So I talked to the finance guy at the dealership I ordered from yesterday trying to finalize things. Even though the market is crazy and now the owner of this dealership has decided to sell at MSRP +, they are still honoring my Invoice price we agreed on. Truck should arrive on the 9th or 10th. Working with him so that all I do is show up, sign a few papers and drive away. Simple and easy.
1. Taxes and registration in Calif are HIGH! There are so many "extras" the DMV add on a new registration that its not even funny. I thought his numbers were off till I checked on the DMV site. $1000 just for registration.
2. He thinks he can get me a better APR on the loan. I have 3.49% for 84 months from my credit union. Only issue is my CU includes GAP insurance where as his banks do not, you have to pay extra for it.
3. I talked to him about my 3 true car incentives. It will take the $1000 one I have, but then grays out the $500 military one I have. And he's not sure how to put in the other $500 one I have. So I emailed him all 3 and he's going to work on it.
If anyone has any experience in getting more than one true car incentive to go thru, please pass it on.
Thanks.

My Ram is suppose to arrive at the distribution center on June 1st, and then a few days, it will be at the dealership. (really fast considering my order was placed on 04-23. I’m in San Diego, and found three dealerships in CA that would honor a FCA Affiliate pricing and or that would negotiate. San Diego CDJR, Orange Coast CDJR in Costa Mesa and Red Bluff CDJR in Northern CA. I ended up at Orange Coast CDJR. Which dealership did you place your order from?
AFAIK, there is only one user here who's gotten multiple TDM (truecar falls into this category) incentives applied.
Most have no luck, and the RAM incentives people can confirm that.

I wound up a Shaver CJDR in 1000 oaks. I live just over the hill from them in ventura. I stopped in on a whim to see what they would offer. Told the sales manager I paid $500 over invoice on my last two trucks. He came back and said how about $750 over invoice. So I ordered mine. I think my order finally went in on 04/21.
Our trucks are probably on the same train. Mine is supposed to be here 9 or 10 june. 75th PW.
That’s awesome! I think they are on the same train too! I was lucky enough to lock in on an affiliate pricing. Unfortunately both the military and first responder discounts don’t apply as as I separated from the Marines long ago and retired law enforcement doesn’t count, as you need to be active duty! I don’t understand how how the Carvana discount takes place of the military discount, unless maybe you used the Military Carvana discount?
thanks for your service! Enjoy your new ride!

Military discount works for retired as well. I retired from the Navy back in '01. Still working for them 20 years later and hope to be retiring for good in about 3 more years. One would think the first responder would work as well for retired.
He's working on it now to try and figure it all out. Worst case, I get $1000 off. Best case is $2000 to $2500.
Thanks for your service as well Brother. Enjoy the new ride as well. What did you order?

I’m retiring on June 3rd from USAA and buying my Dream truck (been driving company cars). Ordered a 2021 Ram 2500 limited night edition in granite crystal w rear air suspension.. FYI. On your next truck (RAM?) join https://treadlightly.org/ For a $100. After 30 days you will become eligible for the FCA Affiliate Program (1% below Dealer invoice…about $7k in my instance) plus any incentives and rebates apply at the time of pick up. You can check out https://www.fcausaffiliates.com/ As mentioned, I looked up dealerships in CA, AZ and ID in the FCA Affiliate site which you can do once a member to see which dealerships are using the program. Only found 3 that had a good volume. Asked other dealers who had what I wanted in stock, but they wouldn’t honor the pricing, hence the order. Any case maybe something for the future…. Enjoy your ride brother!

Not positive, but pretty damn sure they have a sticky in the general forum.
I can also recommend Benjamin Lilly like anderson36 did as he was my salesman for my first truck and did a great job. Benjamin's number is 512-800-4069 and Gunnar's is 206-235-9138 and email [email protected]

Yea I shopped around as well. Ad a dealer up in Auburn, Ca, just outside of Sacramento who would do MSRP on a TRX. Just couldn't see paying that much. Then I found the Power Wagon and it better fit my off road needs. Was looking in Washington and Idaho along with a few other places before I drove over the hill to Shaver. Got the best deal from them with no haggling or needing to threaten to go somewhere else or use stuff like tread lightly. I'm happy with what I got and ordered the truck the way I wanted it.
Enjoy the retirement.
That’s great. Crazy times were in,…
that’s great. Crazy what’s going on right now w most dealers asking above MSRP…. Glad we both got what wanted and ordered when we did then looking for one now…. Stay safe! Very crazy times in all aspects!

Got a call from my dealer this morning saying my order had "disappeared from the system"... he had me worried, and then said "that is because your truck has ARRIVED"!! I nearly had a heart attack LOL. Hoping to pickup in the next day or 2! Woohoo!!! Exactly 3 months from order to delivery for a Canadian order - pretty good!
Ordered: 2/27 (Calgary, AB, Canada)
VIN: 3/4
Build Sheet: 5/5
Window Sticker: 5/6
1st Rail Arrival (Indiana Sorting Yard): 5/14
Arrived at Dealer: 5/27
Can't believe how quickly this went from the middle of the USA, through customs to arrival at dealer - 13 days! Wow. Attached are some pics the dealer sent me of her in the shop getting PDI'd.

I see your truck!!! It’s awesome
He is awesome. I’m here with him now. ALL GOOD NEWS AND PRAISE FOR THIS DEALER.
I’ll do a bigger write up later but these guys are awesome. They gave me an ADDITIONAL $1000 off with the FCA incentive that was automatically attached to my name in their computer.
She’s dirty but damn!!! What a beast!!
Email from area rep:
Request has been submitted.
Keep in mind this color was a limited edition color and we have been notified we are built out for the model year.
There's a good chance this request won't be processed but it's been submitted.
Dealer Manager :
I do believe they won’t be able to build a 2021, and it will get build as a 2022
I've requested further clarification on the 2022 comment. I expect that means the truck will not be a 75A and will not get the interior options requested.
I'm now turning my attention to finding a 75A-PW on the lot. Will have to settle for color & options....Isnt that a crazy thought, paying upwards of $90,000 CAD and having to settle...hmm, it's time to step back and have a few cold ones.
