MSRP. I just went through the Costco auto program and paid about 80%. From poking around the "true minimum pricing" dealers on the web I found trucks anywhere from 78-81%

Nice truck, of course, I am partial to Laramie's.

Great looking truck, congrats. Lets hope it gives you better service than the experience you had with your 2013.

Nice Truck! You definitely loaded it up with all the goodies!

How did the sales tax work with trading in your 2013? Did you get a credit or did you have to pay taxes on the full purchase price of the vehicle?

lemon law i got my down payment back of $6500 + my 9 payments i made on the truck got all my taxes and fees for registration back Chrysler had to pay my lawyer $2500 i had to pay for the miles that it worked with no problems witch was 500 miles it was like $150 then i had to pay a rental fee of $500 to use the truck until everything was settled i put like 12000 miles on it i switched my work hours so that i could ride to work with my wife and not use my other ram it sat in my driveway for 7 months without moving so in the end i ended up renting the truck for $650 for almost a year

I had the same thing happen to me. My 2013 Laramie was a lemon. I hired a lawyer and 7 months later chrysler bought my truck back.

Now looking back I got screwed on my 2013 laramie for price when I first bought it. I thought I got a sweet deal, but I didn't.

MSRP was like 48k. Chrysler took 600 from me for a usage fee which I was fine with. I had to give my lawyer 5% of my total purchase price of my first truck.

I feel I got a sweet deal on my 2014 Sport (MSRP $51,350) with everything but Air Suspension and Ram Boxes, out the door WITH a bumper to Bumper warranty for the 6 years for $44,500. They also bought me a brand new Truxedo TonnueaTrax ($650) cover since I got the standard box on my new sport. My shortbox TonnueaTrax wasn't long enough. I just had to give them my old on. All in all my payments are almost $40 a month cheaper and I now have a truck with thats way better than my old one.

I would say you probably could have done better but all in all it doesn't look bad on the price.

Your truck had 784,682 miles on it?!

Yea I used it commercial so I put the mile on it. All highway miles.
The dealer was very impressed with how it looked with that many miles om it. no cracks in the dash, seat still looked new, I had the truck detailed once a month so I keep it very clean and did my maintenance very routinely and only used amsoil products.
They had talked about keeping it and using it for a show piece at the dealership.

It can be seen at Tim Whitehead Dodge in Enterprise Alabama.

That is crazy! If I lived close I would go check it out. What issues if any did you have with it?

Well call it crazy, Here are the pics to prove it back in Jan /13 that I took.

No motor issues, it has never been opened other than valve adjustment.

Replaced hp fuel pump once. 1 set injectors, #4 fuel rail. 2 alt. 1 starter,
1 clutch, 2 p/s pumps, 3 clutch fans, 1 set of u joints.
lots of oil, filters, both gear boxes changed at 75,000 faithfully, motor changed at 20,000 faithfully, with a filter change at 10,000.

Call it crazy, bull, whatever, theres your proof, and you can call Nathan at the dealer hes got the carfax to prove even more.
