In our area, we are starting to see things turn around in the<br /> vehicle and housing market.

I think she&#039;s the only one that uses that address.<br /> <br /> Here is her contact info, the office number is generic and goes to the receptionist.<br /> <br /> Sandi Amrith<br /> Sales<br /> Mark Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep LLC<br /> 3777 Gerstner Memorial Dr.<br /> Lake Charles, LA 70607<br /> O (337) 474-2640 ****M (713) 301-6161 NEW CELL</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I have exchanged emails with Sandi this morning. Here is the gist of what I got back from her. <br /> <br /> &quot;FCA discontinued new orders on the 2021 RAM Truck models on May 6th and have not yet started production on the 2022’s however, we expect that to start up here in the next few weeks. We are still waiting on an official start date. Once production does start, we anticipate delivery 14-16 weeks later. We are currently taking orders for the 2022 models and would be delighted to assist you with yours. If you would like to create what you are looking to order using the 2021 models on <a href="https://www.ramtrucks.com/bmo.ram_3500.2021.html#/models/2021/ram_3500?app=bmo&amp;pageType=vehiclepage&amp;vehicle=ram_3500&amp;year=2021" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/forum/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ramtrucks.com%2Fbmo.ram_3500.2021.html%23%2Fmodels%2F2021%2Fram_3500%3Fapp%3Dbmo%26pageType%3Dvehiclepage%26vehicle%3Dram_3500%26year%3D2021&amp;hash=f93e6ba80f38c36b087f483d8b7e59c1" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Build &amp; Price a 2021 Ram 3500 | Ram (ramtrucks.com)</a> – save it as a PDF (preferably) and email that back over to me with any additional notes, request, comments you feel are important, I will be happy to replicate it on the 2022 models and provide you with a great sale price.&quot;<br /> <br /> So I have been working on the Ram Build&amp;Price page and working on some builds for her to price out. Lake Charles is only about 6.5-7hrs away from us and we&#039;ll very likely fly out for the weekend, pick up the truck, hit the casinos, and drive home. Not a bad deal at all.<br /> <br /> EDIT - I had talked to a salesman at Dave Smith and seems like the best price they were offering right now was about $1,000-1,500 under MSRP. That&#039;s their &quot;too low to show&quot; pricing. So, unless I just got a bad salesman, doesn&#039;t sound like Dave Smith is the bargain dealership they used to be.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Slight issue with Affiliate Rewards. I initially was going to order a 2021. I was told I had to order a 2022. Affiliate Rewards didn’t account for 2022 models yet. Dealer isn’t going to do the pricing with no code. Anyone know when they might re up the models? It’s sad because GM added 2022 models to their discount site. I could buy one of those I guess.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The price is there. It’s literally 1% below the Invoice price that shows on the screen. They told me that the control number wasn’t “valid” for the 2022 model.

Plus by the time they get it it should be fine.<br /> dealer just called and said they will call Monday because the system kicks out my control number as “no results found”. My number is unused and expires in 2022 so that isn’t it. According to the dealer they can’t order the truck under affiliate rewards without a valid number. I really don’t know at this point. See what they say Monday.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Worked with Sandi today on pricing out a few different builds / trim levels to see which direction I want to go.

The Affiliates pricing only comes into play at check out time. If what they are telling is true why did my dealer not even flinch when they ordered mine. I gave them my control number. <br /> <br /> Tomorrow when you talk to them and they stand their ground find another dealer. If I got it right you live in Joisey so there must be a number of dealers within a thirty mile radius from you ( although it might take 4 hours to get them due to the traffic) go to another one.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I was working a deal with a dealer about 3 hrs from me on an in stock &#039;21 2500 cc 6.4 and they wanted 5K over MSRP + $1,800 for VIN etching something or another. I politely refused both of those markups and they came down to MSRP but would not honor any vouchers - not Penfed or even my $1,000 Ram pop up cash voucher. Even with the 20+ week wait, I think I&#039;ll order a &#039;22 and not from those knuckleheads. From what I&#039;m seeing here Mark Dodge seems to be a no BS type of dealer. Kills me to have to order from across the country but may just be worth it.</div>
