2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brochure from Dealer

[CUMAPART]

In yesterday's mail I received a brochure for the new 2003 HDs. They said that I could lock in my low price and some bonus $500 off. New is nice but my truck is still new

I got the same propoganda in the mail. You can tell they're really hurting for sales.

My local "5-Star" still hasn't recieved a 2003 Diesel. :{

 

[Bhale]

I got mine also. 305hp 555 ft/lbs sounds pretty nice for stock!



Have you seen the phord commercial where their 350 dually is pulling the icebreaker? "Highest torque in it class with 525 ft/lbs" :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[emarsh]

Yeah, highest torque in it's class, thats just it, it will never be in the same class as a cummins!

I was looking at an invoice the other day that showed DC charging each buyer $ 20. 00 mailing cost... . I had to think about that, then I asked the dealer "You guys are charging me to send that C#@! to my house?"



Yep!

Did anyone notice the bottom of one of the pages had a sticker on it with some writing, covering up what was originally printed. When I carefully peeled it off, it said the exact same thing underneath! WTF?

Royk, just did the same thing. Re-egineered??????? They corrected a spelling error. Snoking

 

[Royk]

Snow King,



Thanks. I read those two things about six times looking for a difference. Even had the wife read them both and she couldn't find anything different either. Kind of like when you read your posts after submitting them to check for mistakes.

[SnoKing]

Royk, that's OK, I had a really hard time finding myself, however I had and advantage. I "knew" there had to be a mistake or they would not have gone to the trouble of fixing it. FYI, my wife found it first time thru. Snoking

My question is "$500 off "of what? You still have to dicker with them, and while you're doing that they know you know you are going to hit 'em up for another $500 when you're thru, so they stop $500 short of where they would have otherwise! The paper is worthless!

Got the same thing two days ago

I also saw that stupid commercial with the furd and the ship. Reminds me of the one where the little Isuzu or something is pulling an 18 wheeler that broke down on the side of the road. It's so stupid it's not even funny



Saw that the dealer up the road from me has a new '03 2500 ST short bed w/Cummins. Just stopped to look. Mine is only 7 months old and I love it. Not in the buying stage now but does'nt hurt to look.

Drove the 03' this past weekend. Nice and quite gets up and runs like a gasser but the clutch is so light compared to my 02'. I like having that heavy feel on the clutch what did they do to the 03' to make the clutch so light? Is it electrical? Oh and I didn't like the 6-sp I prefer the 5-sp smoother shifting... .
