Has anyone taken delivery on an order thru Sandy of Mark Dodge Chrysler? My quote from Sandy sounds to good to be true but I am of the trust but verify tribe.

What was your quote? About 12-12.5% off MSRP? I just got a quote from her on a limited DRW megacab and that’s about what mine came out to. Still waiting on Bud Clary to get back to me.

It was 12% off MSRP. Just wondering if anyone has taken delivery from this dealer and if they would do it again?
 
New the the Forum, current Ford owner looking to make the switch to Ram. I'm interested in a '22 2500 MC Limited. I've been working with a dealer and came across two items from an ordering perspective I thought I'd ask about here. (1) Trailer tire pressure monitoring system: Is this part of the Limited Level 1 package? The dealer I'm working with indicated this option is "grayed out" when Limited Level 1 is selected and becomes available when the Limited Level 1 package is removed. However, it's not listed as a component of the Limited Level 1 package description. (2) I'd like to order the truck with a sunroof, however, it's now coming up as a restricted item due to chip shortage. Apparently it can be added to the build, but not likely to be included from the factory, so this particular dealer removed it from my build sheet. Has anyone else come across either of these? What interesting is that both of these items were included in another build sheet about a week ago (may be an issue where it can be added, but the other dealer didn't acknowledge any warnings and/or bring it to my attention). Wondering if some new restrictions are starting to creep in as they are trying to determine which options are impacted by chip shortages.

Thank you all, been enjoying reading through the various threads on this forum

I actually was just emailing with Aaron Ginsburg yesterday about a refund of the $500 overage from their estimate of my registration costs, and told him that I very likely might be reaching out to order a 2022 in the next 4ish months. If the used market stays insane, I'll take advantage of it and roll into a new carbon copy of what I have now and put $5-8K in my pocket.

It was hands down one of the easiest vehicle purchases Ive ever made. The only others that compare were buying a truck from a friend who worked at a Ford dealer, and then from a friend of my dad who was the sales manager at a Ford dealer. I promise you will not regret buying from Mark Dodge.
 
Was talking to a dealer today and they said the bed utility group was flagged as delayed, anybody else hear that?

Sorry, I thought they were still letting folks without accounts read a few articles each month. Basically, the chip shortage plus other pandemic-related supply chain disruptions is making it hard for manufacturers to finish vehicles. Ford and GM have vehicles just sitting in fields waiting for a few parts before they can ship out. Rental car companies sold a bunch of their vehicles during the pandemic, but now they need to buy cars to meet rising demand. Many consumers saved during the peak of the pandemic and are now flush with cash which is also driving up demand. Most vehicles are sold before they hit dealer lots. Many are paying higher than list as a result of limited supply. Industry execs say that the last time supply and demand were so out of sync was just after WWII.

The main issue with the Chip shortage are the trucks getting blind spot monitoring, They are still producing and selling the diesel trucks without a certain sensor for the emissions equipment intact or working. CARB has agreed to allow the sales of trucks then when the parts become available you are required to get the parts installed. It sounds like CA trucks will have something attached to their registration that once parts are available the State of CA will know and will not reregister your truck until the parts are installed. (I posted a copy of the letter a few pages back in this thread)

The chip shortage as most know is due to the pandemic causing people to work from home/stay home. So they set up their home offices flat screens/laptops and other electronic equipment.....this is where all the chips went....well except when the kids/adult kids stayed home they bought Xboxes and other video games that used chips in record numbers.....so that's where all the chips went. Ford is about to start producing their own inhouse chips so they don't have to rely on someone else to provide them. When this happens it should ease some of the high auto demand for chips. If it would work....I would buy an xbox and send it to Ram so they could pull the chip out and use it in my truck that I ordered for the blind spot monitoring......yeah I know....I'm only dreaming!

Hour 19 is 7PM local time on July 9th 2021. If you look at the window sticker lower left corner there's a bar code. At the top right of the bar code there will be 4 digits....those are the month and day the sticker was printed/VIN was entered into the system meaning the truck was built....usually the same day the truck was built. Except my 2020 JGC Trailhawk....built during the pandemic....but didn't have the rock rails installed until almost a month later. That's when the VIN entered the system as built.
