Sorry but to me this does not compute?
As others have said, the price at Smith starts at invoice less rebates. With other credits and rebates to dealer, they would be "lucky" to make $2000 - $2500 on deal.
So it seems unlikely that a basically identical truck could be $5000 cheaper anywhere.. :h They would not sell at a loss.
They may both be a Ram with a Cummins but for $5000 less, you had to get less stuff if that was really the difference.
Having spent many years in the business I am used to hearing stuff like this and it usually doesn't hold up when invoices/specs are closely compared.
Sorry if it doesn't compute for you, but that's the deal they offered me. Sticker was within $500 on the two trucks at around $51k. Dennis Dillon price was just a hair over $39k before TTD, Dave Smith quote was $44k. The Dave Smith sales guy knew I lived in the Boise area and had been talking to Dennis Dillon, so he may have figured I was a lost cause and threw a high offer at me as a result, but that was my experience. He was a bit of a d!ck to be honest with you.
In total I contacted five different dealerships. The second best offer I got was from Larry Miller in Boise, and I think it was around $1200 higher than the price I got from Dennis Dillon. The sales guy there was a good guy to deal with and I'd have been happy to buy from that dealership, but Dennis Dillon's price was a bit better and they were good to deal with as well.
