Dennis Dillon Ram

"$4000.00 will buy 2000 bottles of Trader Joe's wine!! YeeHaw."

Not anymore! "Two Buck Chuck" is now $2.99 per bottle, still a great value.

This place is a lot closer to you, and is a high volume dealer. https://www.31dodge.com/
Also Vernon Auto Group in TX has great reviews.

Again look at the documents you sign. Unless they've been revised from what I signed in 2015 there's not actually any requirement to stay with Chrysler financing for 6 months, and I refied early with no trouble. I'm not sure why they tell people that. My credit union has, or maybe had, a free refi program for new vehicle purchases that had a slightly better rate than I got from Chrysler. Just an FYI you might want to explore.

We just bought a Jeep Cherokee and the documents do state you need to stay with Chrysler Capital for at least 6 months. I also verified that via a phone call to Chrysler Capital and they were really pleasant to deal with. Maybe it's different for RAM, but not sure.

Interesting. Maybe guys like me prompted them to tighten up the language in their loan agreements. It did seem odd to me that there were no restrictions in the docs when I was told verbally I couldn't refinance for a period of time. Since it was the salesman that told me that I figured he was just full of it, as they tend to be about most topics.

Dave Smith did sell and I'm not sure what the pricing will be now.
In 2016, we were looking at a new Ram--believe it or not, Smith didn't have the one I needed, but Dillon and Dishman (Spokane) both had the same truck. I downloaded Dillon's price sheet and after Dishman made their price quote, I asked if they would honor Dillon's print out---Dishman did. That was a $4000.00 price drop!

A few friends of mine here have had good results with Dillon.

in late 16 when I was looking for a new 17 I checked locally as I have in the past and have not had a need to go elsewhere However at least at that time no one local would even come close to Dennis Dillon or Dave Smiths price. I ended up going with Smith as they beat Dillons price by just over $1000 and the locals by over $3500. I flew in and they picked me up at the airport in Spokane drove to Kellogg and was on my way within about an hour maybe 90 minutes at most. More dang trucks in their lot than was population in the town. If needed I would have no problem going with either one. The salesperson I had at Smith was better than the one I had at Dillon in the sense that he responded quicker, and with more complete information with any questions at all. Dave Smith certainly had a good process going went like a well oiled machine.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The Chrysler affiliate program is 1% below invoice plus any rebates. I thought it was a pretty good deal, but DD beat it completely. They were also upfront about the financing. I have to use Chrysler for at least 6 months. If I pay cash or outside financing the price goes up by $1000 which is still much better than I found locally. My local dealer will not negotiate any lower.

You have a high volume discount dealer in your area at:

Dave Smith was bought out, so the pricing may have changed with the new ownership.

How about Peterson in Nampa?
