Re: New diesel F250 in NJ?
Back from test drive of that 2017 CPO. Nice truck but the dealer is firm on the price. Actually they are asking for a few grands more than the "Internet price" if you are not financing. Keep looking.

The 2018 Laramie stocks are going away but I found one 2017 Laramie certified pre-owned with 35k miles on it. The dealer is asking for 47,999 which I would definitely try to negotiate about. But do you think 2017 RAM 2500 diesel is good? Mainly looking for a stable towing vehicle for the family and don't want to spend too much time fixing things. :) No issues there save for normal cautions buying used. Know what you're looking at/for and buyer beware. By comparison, you can buy a brand spankin new Laramie 2500 2018 for $55k, so there's that. Used prices are still high in this economy.508Views0likes0CommentsRe: New diesel F250 in NJ?

First of all thanks to all providing the information in this forum. Even before I registered for an account I've learned a lot. So thanks! The knowledge in the forum seems to agree that diesel is better at pulling stuff (more comfortable/confident). I was about to pull the trigger to get myself a RAM 2500 diesel as they said they have the clearance sale for the 2018 models. But the stocks are way too limited here and I also feel like the payload on RAM 2500 diesel is kind of limited after the diesel engine takes up the extra weight. So I am now checking out Ford F250 diesel. The problem is there are not many F250 diesel available in my area (northern NJ). All I need is a diesel Lariat with as few extra options as possible. The dealers within 100 miles are only willing to give out 3000 to 4000 discount off a 68,000 msrp 2019 F250. The dealers in Baltimore seem more generous (about 6000-7000 off the same msrp). I wanted to know where to get a new diesel F250 in my area. Should I really drive down to Baltimore to shop or even fly to Florida and get one from the volume dealer? Or better off to just custom order a new one from the local dealer? What's your experience/suggestion? The local dealer does have a certified 2018 F350 diesel platinum asking for 64,000+... but F350 vs F250 is another question then...2.9KViews0likes19Comments
