no. Inplaced an order before I knew of this discount. Can it still be applied? I am under the assumption that once the order is placed its pretty much final
I honestly don't know if you can use it now. My gut says yes, because technically you haven't purchased this vehicle yet.
This is from a a Ram build but the columns show msrp and invoice. The figures at the bottom are friends and family pricing (affiliate) and the employee price. The dealers tell me the holdback amount they are guaranteed is VIN specific, tied to options and possibly scheduling. Hope this helps a bit. Ordered a gladiator last year and it was almost the exact same percentage off of msrp.
Yeah I think I was looking at the wrong line. So it would make more sense that the numbers I added up were over MSRP because it was with the 3.0. I will look again. Multitasking is not a strong suit. ha.I’m no pro at that pricing sheet, just another dude that used it to price my Jeep, but looks like 23 is the manual transmission version of each truck, 24 is the auto, 26 is the diesel/auto since there is no manual option for the diesel.
Try no to sweat the MSRP, not every dealer is willing to discount off that price, which is why a handful of dealers get so much mention here: they’re far and few between. If you’re unable to travel to a discounted dealer, one that at least doesn’t charge over the MSRP is your only option. We’d all have to take that route if we had to buy locally. MSRP in todays market is nothing to be mad about.
Well. you don't know what you don't know is a great saying. How would anyone know what half of these terms even mean if few people use them correctly or are willing to talk about them. Again going back to honesty and integrity - something few dealers seem to have I guess.... Had I known I certainly would have had a more in-depth discussion. I think you are right about 'locking in' the price. They did say that. now they used that in terms of the price would not increase if for example steel prices raised... But they did not mention that going the other direction except for factory rebates that 'might' apply. They just so happened to 'skip' over that part probably because it betters their own situation. So 'poor negotiation' I dont think really applies - I guess I could have just walked away and gone to another place that also would not budge. Not sure what that really gets me. It's business - however, it drastically reduces any amount of trust one has in a apparent dishonest group of people. Nobody can argue that fact. But I will look into this FCA number. That is also something I didn't know about and will read about that tonight. I mean a guy hopes people would be honest but we all know this world is full of sleazy dishonest people. That's my beef... anyway I digress, there is a bunch of really good info here and perhaps I should have spent a solid few months just reading. and I am pretty mad at myself for not having been able to find pertinent information sooner despite best efforts. that being said, seeing as how other dealers today have responded to my questions I highly doubt anyone within 3 states of either side of me would be willing to budge on anything other than MSRP. That is becoming pretty clear. It seems deals in the south are just offering better rates and more willing to give straight forward information for some reason.
No it is not. And every single dealer I called today - probably 15-20 of them, said the exact same thing. They also said they had non-refundable deposits and the deposit was for the same amount I already put down. Many of them also immediately had a jerk of a tone in their voices the moment I asked serious questions such as invoice numbers and 'actual' cost, and holdbacks. I think the places I called knew right away they were getting caught red-handed in purposefully misleading people to make more money and were upset at that.
yeah I am going to give this a try. Going to sign up tonight. Maybe they will surprise me and follow through.
Like when you sign up for it the day you place your order, but then your truck is somehow ready 18 days later and you have to wait weeks to pick it up.
Let me know how that works for you. Hoping it does! I'm considering it as well but also times are weird these days and people are easily set off into a place where they try to work someone over for spite. maybe not a valid thought but I do unfortunately see that often. I ordered the Sport S optioned out (except for LED's which weren't available) strictly for the max tow option. But just found out recently that last year someone got the Rubicon also with the max tow which supposedly is no longer offered. So confusing when things keep changing and terms are not used correctly or explained well.
Chorky, btw, I had actually written caveat emptor previously, but my spell check was too dumb to know latin for ”buyer beware” and changed my wording and I was too dumb to review what I wrote that got changed. So, there it is, I’m not perfect.
