Food for thought!!!
I dont have full tracking, but mine shows way points South San Antonio, TX, then Livonia, La where it spent several days in rail yard (holding area lots of parallel rail space but no unloading area 30 miles west of Port Allen), then Port Allen (again hollding area, big rail yard, but no unloading), then "Port Allen Railhead Railcar Ingate" (I think the last is a separate Port Allen rail depot where unloading occurs).
is that 5% off of Dealer invoice or MSRP big difference?
I only know what I’ve read here. I believe they are offering about the same deal as Mark Dodge. Approx 4% or so under invoice.
What kind of deal are you getting from Dave Smith. They have a truck I’ve been looking at but are not willing to come off of MSRP at all.
You can adjust it if you take out the box and get to the backside of the striker but the time to do it really isn’t worth it.
You are going to have a hard time getting any dealer to do anything significantly below MSRP for a truck on the lot. In fact, you are more likely to find them tacking on a "market adjustment". To get the 4 - 5% below invoice you would need to order the truck and wait for it to get built.
My Avalanche has these type compartments and I love them. I almost ordered these on the RAM. Sounds like they are problematic glad i decided not to order. Going to do a hard Tonneau Cover however
I agree! I shopped dealers from SC to AZ and north to MI all during the 2021 model year and no one would sell me a truck for less than MSRP even with an Employee Discount. I know I found at least 50-75 trucks scattered throughout these areas I liked. Ordering is the way to go right now until things get back to normal.
Mine is in Livonia LA. now and has been since 3 AM this morning. It will be interesting to see how long it's there before it starts moving again.
I agree! If you have the time to wait for a build and don't mind traveling to get your truck Mark Dodge is the place to go! I've heard nothing but positive comments from all their customers. Only one customer was concerned regarding the 7 days to pay for his truck because he worked off shore and delivery was going to be while he was at work for 28 straight days. Aaron was kind enough to reach out to me and explain their 7 day policy and I am not even a customer. Mark Dodge monitors this Forum so reach out to them and ask them to message you.......
i have shipped multiple vehicles from west coast California to Virginia x2 recently and both came in damaged. the cost was 950 for a 2005 ford explorer received in OCT of 21 the other was a Saturn car i think that was 850 back in 2019. Don't trust any broker i don't care who you use. They are that a middle man and try and find the cheapest carrier so they can make a profit as well. Door to door service is non existent in my experiences. One made me drive 30 mins to meet him in a Walmart parking lot claiming he couldn't get to where i am and hes full because it was a military housing and all the big semi moving companies come in there all day everyday. The most recent i told i would meet down the street had some hold up excuse so i made him unload by my house and he drove the car down the street both times i deducted 50.00 for inconveniences there is more to the story but keeping it short for here. Just be careful i would fly in and drive it home before i shipped my new 80k truck unless your going to put it enclosed and that's a few thousand dollars and they too damage cars. All they care about is getting you money and leaving so be careful.
they lost me at more expensive lol. at 80k for a 22 Laramie 3500 drw 4x4. That's actually more than i should spend but i am buying myself a new truck after 19 yrs. last new truck i bought was my 2003 RAM 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. i have bought 2 used in between in 2012 i traded the ram in for a 99 f350 lbcc lariate 4x4 7.3 diesel. just sold that in June to pay off my debt to be able to purchase this 22. and i bought a 01 ford excursion limited 4x4 with the 7.3 55k original miles in 2018. still own it with 93k now. also thinking about selling it to fund a good portion of the 22 since they sell for a premium in my condition. but all in all ill be happy to receive my 22. they are beautiful eye candy as i watch you all get yours.
Truck is a month old. Less than 1000 miles. Noticed at First rain. Best to let Dealer deal with it.
