Preferred pricing

I just ordered a new RAM 3500 SRW this morning from Ken at Bob Schwartz RAM in Indiana. I am near Columbus, oh. I found about him via a diesel forum.

His approach was straight forward and pricing on the Ram was close to Kernersville and trade was much better. Overall deal was much better. I can't say enough good things about how easy he was to deal with.

His email is indytruckchampion@gmail.com.

I had good luck with the Costco Auto Program. No haggle no hassle - some report doing better. It's at least going to be a decent price, potentially a great price. I paid 39K for a MSRP of 48K. It was a brand new model year also. I think the deals can be a lot better as the model year wears on and the dealer wants to unload vehicles.

X2 on this !

I tried everything I could think of when I was ready to order my 2013 F350 - email to 'internet salesmen' at various local dealers, credit union program, buyer's broker, etc. As a last resort I used the Costco program and was surprised. That's where I got my best price.

I've never paid over invoice for any vehicle I've ever bought new. MSRP on my truck was $45K in 2007. I was able to get slightly below invoice minus any rebates. Dodge had large rebates at the time (Everyone did!). Paid $29K.

Now have 96,000 miles on it and doing great. Don't use it as DD and plan to keep it a long time. Can't afford a new truck at the high prices they're running now!

If you can't get a truck at or below invoice there's something wrong.

Check out Dennis Dillon's website before you buy. You may not want to travel all the way out to Idaho, but maybe you can use it as a bargaining chip. Their "sale price" beats anybody I was able to find, and you don't have to negotiate it - it's take it or leave it. Sticker prices have gone up since I bought last June, but I got a hair under 12k off MSRP on my well optioned Tradesman.
