New dakota lurker
You gotta go into a potential deal with a higher than this number, if you go thru a dealer. They will most of the time bend over backwards to make a sale. I got a free box liner, and 4000.00 off the price. Which was a lot for an st modle. Shopping around helps to, so you say they will give it to me for this much.
I almost got violent with my salesman. I looked at my truck and it was priced at $14,890. It had 83,XXX miles on it and was a v6. No bed liner and a crooked front bumper. Salesman said $14,000 was the best he could do. I got "mad" and asked if it came with a chauffeur and free gas for a year, he said no. I said for 14k Give me a bumper to bumper 5 year warranty and 10 free oil changes. He again declined. I then told him I was going to another dealership with better service and asked to speak to his manager. I told the manager he was a pr**k and blah blah ( I lied to the manager). Got the truck with a free bumper to bumper 5 year warranty for $9,2xx everything included.
I bought her on Dec/2008 and the sticker price was a tad lower than $33k. when out of the facotry so by buying her a year old i saved almost $18k..
There are good trucks out there, you just need to keep an eye open....
Good Luck!!

It seems as though I'm the only one that was dumb enough to buy a brand new Dak...with a V6, thinking it would be ok.
The rear brake was seized right up and dragging the tire down the road. The dealership/warranty doesn't include towing or normal wear and tear items(brakes and it is 47 miles to the dealership with a $3 per mile rate) and there is a $200 Deductible. I need the truck tomorrow and they don't have any pick-ups available. I got the parts and did it myself and saved $.
