The Ram Dealership Says My '19 Laramie 3500 Dually is Worth $59K. What is it Really Worth?

The dealership system is kind of screwed right now. They have to lowball even more than they used to because of old stock they WAYYYY over paid for. Check out this truck :

They're selling it for 99,999 because they have no real choice, they probably paid close to 80k for it a few months ago. I was going to trade into one, and I just happened to be at THAT dealer, they would not budge a single penny on that price lol.

I'd go private party!

That's priced that high so the sales manager can buy it cheap when it sits for a few months on the lot lol

That is beyond ridiculous pricing. I bought a 2021 2500 Latamie pretty much loaded for 63,000 all in including tax, here in Canada. We pay more than you guys in unadjusted for exchange dollars. Even with an extra 9 grand for the diesel it would have been 72,000. No idea how they can think that truck is worth 100 grand in the States.

I paid 82k for a fully loaded Laramie (2022) from a dealer down the road from the one where that white 99k one is. The one for 99k had some new ones in early 2022, but they were all 15k over MSRP.

I guess.. that seems a little strange, it's still a valuable truck, and with inventory only just starting to come back, I feel like moving every unit would be the go to strategy when you're stock is full of 2015 trucks lol.

Wow! $99K for a used Laramie? Dang.

The truck I traded to Granger for my new truck was an 18 2500 pretty well loaded up Laramie. Megacab, Ramboxes, 44K miles, Cummins, 4x4, very clean with newer Michelin tires. I figured it'd fly off their lot. I checked several times and I bet it took 2 months for it to move. And they reduced the price to pretty close to what they gave me in trade. Yeah, yeah, I know the trade in value game. But still, it indicated to me that the used market was slowing down. That truck would not have sat a week last summer.

Edmunds states CarMax is interested and the Estimated Offer Range is $56,272 - $68,586. I only paid, new $64K--a year end clearance and I bought it on the last day of the month.

In 2015, CarMax paid me $2,500 more than the dealership offered me on trade. They cut me a check on the spot and I took an Uber home. LOL

IMHO, you should at least visit a CarMax dealership and see what kind of written offer they give you.

Any vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Doesn't matter what any book or list states what it's worth.

...and there is the effect from local market that could be lower or higher than the national average.

Carmax.....I drove in a couple weeks ago and was offered $12000. Got called back a week later and offered $17000.......SO which is it?

I would go on some of the sites like Carvana. They will tell you just what they will pay cash deposited in your account. Even if you don't want to sell, it's good info. Not long ago I was offered just about what I paid for my 2019 new. However prices seem to be getting more realistic than they were.
