Taking delivery of new ram today, price to pay?*got truck under sticker, all is well!*

[DA Smith]

Just because I am fortunate to be able to **** away $1000 if need be just shows that I make good money and I am good at saving, if they turned around and wanted $5,000 over MSRP I would have been walking elsewhere. No Chrysler product is worth more than msrp.

I'll have to say that no Toyota product is worth even a 50 percent discount

Ahhhhh you are one of those biased ones, RAM or nothing! Not worth wasting anymore time with you here lol, even though it’s a nice way to kill off time at work.

Normally when you make a down payment on anything the final price has already been settled. I understand your desire to special order exactly what you want in a truck, but your confidence that the dealer will adjust pricing to your satisfaction once the vehicle is on the lot is pretty optimistic. They will have all the cards, the truck and your $1,000 so they literally have no risk. I sincerely hope the situation turns out in your favor. Keep us all posted as to the outcome. Good Luck.

He has stated numerous times that he has the truck, and got it for a little less than MSRP.

I updated the title, maybe that will help lol. I understand it’s 13 pages by now but if people scrolled through they would see the outcome numerous times.

Here's a little item I learned when I worked at a Ford dealer for a stint out of college: People who paid the most for a vehicle were always the happiest and most satisfied. It seems counter-intuitive, but I saw it over and over. A 'veteran' sales guy much older than I at the time, who'd 'been around' at a lot of dealers in Tx and other states was the one who brought it to my attention. No meaning to this, just an anticdotal experience this thread reminded me of.

Most people will probably realize later on that they overpaid, and they will not be so happy after.

So I am taking delivery of my new ram classic today which was a special order build, I know times have changed in the past few years but for special orders should I be expecting to pay msrp or is this price something that should still be negotiable. I have a $1000 non refundable deposit down. Wondering the mindset I should be walking in with here. Only other offers I see are $825 or whatever off my classic truck on ram site. Thanks!

Next time; wash the hay seed out of your hair before you buy.

Well, guess I am a Unicorn. I bought the new Dt 5th Gen when they first came out in 2018 August. MSRP was 49K, I paid 41K, with tax and title, traded in MY 15 ED, paid 12,5K cash and ran out the door with title in hand and a Happy BOIRD, LOL.

Pretty good truck for the first model year?

Pretty good truck for the first model year?

For me it has been. The problem with the early trucks is Poor Poor AC. They did not get it sorted out till later models in 2020. But starts, runs, goes point A<B<A, works for me. I just got a lower trim, plain jane radio not all the Bling, just a lowly Bighorn, BUT since it is a driveway princess, all BOIRD need. (And No Friggin E junkola, which is great, IMHO).

I am simple and unsophisticated, but I don’t live in the country with hay in my hair and a rooster waking me up hungover In a filthy wifebeater missing my teeth. Thanks though.
