I took my faithful 2012 Ram 1500 in for an oil change today after work as my dealer actually has a pretty good deal when you buy for at once. You really can’t beat the price. I ended up looking at what they had on the lot and they had a 2016 1500 Big Horn quad cab optioned out exactly as I would want the truck if I bought it new, and it only had 12800 miles on it. Well once I sat in the truck and took it for a drive I knew I wanted it. Bob and Chuck Eddy Dodge Ram Chrysler and Fiat gave me a good offer on my 2012 considering it has over a 150000 miles on it and is a base St with a Hemi. So I got a good deal on the 2016 and ended up getting the lifetime warranty on it also. I couldn’t beat the warrant for what it cost a month. I honestly really loved my 2012 and it has been a great truck. It never left me stranded or gave me any trouble.

While I admit I am somewhat sad about getting ride of my 2012 since it’s been such a great vehicle the 2016 is exactly what I have wanted. My salesman Rick was great to work with as well as the finance lady, who was abley to save me over $20 a month on the warranty. I really hope the 2016 will be everybit as great as the 2012 was.

Nice! Congrats!

 

Erm, I know oil changes are a maintenance item, and it's good to change it regularly, but, don't you think that was just a bit over the top?

Congrats on the new Ride!

 

if your going from a 6 speed to the 8 speed...you will notice the better mpg

 

Well done, i have tried to talk my wife into the same thing with her 2011 but she is car loyal for some reason and prefers to wait 10-11 years and get a new one. We also purchase the 3-4 oil change specials and have lifetime warranty. It's been reliable too although both services have come in handy.
