Default Any coupons floating around?

Want to buy the wife a Ram, dealer's down $10k on a $44k truck but looking to use a owners loyalty coupon on top, as most of you seem to think trucks should be $12-$14k off right now,- are there any around for this month?

That's a bit much of a discount. There doesn't appear to be any dealer incentives so that would take away $1-2,000 that people were getting. So realistically, I'd say you're looking at about $10-11,000 off sticker unless they come out with a model end closeout which seems kinda unlikely given that there aren't many vehicles on the lots.

I don't think there are any loyalty rebates at this time. If you belong to a Credit Union, there looks to still be the $500 rebate till the end of the month for financing a Chrysler product though one. The program is called Invest In America.

If you are looking at a 2010, then this info would not apply.

I would also say that 10k to 11k off is pretty good right now. If it is the one you want then I would not let it get away, you have a good deal setup.

The incentives definitely aren't the same as back in Feb. I would push for at least 11k off though. Have the dealer apply a bigger discount.

I've tried, bastards won't go any lower, said they are loosing $900 already, this must be the common quote, -I'm sure they are all loosing money that's why they build them big *** show rooms and structures and celebrating 50 years in business cause they are all loosing money and just want to us a favor by lowering prices, blah, blah... I hate 'em!!

I have a good friend who is about to pull the trigger today on a Ram and he's at $11,977 discount off sticker. That includes the rebate, dealer cash, all 4% of the holdback, military discount, credit union discount and whatever else they're using to get the price down. Given the lack of selection of '09s and the low production quantity compared to the normal vehicle, you'll have a hard enough time just trying to find what you want right now. Remember too, the 2010s lose the lifetime powertrain warranty so if you're at $10K or more off sticker that's not bad. Just my $.02.

If they're doing 10K off, and promised to kill any processing fees (usually $500) then I'd get it. Like others have said, there isn't any golden options coming for the 2010s and the loss of the Lifetime Warranty would push me scrambling for an 09 if I hadn't just gotten mine. If it's got all the options you're looking for, I'd say feel like you're getting a good deal, buy the truck, and start enjoying it.
