Wow that's cheap...was it with a hemi? Hell being an 08 it doesn't really matter...the 4.7 is pretty stout

 

it was the 4.7 he bought.

 

Not trying to rub salt in the wound, but I picked up my '08 Ram 1500 Quad Cab w/the 4.7L for just a tad over $22k. The sticker was $34,685. The salesman cut an immediate $2500 off the top, plus $6000 in dealership incentive, $3000 for what he called the "mid-atlantic market discount," and another $1000 was cut b/c we financed through Chrysler.

The only thing we did upfront was put down a grand to cover tax/title/processing. Payment is right at $400/month, and that includes an extended warranty for 6 years / 72k miles, and gap insurance.

It was great to get such a good deal, but I definitely sympathize with what the TS is talking about. I was originally shopping for a used Ram, and one of the better condition ones on the lot was an '05 w/over 60k miles on it. They wanted $19,500 for it. I'm sure that's fair market value, but when the dealers are unloading new models for only a couple grand more, I couldn't just turn away from that.

 

If you read the fine print, the 40% off is for 2wd QuadCab trucks.

 

I live in VA and two weeks ago, I purchased my first Dodge. I've always been a Chevy fan, but I fell in love with my 07 Dodge 2500 Quad Cab 5.9 diesel. I used current incentives to get a better deal on my slightly used Dodge with 17K miles. My credit union called to confirm that my truck was indeed a diesel because they said I should have paid $10,000 more than I did. I saw the specials and I called a coworker who ended up buying a new 08 Dodge quad cab with a 5.7 hemi and it was loaded for $25k. The sticker on the truck was just over 40K. The 4x4 were in fact 40% off in my area.

 

I guess it is up to the dealer on price. The nationwide ad on tv says 2wd QC.

They are doing what they can to sell trucks. I guess it's better to make a few bucks on alot of units than to make more money on fewer units and be stuck with them.
There is a dealer down the street from me that has a couple of brand new 2007 models still for sale. They added bling-bling wheels and stuff to them and nobody wants them for way too much money.

 

Local dealer here in Fl. has been offering 50% off list since July 4th weekend, ALL 1500 & 2500 gassers except Mega Cabs...

 

They are going to sell the trucks for what the current market will allow. All these yuppies from the city want a massive 4 door diesel 4x4 so that they can look like billy badass, which makes the price of a diesel all the more expensive for the folks who actually need it. Supply & demand at work. As of now, the supply is outpacing the demand, so they are having to give deep discounts to move the trucks. I paid $21,489 for my 2007 4.7L SLT regular cab last August. I'm sure I could get the exact same truck, if not better for a few grand less right now.

 

You could get it lower than a few grand now-a-days, I bought mine brand new last November for 16.5k...and that's before gas really shot up.

 

I just got 08 QC 1500 Laramie for 13k off sticker, with drivetrain warr and lifetime oil changes and state inspections. It was too much too pass up.
