Price negotiated from MSRP

It was Arrigo Ft. Pierce. Probably the best experience I’ve ever had in terms of ease of negotiating, getting to the dealer and them having everything ready to go. University wouldn’t budge on the pricing and I was basically told the price online is the only price. They didn’t even want to negotiate, as in, I offered some prices, the sales guy just said, the price is the price, and we walked out. Never heard from them again.
 
What part of the country are you in? Out here all the dealers are claiming low inventory so they're not moving on price.
Northern California. Clovis Dodge is where I bought it. Also, Hoblit Dodge had awesome savings going on. Most other dealerships out here are holding firm, but Clovis and Hoblit are giving big discounts.

JJIV, who did you deal with at Arrigo? I have been reaching out to several dealerships in Florida for quotes on a 2500 build.

I purchased the truck through my company so I worked with the fleet manager directly. Sending you a private message.
 
New owner here.

$67,845 MSRP. Paid $60,600. -10.68% off. Most of my haggling went towards the trade in after I broke them down on MSRP. Airpark RAM in Scottsdale, AZ. Would NOT recommend. It's an "addendum" dealer. They had $2,300 worth of garbage adds to the sticker. Got them to take all of it off except window tint (which dealers never take off in AZ). In all the haggling and excitement, got home and realized truck doesn't even have the $500 BS window tint on it that they pay the guy $50 to put on lol. Whateves. If I make a stink they'll have me bring it down and get garbage low grade 33% put on. My own guy will do 15% @ $180 bucks. For those of you not familiar, window tint is damn near mandatory in Arizona. I realize it's not big in other states or even aloud (33% legal here).

Anyway, some other issues with communication that the dealer really failed on. For AZ peeps tracking this thread try Bill Luke in Phoenix or Tempe RAM. Fairly certain they are no/low addendum dealers.

Cheers.
 
I have not ordered a truck from them yet, will be doing that this summer. I do know that they pickup customers at the airport almost daily. 9apps cartoonhd

Question to you all that did your negotiation over email for a build. Did you all just use the standard contact me form on dealers site or did you email the Sales manager directly, if you could locate their contact info? Reason I ask is I have reached out to 10+ RAM Sales Managers in Florida and out of state and no one has replied to my emails. Of course my request is for a build so maybe they are only interested in selling what that have on the lot and in transit. Thoughts on how I can get some responses?
 
I would use contact me or the live chat function. Live chat will be with a business development rep which will forward your information to a salesman. Process really isn't any different than buying a vehicle on the lot.
 
Make them remove that DOC fee. It's pure BS (profit).

$139 gov fee (title filing?) is also a ripoff.

If they won't remove, then get the difference in the discount.
Yep that’s what we did. They got me another $500 coupon for being a Builders Association member and also called the bank and negotiated half a percent better rate. I’m doing it!
 
After entirely too much research and trying to predict the future, I finally conceded HO is the way to go and have a quote that seems pretty good:

2021 RAM 3500 LARAMIE MEGA CAB 4X4 6'4" BOX
--- 6.7L I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine - High Output
--- 12-inch rear axle / 4.10 ratio
PAR Maximum Steel Met. Clear Coat
*GJ Leather Trimmed Bucket Seats
-X9 Black
XF7 Dual Alternators Rated at 440 Amps
WLA Dual Rear Wheel
XXS Upfitter Electronic Module (VSIM)
A67 Laramie Level 2 Equipment Group
UAX Uconnect 12.0 with Navigation
SEB Auto Level Rear Air Suspension
ANT Bed Utility Group
AAU Safety Group
ADE Cold Weather Group
AHU 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Prep Grp
LHL Instrument Panel Mounted Auxiliary Switches
ADB Protection Group
AAN Towing Technology Group
XG9 Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys
XFQ Mopar Trlr Camera Wiring/No Camera
MY7 Running boards, power
Planning on splitting time between towing a 16,000# fifth wheel and unloaded for occasional work commutes. Expect a pretty decent electrical load for radio and inverter gear as well.

Given the weirdness with HO restrictions ordering right now, the dealer offered a guaranteed price, or lower if pricing drops (not holding my breath!) which seems entirely reasonable.

Sticker: $86,315.00
Sales price: $78,489.00 + any incentives available at time of delivery

My state caps doc fees, so not much to worry about there thankfully.

Congrats!! That Laramie Sticker is about $1,300 more than my Limited, must be the HO and Air suspension which I didn't order on mine.

My 2020 Limited HO (order) was $86,820 and I paid $77,294.

- $1K USAA
-$250 allstate rebate check

Got a Maxcare 8/60K for $1085

Great if you're happy with the deal (looks like an order?) but I'd work them over a bit more.

It's only slightly terrifying a Limited build comes in under a Laramie build. You're right, HO and air is about $4k of the sticker alone.

See, for me, that's the thing.

The Limited has much better leather and the fancy LED projector wigwag headlights. I have nearly every option on my HO including air ride except a leaky sunroof, the VSIM, painted bumpers, and (later added) trailer TPMS.

The only thing I want for that's now available on the 2021 is the Night edition in Granite.
