Dang, that info would've been handy to have before I bought my truck.

 

I am glad I bought mine when I did if they are not giving employee discounts. My uncle got a truck thru my Employee Choice deal, he got as sweet a deal as me except I got an extra 2600 that was part of our contract in September, hadn't used it yet. I put nothing down and financed this thing. If, If I were to go thru the full 6 years I will after taxes and interest will have paid 2000 less than the sticker! To me if you can afford 400 to 500 a month or if you have cash man you can get a sweet deal, and like this truck go get one. Even though gas just jumped up 20 cents a litre....BS summer coming and I just switched to midgrade from 87 Octane. Will go back till price changes and maybe throw only 20 bucks at a time and put premium every third 20 bucks.
Even with gas prices who cares its all fun, we gotta have fun.

 

I'm looking to buy a 2009 RAM at about $49k sticker. However, the May incentitives appear to not even be as good as the April incentives.

I can monitor my dealer's web site and it appears he is not selling. He sells maybe one or two cars a week out of an inventory of about 400 total Chrysler vehicles (60-70 RAMS). He won't deal to my satisfaction and has basically stopped advertising.

I'm now waiting until the "firesale", hopefully this summer.

Does anyone have any insight as to Chrysler sales this month (May), and any future incentives?

 

Last month Chrysler sold about 17,000 Rams - down 30% over last year.

I would suggest not to take the burden of the incentives on yourself but rather put it on the dealer. I bought a Laramie in May - MSRP was 48,215. My discounts, before taxes, etc. was about 20%. I would say you find what deal / price is acceptable to you and then go to the dealer with it. If the dealer can't get even close - walk away.

There is no reason for the sales price of a Ram to be so much higher this month v. last month. The only thing that has changed is that Chrysler has declared bankruptcy.

 

Does anyone know if this article in the Columbus Dispatch is true?

"It will stop reimbursing one-quarter of its 3,200 dealers for rebates and will slash incentive spending in half beginning June 1."

That may have to do with Chrysler getting rid of 800+ dealers tomorrow.

 

segwyo,
Thanks for the incentive info. This is my 1st post. Pretty cool forum. I'm in the military and am about to travel cross country late summer. I'm in the market for a new truck to haul my boat on my trip.

Anyway,
My question is are the current 2010 incentives you listed carried over from the 2009 incentives? The ones you posted are dated good from 05/06/09 to 06/01/09? The "2009" year on the info you posted is what I'm wondering about.

Thanks,

pe

 

You dredged up a year-old post. Yes, the info posted in it is from 2009 and no longer applies. Simplest thing to do is to go to dodge.com and check the incentives available for the truck model you want in your area.
