Checked prices with three local Ram dealers. The closest of which was $3800 more than Dillion and worst was over $5 grand more. The sales dudes look at me like I have 5 heads when I show them what I can get buy this for (assuming all is on the up and up with Dillion). I have told the locals that they don't need to meet the price, just come relatively close. No deal.
Awaiting word back from Dave Smith on a price. Don't really want to go that far out to get a truck but $5 grand is nothing to sneeze at.
The guy I talked to at Dave Smith got kinda nasty when I told him his quote seemed high and he said I must be talking to Dennis Dillon, and I could call him back after I went in and Dillon changed the deal on me.
But when I went to Dillon, no issues. You won't get the "as low as" price because that includes a bunch of real funky rebates that most won't qualify for, the the "sale price" is their non-negotiated best price. Four other dealerships and the closest I got to the Dillon price was about $1200-1400 more (can't recall exactly). Ask your sales guy to pick you up from the Boise Airport and you can get a free ride out to Caldwell - it's about 30-40 minutes west.
Isn't there a pretty high volume Ram dealership in North Carolina? You might check that out. Even if it isn't quite as good a price, it would entail a lot less driving.
You might be referring to Kernersville Dodge. Their prices look to be in line with what I just looked at on Dennis Dillons website. I looked there when I bought mine and couldn't make a deal, nor could a buddy.
I just don't see any dealer selling a new Cummins for less than 40.
