Default Good deal?

Hey guys, I just wanted to get your opinion on buying a new Ram. I came across this new truck on ebay:

2004 1500 Quad SLT 4x4
link

Is this a good deal? Do you think that is the rock bottom price, or could they still go a little lower? Thanks in advance for your replies....

That was the Buy It Now price. It is a dealer here in NC that is not too far away from me. I just wondered if that was the absolute rock bottom price. Of course according to them it is, but has anyone done better?

well the guy doesn't have a lot of feedback, sure the four feedbacks he did get were positive, but he could have gotten four friends to make bids on other faulty auctions of his, then pretend to send money and give him great feedback. I've been scammed out of $800 dollars on rims before by a guy doing the same thing. Its a risk.

Thats a good point coolguy. This is acutally a dealership. I have been there before, but never purchased from them. I have noticed that selling brand new vehicles is becoming more and more popular on ebay. So, I think they can be trusted. I am just wondering how good of a deal this is.

You could do better by going to the local dealer and haggling.

If they really want to sell it, they'll come down on the price...

Bottom line is do your research on the vehicle you want. Price it online as sticker and invoice. Find the one you like, or decide what you want and have then find one that is close and go from there. I personally don't try to get into the "hold back" money, but i'll decide like $100 over invoice. Oh yeah. Always play one dealer against the other. Good luck.
