I ended up selling via FB Marketplace. Since my 2013 was a manual transmission Vroom, Carvana, CarMax seriously low balled their quote to me. Even 2 KBB authorized dealers would not offer the lowest value for Fair condition listed on KBB website. We listed it on FB marketplace for what we thought was a higher but fair value (high end of KBB average condition). We could have had a bidding war if we wanted to go that route. Respectfully we took the first person in. He was pre-approved and transferred the ownership to him 2 days later. We turned away numerous others that offered more.
I'll second that. Vroom offered me $7k, CarMax $5500, and Aaron at MD offered $12k. I almost took Aaron up on it, but he assured me I could definitely get at least $17k private party. Clifford needs new paint, but that's the only drawback. Want to list it for $25k when I get it back to TX and see what happens.
 
I find myself sitting in the airport this morning getting ready for the first leg to Lake Charles, JAX to DFW. I’ve asked three separate associates at MD to check the alignment against Thuren specs and adjust the air pressures to 80/65, but haven’t heard back at all.

Looking through checklists and weeding through the threads trying to remember everything that I’m supposed to be checking. Of course I find a meme on the book of faces that hilariously explains what I’m doing (only those of you that have seen Moon Knight will get it).

In some situations, it's best to go private party like Marketplace. I wouldn't have been able to sell my last truck to any of those sites with the work invested in it, which was understandable. Ended up finding a dealer that specialized in "modified" trucks in my case and it worked great.

I ordered mine with the trailer towing tech group B, surround view and laramie level B pkg so I'm not sure which one triggered the aux mounted reverse lamps but it's a nice surprise for a cool feature!

Surround View camera package is what got you the lamps. Unless you have BSM as well, then it would be both.

Hey guys, this is the first time I’ve ordered a new truck. Can you guys help me out with information on getting the best price possible? Im not employed at an affiliate company, but would like suggestions on how to reduce the price as much as possible, and no I didn’t order more than I can afford, just want to save as much as I can.
 
I do to…
While you’re at it, can you figure out a way to make the left and right side view cameras (side view mirror mounted) activate on the Uconnect screen whenever the corresponding turn signal is activated? Would be very handy for trailering.

The 2015 Honda Accord does this on the passenger side. But they don’t do it on the newer models.

Your dealership is selling it at MSRP + the $299 (whatever that’s for). Mark Dodge sells it at the EP price shown ($78,235) on your POC. You’d save $10,244 or 11.5%. Call Renae Jamieson at (337) 512-5599 (or email at [email protected]) and she’ll square you away. It will be worth the drive from Oklahoma for sure!!!

And no, I was not paid for this advertisement!!! :D:D:D

There's a reason EVERYONE on here (myself included) orders from Mark Dodge. Another +1 for the experience through them thus far. Can't go wrong.

Awesome! I just gave her a call, and emailed her the build. I joined this affiliate program, Tread Lightly!, which gives you an FCA discount at 1% below invoice for members. That would be $81,490 according to the invoice I posted, right? Just trying to compare pricing.

Hmm that looks more like a 10% discount than 1%.
