I've been reading on here for awhile and like the fuel mileage, the prices we paid for our trucks seem to be all over the place. I figued we could post where and how much we paid for our trucks to see where the best area is for buying a truck. I'll start -


2005 Dodge Quad Cab - Bright White work truck with 4.7 and auto and I had the cruise control added.
$17995 plus TT&L

Traded in an 01 Cherokee which broke even with what I got for it so I put 0 down.

This was a base truck - vinyl seats/rubber floors/17" steel wheels/no power locks, windows or seats (hey, it's what my wife wanted. I have my Jeep).

Factory style add-on's since I got the truck:

Stock CD head unit to replace tape player (took from 05 Unlimited when I upgraded the Jeep's system - plug and play!) - free
Bed Liner - $165
Bed Caps - $45
OEM style tow package - $125
3 pc Bug Shield from Ebay - $45
17" stock chrome wheels - NIB from Ebay - $125

Bought in Terrell, TX at Randall Noe (I DO NOT recommend unless you use your own financing from a credit union or bank)

 

I bought mine on long island back in February.

2004 Ram 1500 Sport appearence package purchased December 2003. Reg cab 4x2 Hemi SLT cloth, power locks/windows/seat CD radio all that jive with slider window tow package limited slip and 20 inch wheels and factory bug deflector that came off in a car wash...twice. Out the door CASH (I think this helped me bargain) for 23,500 bucks. Downers Grove Dodge. I would recommend them due to their having a lower STICKER price than what I could talk other Chicago West Suburban dealers down to. Oh yeah they gave me a Car-Max matching 2,000 bucks on a 95 Dodge conversion Van with a 318 in it and like half a million miles on it. --Kevin
