That's why they call em stealerships!
You can get a brand new loaded Bighorn for $50k easily and a Laramie for $54-55k. Add another $2600 for the Aisin, but dun I if the one you looked at was. Odds are 68 rfe.
Good for you walking out. Yes people pay the inflated prices every day. That's why the dealer would t budge. Either need to find one they've sat on forever, or the most gawdawful color or just buy a new one from a volume dealer and be done with it.
If you plan on the convienence of trading, plan on paying to do that. Car shopping is no differnet now than any other time in history.
If you have a sweet 06 diesel, it would pay ALOT to sell it outright. Somewhere between 5-10k over what the stealer will offer you.
