Dealer won't deal. There supposedly aren't any rebates on the diesel and they want to sell it to me for invoice plus $200. Not going to work. Then they want to bend me over the desk on trade...

Very close on an Outdoorsman Hemi!

**myoung84** · 04-23-2014, 05:28 PM

And it's ordered!

details!

**myoung84** · 04-23-2014, 09:52 PM

You can have details in 6-10 weeks! Haha.

Just kidding. Went with a monotone granite Outdoorsman, Hemi, 4x4, and 6' bed. Only options I added were comfort group (heated steering wheel and seats), backup cam, center console, 8.4AN, and trailer brake controller. 3.92 gears, LSD, and remote start are standard. Didn't add the extras like rambox, sunroof, air suspension, etc.

Typical car buying transaction, told them I wasn't in a hurry but would like to see what they can do. I honestly wasn't expecting to buy a new truck today, just wanted to look at the SLT interior more than anything. They had just gotten a 2wd Laramie diesel in and we're eager for me to test drive it. Sure I said! I was really impressed but the numbers just didn't work out. There are no rebates available (despite the Ram website saying so) and the price ended up being about $6k more. Not worth it for me. If it would have been just the $2850 for the engine adder I would have ordered it.

So I rejected the diesel option since I knew we would be too far off and settled on the Hemi. I sent the poor salesman back about 5 times and they finally gave me an offer I was happy with. Ended up with about $8k off sticker and $33k trade in. Trade is a bit low still but that's honestly a fair deal. I still have 8 or so weeks to sell it though. Everything except the wheels and tires are coming off the power wagon. Glad I save my stock parts! All in all, I won't come out too bad.

So, now we wait...

That's awesome Morgan! Glad you were able to get something you wanted man. I can't wait to see this bad boy.

I was glad I got the 32k for my truck.. They nickel and dime'd me but I didn't want to out right sale... Was looking to get out of it fast! lol

Congrats man. So you're pulling the whole carli kit off?

Congrats Morgan! I like that when you order you can get "trade-in" but still have the ability to sell your truck outright. If you sell it, great! If not, not a huge deal.

Yep, I really like this method. I don't think I'll be able to not order my vehicles now. It's just seems like the best way to go. You get exactly what you want and don't have to worry about what's been done to it on the dealers lot. I beat the shit out of that diesel and the salesman was telling me to go harder. Lol.

And everything is coming off the truck except the wheels and tires. I'll replace the lift Springs with a spacer so the tires fit and I've already ordered a used etc of quads from Jeremy to replace the headlights.

spiffy man! shame you don't know anyone looking to swap the interior parts, power'd bumpers........but hey, thats what 8-10 weeks is for eh?

**myoung84** · 04-24-2014, 05:24 PM

Any of you local guys want to swap stock dash parts for my diamond plate dash? Has to be a model without the center console. Have the center stack and both A/C vents.

Don't really want to mess with the bumpers. They have some rock chips and light scratches and for $200 you can have yours done and look brand new.
