Default What to do?

So I am in the negotiation process with a few dealers and I have so far talked them down to $33K for a brand new 07 Big Horn Quad Cab CTD and I am just working out the finals to see which dealership I'm going to go through. What should be the first thing? I maybe taking a trip cross country from the dealer where one of our business offices are back here to California because they are so much cheaper. Any ideas? This will be my first CTD and I am super excited. Never thought that I would be able to buy a new one at 23. Oh well, just wanted to introduce myself and of course I will post pictures of her when I get her.

I'm looking at paying 34k for a 07 TRX4 CTD six speed qc sb. with the aluminum rims, can't remember but opted for the better tires, clearance lamps, block heater. I ordered it just waiting for a call from the dealer to come pciker up. hopefully sooner than later

Call your insurance company and get a qoute before buying it. It may or may not wind up being a deal breaker.

Good luck !!

Mayfair makes a great point about insurance. I insure several vehicles in my household. The Dodge is by far themost exspensive for full coverage! $1416 a year through State Farm on a perfect Driving record. As a contrast the02 MB E320 is $876. Crazy.

Same here with the insurance. Why are the dodges so much more expensive for insurance?

I have no idea.

I remember whenI was 16 and getting insurance. It was 1200, but the guy told me that it would go down when I reached 18. When I reached 18, the guy told me that it would go down when I reached 21. This went on and on for years. I'm 40 years old and my insurance has YET to go 1 penny below 1200.

What a scam ...

Not only the insurance but the property tax is a killer in SC. 900.00effin dollars the first year on my 04, and now its down to 600.00. These ***** dont play in the Carolinas. O, they knocked $10 bucks off for high miles, man what a deal.
