Trouble finding a honest dealership to buy Ram 3500

Been trying for weeks now to find an honest Ram dealership within 500 miles of Gatlinburg to buy a new truck. They all end up trying to con you, lie and use dishonest tactics from start to end. I end up on the phone for about an hour each time only to find the price they listed has so many loop holes that after what seems like forever they finally inform you the price is actually much higher. One dealership verified the price on the phone and insured me that was the price I would pay for it to just drive 7 hours to their dealership and simply do the deal and drive home. I demanded him email me everything in writing multiple times. After multiple request for an email he reluctantly sent it and the price jumped $6,000. Good thing I did not drive there cause I would have needed bail money once I got there. Anyone know of a no haggle honest straight forward Ram dealer within 500 miles of Gatlinburg TN? Almost to the point of giving up and keeping what I got. Thanks just needed to rant a little also!

  • I went through a couple dealers that had those come on prices.
    Then I found the same deal at Whitten Bros. in Richmond.
    I asked them, "Is that price only for people whose birthday falls on February 30th?"

    They told me the price they advertise is with discounts and rebates that are available to everybody and if you qualify for more then the price only gets lower.

    I bought from them.
    Just don't fall for the usual paint and rust proofing sales pitch or the third party extended warranty and you will be fine.
