So last night I walked into a local dealer here in nebraska asking for a reg cab express short box 2wd (which are not in high demand like in southern states) so kinda hard to come by. So the salesman shows me a work edition v6, I tell him this is not what im looking for and laugh a little. Then he throws the typicall salesmen pitch of "step inside well look for it." So they do a quick search and get a me the truck I want.

2012 ram express RCSB 4x2 loaded!!!
- white in color what i wanted
-evic dash and trailer control( the only way i wanted an express)
-remote start and power locks (like the mercedes style key)
-3.92 gears
-3 years of free oil changes (dont really care but its nice)
-then all the other basic options for and express

After searching cars.com for a month straight this is the cheapest I could find an express with all the options i want for less then $23K

SO the final number out the door is $21,275 w/ doc fee retail is $26,***. Do you guys think its a good deal?

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Especially for around here. Does it have a trailer hitch and limited slip?

Sounds like a great deal! I paid $20,050 for my 2011 Express. But is has NO options, crank windows, no EVIC, no power nothing (other than under the hood).

I'd jump on it.

yup, a good buy at just over $21,000. i paid $20,894 and 6 oil changes, and these take synthetic, which saves you about $50 per oil change...

not clear on the hitch but I know it does have ani-spin diff added on for 325 which is a plus.

lol I was just trying to get a good deal and this is the best deal i could find any where now. I told him 21K just bsing because I thought he couldnt do it,but he came back right away saying we have a deal hassle free and a good price with all the add ons.

Welcome, sounds like a good price

Thanks man, I cant wait.

Sweet! I just know I've bought a couple different trucks in the past without limited slip and I kicked myself the entire time I owned them for not getting one with it.

Trailer hitch is easy enough to add later if you need it.

As of right now i havent even seen the truck lol but yes I am getting it. Its suppose to come off transport today and Im at work for 4 more hours. I am financially ready wuth the loan part taken care of and my down payment cashiers check is with me all day lol. So I have to go to the dealer in a couple of hours and see if its exactly how I want it,then sign the papers and drive.

as a final push, ask them to pay for window tint.....for free...most have a guy that comes in and does them for cheap, 1/3 of what you would pay....push it on the final 'sale', they'll go for it. ;)
