Check this out. This is in the L.A. area - Is this happening in your neck of the woods?

Must be trying to make room on the lot for the 4th gens...

Notice the ad says "1 at this net cost." I know they are offerning huge discounts, but I would guess that's a bait and switch. When you get there they will probably say "Oh sorry, we just sold that one. We are offering deals on the others though."

don't doubt it, the value of all of our trucks has already tanked. i bought mine used 6 months ago, had 20% down, have been making almost double payments, and i'm just BARELY ahead.

yeh if I had sold my truck at the end of last year I could have gotten an easy 12K from it(at auction), now I would be lucky to expect slightly more than half that(at auction). Luckily I owe less than $4000 on mine anyway so I am almost done with less than a year to go.

Gives me more incentive when its paid off to go buy me a new Harley and go back to my 2-wheeled roots and 50+mpg.

I bought mine a little over a month ago and the sticker was 38,9xx. I only gave 25,1xx and they added Dodge chrome tube steps and a $500(their cost) spray in bedliner for free.
