Nice Rig. When Dealing with Mark Dodge, how do they evaluate your trade? Sight unseen, pictures, year and mileage and then they honored that? Just curious because I am seriously considering giving them a call and see what they can do because the best I can find anywhere near me is 2k off sticker and trade ins about average. I have 2 trade ins. After reading so many peoples experiences and some even stating the numbers on what kind of a deal they got, it is making me realize that it just may be worth my while and time to reorder through Mark Dodge. At the time of my ordering here in South West Florida, I had not heard of a dealership giving that great of a deal. I thought at the time that even finding a dealer to take 2k off sticker was kinda rare in this market. They did lock me in on that price as well and that is why I pulled the trigger. MSRPs have been showing a pretty good jump from time of ordering to delivery for the most part, it seems. Mark Dodge is making some really crazy deals and because of it they are selling a crazy amount of special order trucks. I also love what I have been hearing from many on here about their customer service throughout the whole process. I have found over the years of dealing with dealerships, they are mostly just a middle man (Broker) and do almost nothing more. It is great to see a dealer really caring about the customers as individuals and their needs. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy my friend.

I just took pics of the trade and they give you a 30 day price. Seemed at the low end of trade in value, but they honored it even over the 30 days as it was still pretty close. I'm not even sure they even looked at it before I left with the new truck.

Trade in value on KBB?

I’d be demanding a steep steep discount. Like somewhere in the neighborhood of half price. The hell with that crap. If my PW shows up even a bit different than ordered I’ll be forcing a second correct order.

Problem is they can fix it and put it on the lot without saying much…and someone will buy it.

See what the bodyshop can do and ask the dealer to warranty the sunroof and any other damage (headliner, cab-overs, antenna) until you sell or trade.

Anybody whose truck went through the Port of Baltimore…. How long did your truck sit there before heading to the dealer? I’m coming up on 4 weeks and the dealer ETA just got pushed back again.

Pretty close to normal for Baltimore.

Anyone here know why my truck would be sitting KZLD for over a month. VIN- 3C63RRHL4NG240698

Mine sat in KZLD for a month while waiting on a rail car.
 
Today was the estimated ship date the dealer was told on 3/24. Still unable to add VIN to Mopar/Ram owner's site, so I'm assuming it is not even finished being built yet, even though it was in Paint status on 3/24. I'm not even mad because we need to sell my late mother-in-law's house and car first to pay for this truck (we do not want to finance). Truthfully, we really don't need it until June or July (would give us time to break it in before a trip towing our camper to Kentucky from here in Louisiana at the end of August for a family reuninon). It is my husband's dream truck, and I pray that we do not have the issue of it being damaged in transit like some have had...that would break his heart even more (has only been since November that he lost his mom, so he is still grieving).

If your truck was in paint on 3/24 it's probably in shipping now

Ship date is usually “ship date” date to the next stage of production, in your case is the build date, which is on course since it was in paint on 3/24. Not sure what other options y’all had that would take it off site to vendors (5th wheel prep and hitch, etc.) which takes longer. Not sure where you ordered from (I ordered Mark Dodge in Lake Charles), but once it’s done it has to wait on a train (right now about 2+ weeks) from Mexico to Port Allen, La. From there probably another 2+ weeks waiting on a truck to the dealership. Prayers to both for your loss…

It is a 2500 Limited Hemi with Night Edition, sunroof, tow package, and a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head, but no 5th wheel prep (if we ever got a 5th wheel, would upgrade to a 3500 dually). We ordered from Matt Bowers here in Baton Rouge (where I got my Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk from, same salesman who knows us well).
 
I don't know if they belong to anybody in here or not, but these 5 trucks are sitting in the Salt Lake City UP rail yard waiting on a ride to Dennis Dillon along with mine.

I’m in Lafayette and originally went through Acadiana Dodge, but they couldn’t beat MD, so ended up making the order through them. They couldn’t beat the 12% below sticker…

Well wanna see what happens when you wait so long and the truck comes in wrecked.. yeah NG162020 showed up last week dealership didn't call just told us today. Truck has the roof bashed in sunroof channel, windshield, marker lights and won't tell me how many miles are on it. Damage looks like someone drove it home and smashed it.

I would bet it was damaged during truck shipping from yard to dealer. I've seen it a few times on different vehicles.
