Well I ordered an '09 Laramie 4x4 QC on wednesday... Now just have to wait for the dang thing to hit the ground! What do you guys think for shipping dates? 6-8 weeks??? You would think where this is the very begining for the new Ram they'd be gettin them out there pronto.

 

I ordered one over 3 weeks ago, it is just now in "C" Status. Your dealer should be able keep you posted. I was told 4-6 weeks, seems like forever to me.....Congradulations on your new truck. What color did you get?

 

What prices were you able to get
for the base truck and
for the options ordered?

 

What is "C status"?? I ordered mine with the Mineral Grey Metalic. Keep me posted on when you get yours!

 

The invoice on my truck wound up being about $38,600 I believe. The markup from invoice to MSRP is just about 11%
Only added a couple options to it... like the tow package, 3.92 axle, protection package, ect, and I got 17" rims and tires instead of 20s - that saved me $500.

I got mine for $100 above invoice, plus the $1000 rebate from dodge - which is an ok deal i think. Theres not a whole lot of dickering that can be done on these special order 09's, especially when they' rather sell you one of the '08s they still have on the lot.

 

Optioned the way I wanted it, MSRP on my 09 RC,SB 4x4 Sport came to just under $36,995. With the $500 factory rebate and 1% below invoice coupon I got at the Ram Challenge I negotiated to approx $31,900.

 

Here is some info from the scheduling sheet. I understand the dealer gets a daily update on all orders.

Scheduled:
C - tentative schedule
D - firm schedule: serial number assigned, approx time in station - 5 days
D1 - gateline: unit sequenced for production, est ship date assigned, Approx time in station - 12 days

F - paint
G - trim

 

Good to know!

 

I ordered mine in Mineral Grey Metallic also (great minds ). I traded in my 04 QC Hemi and it was the Graphite color, I was really happy with that. My 01 QC Sport was Black and yes I forgot about the water spots till you reminded me. Also, the door handles are body color on the 09 Sport now, I really like that. I test drove 2 09's at the Ram Challenge, one was the Mineral Gey color. It was obviously a prototype, it had been repainted several times all over. Only one bed side looked original, there was a fair amount of flake in it and it looked awesome. You are going to like it. I also test drove a QC sport at my dealers this week, it is black and it is absolutely awesome with all the deep gold flake in it...........but I'm not going through that heartache of watching it get all scratched up again.

 

Yeah, I havent even seen the mineral grey in person! Just going off what the old grey looked like. The onlt two '09s ive seen were red and black.
... I cant wait to get my hands on it!
