Salesman to deal with at Dave Smith

Vote With Your Dollar

Fellow tdr members. . can anyone recommend a superior salesman from Dave Smith they were happy with?



So far, as far as superior salesman, (For a California sale),I have compiled:



Ken Ray @ Tonklin Dodge, Portland

and

Chuck Gilles/Tom Porter @ Carson Dodge, Nevada



and my local dealer, Doug Wooten, Crown, whom I dont think will be in the running but I feel some obligation to try to support the local economy if possible. . so I told them I would let them bid



Im looking at a bid on a special order

2007 3500 C&C, Regular cab, 4 x 4, 143. 5 in wb, wht/grey,6. 7 ctd, Aisin Auto,Exhaust brake, anti-spin diff, cloth seat, sliding window,220a alternator, Single rear wheel, PTO prep, adj idle control, cruise, air,transfer case skid plate shield,full size spare,trailer tow prep,front hood protection shield, Calif emissions



I have a friend who bought from Dave Smith awhile ago and had the truck shipped here... he had to weigh it. . and then dmv. . dmv charged him a full bore list price and didnt honor the rebates for whatever reason. . I had not heard of this. . anyone in Calif have a similar experience?



Im also interested in what people have paid for an 07... not sure if anyone would like to post up their deal. . Im of the opinion if we, as consumers, know what they are going for OTD in the real world we wil all be better equipped in our dealing with the people selling them



I intend to give each dealer their best shot...



I want to thank everyone for dealer direction beyond Dave Smith... and for the body builders guide!!! It might work out better for me to look at another dealer other than Dave because I have to get the truck to Cali and deal with a body and dmv



For those of you that havent experienced California DMV... its an experience in government,,, thats for sure. . just getting a one day trip permit to move a vehicle is fun here



thanks

Absolutely, I have a good one for you. I ordered a truck from this salesman because he provided me a price list, not just a price but a complete item by item price list. I tried pricing at my local Dodge Dealer in Decatur, Texas. Prefer buying local if they are competitive. Put a plea on TDR, (follow my posts: Dance with the Dealer, dtd. 12-24-06). I tried getting prices from several dealers. Ken Ray @ Tonkin Dodge, Portland, WA, got back to me and came up with a total price.

On, 1-7-07, Jim, jelag, TDR member, referred me to Dishman Dodge, Spokane, WA. . Mr. ADAM MACUMBER. From my experience, this is the man you need to do business with; tel. 1-877-568-3363, cell: 1-509-475-2480. The man will work for you and he doesn’t have the demeanor of lets get this guy done and move on the next one. He worked the problem. He called with updates, he returned calls and followed-up with email of our conversations. I ordered the truck just the way I wanted it on Jan. 15th, and received conversation with my VIN on Jan 16, 2007. So fa,r I am very pleased with the experience. VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR, and good luck.

The only thing I can attribute to on the fast VIN is the salesman. GO DISHMAN DODGE, Mr. Adam Macumber, 1-877-568-3363, X205.
