Looks like they're starting off around 4.5% under invoice and then tacking on the $2000 incentive from FCA. Their math shows $2000, not $2500 customer rebate. However, they aren't charging you the destination fee so that helps offset the tint upcharge and the high doc fee. If they don't jump the price by the destination fee I'll be surprised and yes, you're getting a good deal. If they add the destination charge back, I'd say it's luke warm.

The extra $500 you’re seeing there is because I’m military so I’m approved for the $500 military rebate they offer as well! I’m wanting to pull the trigger I’m just scared on re sale values of the Gladiator. Since they apparently haven’t been selling all that well.

I wouldn’t pay 500 for tinting two windows. Geez.

Destination is probably included

in vehicle price. 44,600 sounds like a sticker price for that build.

MSRP including destination on the listed options/build is 46105 unless the destination charge has increased from the $1495 my version of the pricing worksheet contains. MSRP excluding the destination charge is 44610.

I don’t want to however it is lifetime warranty. And since it’s already on the vehicle I can’t negotiate that price at all.

Destination charge changes from region to region. Yours probably from the Dallas Fort Worth area via rail then shipped. Either way, it should say on the sticker.

That tint is just a dealer addon. They get it installed at a fraction of the cost you're paying.

Ok so MSRP is $44,610.00..
Invoice is probably right around $39,000~ excluding destination

So with the AutoNation Savings-$3,674.01. They're probably $500 shy of invoice give or take.

Customer rebates you're doing well with.

Here's what I would do.
Ask them to show you the invoice. They should be completely transparent with you. You should be getting (Invoice price + destination) - Customer rebates $2500. Even with that, the dealer is still making 3% on MSRP from a hidden item called holdback, which can be negotiated.

So do the invoice transparency thing, try to negotiate on the tint, and or the documentation fee. $499 is above the average in your state.

I'm not crapping all over you or anything btw. You could get another $500-$1500 from this. Maybe its not worth it. A few hundred bucks in the grand scheme of things isn't much.

I have never paid for that tint cost

I ended up buying the Truck! 42.5K Out The door negotiated the price of tint a bit and they gave me 2 free fill ups on gas!

Destination charge is levelized the same price regardless of location in the lower 48 states. So if your dealer is 5 miles down the road from the plant or all the way across the country on either cost, the destination charge is the same.

Looks like you wound up getting a deal you are happy with. Honestly, that is all that really matters. Congrats!

Congratulations man! Enjoy the truck!

Congrats on the new rig! Dealer tint has a value in the desert. Lots of different opinions, surely, but I'll pay for the deep tint off the lot.
