If you've never been there, it is worth seeing a huge dealership like that.
First car dealer I have ever seen that has a restaurant inside the business.
We arrived, and first salesman we ran into, told him what I wanted to look at. So we go outside and lady driving a Chrysler van shows up. We all pile in and across town we go to the lot where all the Ram 2500/3500's were located. Guess that is all the lady does. Ferry customers/salesmen to the various lots where the vehicles are located.
OMG, could not believe how many trucks they had there. The area for just the 2500/3500's was about 3/4 the size of a normal Wal Mart parking lot, full of trucks. Did I say choices were large????? :B And these were just the Rams! They have another lot alongside I-90 east of the dealership for the GM trucks they sell.
Oh, and the flying part???? They've got another shuttle van. The only thing it does is go back and forth to Spokane, Washington to pick up folks flying in to look at vehicles there.
Spokane is, oh guessing here, but maybe an hour west on I-90.
Mind you, I fought hard to NOT buy a new truck. :B Yeah, right! But every excuse I could give as to equipment needed and lacking on the new truck was answered with "we sell that here, we'll install for you"!
So new Truxedo cover, new Torklift frame mounted tie downs for my truck camper. They removed the Torklifts from my old truck, so now I have a good set for a Ford sitting around.
No, they want to SELL!
NADA value on my 2011 Ford F 350 dually King Ranch was in the 43,000 range. They gave me, drum roll please: :B
$53,000 for it! Course I was dealing on a Laramie Longhorn Limited, since if I was gonna replace, it better be the same trim level or better.
Go visit Dave Smith. Oh, and please don't look at their SlingShot conversion Rams they have there.
Oh are those NICE trucks! They even said they could do that for my dually. But I took it as it was.
Here's a link for the SlingShot Ram if you're wondering what I mean:
