My input from a 4/06/2007 quote from Adam Macomber
Being someone who has searched online (E-bay Steve White Motors) to a dealer in Phoenix AZ . Plus many other nation wide online Dodge dealers. Also all of the local Saint Petersburg / Tampa, Florida Dodge dealers. For well over six months... .
It seems that many dealers don't have the time... to even answer an E-mail question. Let a lone try to work on the best deal for your money. One out of state Dodge dealer (Steve white) of E-bay fame wanted a $500. 00 deposit before they would even quote the actual truck's build cost.
Now that sure didn't stop them from spending a lot of wasted time repeatedly calling my home. Trying to drum up a Sale... . For the very same truck that they wouldn't even quote up front!
Most dealers just want to get you in the door to work some
magic.
With little hidden fees, like mandatory tinted windows, spare tire locks, bed liners fees plus a door edge guard fee. That one online AZ Dodge dealer / site adds $1596. 00 to the actual trucks cost. That was before a $369. 00 document fee... Lets see thats a few dollars short of $2,000. 00 all hidden from the posted to good to be true??? MSRP.
Here in Florida one Dodge dealer tacks on a $599. 99 document fee plus the old $300. 00 (unlisted) on the window sticker Mopar bed liner and the $50. 00 (unlisted) pin strips.
Adam's quote for a new 2007. 5 Dodge Electric Blue CTD 6. 7 6 speed auto laramie Quad Cad 4x2 LWB truck. Came in at 21. 6% below MSRP. 
with a $35. 00 document Fee.
Plus the one strong selling point, besides buying on price alone: the offer to have the new truck sent to my local Dodge dealer for a $350. 00 fee.
Thats a lot less than it would cost to even (hitch hike) 
a ride to Washington State and drive the truck home to Florida.
He spent more than an hour on the phone with me and answered each and every question in a very up beat, professional manner.
He also E-mailed a thirty five page 2007 Dodge Truck Ram Quad Cab 2500 4x2 customer preferred code guide. So I could figure out the best possible combinations to order.
If we all had a chance to deal with a person like Adam Oo. in our early years, maybe I wouldn't be so gun shy of most dealers.
Thank You TDR for the in sight. For all of the other members out just kicking tires, please give Adam a call.
