Hi all. New to posting in this forum, but I've been lurking for a few months. I bought my Ram about 2.5 months ago. I traded in a Nissan Frontier. Over at the Frontier forums, there was a thread called "What did you pay for your truck at the dealership?" I didn't see a similar thread over here, so I thought I would start one... It's especially helpful to members shopping for a new truck. Please post the following details:

Mo/Yr purchased:
Buy or lease:
Cash or financed:
Model year:
Model:
Trim:
Cab:
Engine:
Drive:
Transmission:
Other options:
MSRP:
Lease payment, term and down payment (if applicable):
Residual (if applicable):
Interest rate or money factor:
Total price paid including fees, minus taxes:
Percent discounted off MSRP:

Anything else applicable:

Ok, I'll go first.

Mo/Yr purchased: July 2018
Buy or lease: Lease
Cash or finance: Finance
Model year: 2018
Model: 1500
Trim: Big Horn
Cab: Crew Cab
Engine: 5.7L Hemi
Drive: 4WD
Transmission: 8-speed with 3.92 gears
Other options: 32 gallon fuel tank, trailer break control, locking lug nuts. Dealer added MOPAR all-weather mats and a spray in bed liner at no additional cost.
MSRP: $48,135
Lease payment, term and down payment (if applicable): $328.01 X 360 months $0 down payment
Residual: $23,454.80
Interest rate or money factor: 3.72% or .00155
Total price paid including fees, minus taxes: $34,844.71
Percent discounted off MSRP: 27.61%

Anything else applicable: My monthly payment, and therefore total price, includes taxes and interest on the lease portion. For me, the lease was a cheap way to get into the truck. I will exceed the allotted mileage and therefore plan on purchasing at the end of the lease. In fact, I already purchased a Lifetime Maxcare plan : ) I used an annuity calculator to back the interest out of the lease so that I could determine a total price without interest. Even if I had bought (rather than leased) the truck, I would have financed. Here are some calculators I used: https://www.omnicalculator.com/business/discount and http://www.moneychimp.com/calculator/present_value_annuity_calculator.htm.

What he ^^ said...

I love my truck, and am still excited as hell about it, but that's more info than I gave the Credit Union when I got the loan for it ;)

(I paid $22.3k, specs are in my profile, bought it in June.)

My words of advice for would be truck shoppers.

1) Don’t give away your trade

2) Stand firm and be prepared to walk. If the dealer thinks you are in love and have no discipline then why would they give you the best discount?

3) Don’t get ***** in the finance office, outside of the parts counter, the finance office is where the dealer makes bank.

4) Shop around!! Chevy, Ford, and Ram dealers all have one thing in common. $5k-6k swings in price from one dealer to the next. I have experienced it first hand from all three. I couldn’t believe it but they all do it.

My '15 Longhorn was a left over truck...I was shopping for a new '17 and the dealer mentioned that he had a "new" 2015 sitting in the back of the lot.
Sticker price was $52,000 + and I rolled it out the door for $39,200.
I bought the lifetime warranty for $2000.

Purchased in June this year. 2018 2500 diesel Tradesman. Sticker was 53xxx and I got it for 42xxx with a free spray in bedliner. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. I was brutal with the salesman and the finance manager. I didn't give an inch on anything.

Used 2017 Ram Express Quad Cab 4x4, V6, 8spd, 3.21 gears, some options. MSRP was over $38K. I paid $22600+TTL from a GMC/Buick dealer in April 2018. It had 12K miles on it at the time. I would imagine this truck would have sold new for about $29K+TTL.

Financed through a credit union, 2.49% for 60mo.
