should i be mad at my Dodge Dealer?

[1leg]

I ordered my truck last friday. Sense i didn't get to test drive a 2wd 3500 (i test drove a 4x4 drw) i decided to go and look at some other dealers to see if they had any SRW 3500 trucks to test drive. My dealer told me he did a dealer serch and couldn't find a 2wd DRW. So i drove around town tonite and sure enough no Drw 2wd and no SRW. only 2500s. so I decide to look up on the web for some dealer a little further away. low a behold a dealer to the north of me about 30miles has 3 brite silver DRW SLT CTD/auto siting on his lot. sure one is a 4x4 but the other 2 are 2wd. i'm leaving at about 8:15 in the morning to go and test drive the trucks.



What should i do?



1. Buy the truck from the dealer 30miles away.

or

2. Ask my dealer in town to do a dealer trade and get the truck for me. I already put 500. 00 down on the dealer in town. however he told me i could get it back any time i want.

Some dealers try to trade with other dealers but sometimes the other dealer will not trade,I recentely went through this with my wifes brother,but that is not to say a dealer will not lie to you cause they will and do often.

But in this case maybe your dealer just couldnt get the other deal to deal.

Just remember... ... he is a dealer. My slaesmen is so good, I never know without a doubt if he is lieing to me or not.

If you like the other truck at the other dealer, and can work out a deal, I'd try to get my $$$ back from the first one, esp if Dealer #1 said you can get it back anytime. They wont be hurt any by your decision to get a pickup elsewhere, unless Dealer #1 is family or something. Plus you will have the rig in your driveway, instead of waiting an eternity to get in the one you ordered.

Well I bought the new truck Saturday Morning, It's about 1000. 00 more then the one i ordered but it has a few more options, Cass,cd stereo, leather wrap steering wheel with radio controls, rear window defrost, an front tow hooks. other then that it is exactly the same truck. They are holding it until tuesday or wednesday when I can pick it up. I got it for 36500 out the door, that's with tax an lic. It has 14 miles on it, i only put about 6 on it myself. got it up to about 80 on the freeway for about 3 miles. didn't here any noises.



Now i need to sell my chevy in a hurry. anyone got a friend they don't like anymore, LOL!! just kidding it's a pretty good truck for what it is,

36000 for that truck is a real deal. Up in central Ca. that ruck would have been $41-43000 out the door. Hope you enjoy it.
