No $3500 Rebate?

 

[srgilrea]

That is after rebates.

 

[dhill]

I paid $1138 less than that, but mine is a 3500 and it has only a one cd changer and no steering wheel controls and I installed my own sat. radio.

Being that the '05 are getting harder to come by and they do have the 7/70 warr. sounds like a good deal.

Sounds like a good deal to me man, ~$7500 off and it doesn't have the leather and other high end options where there is alot of beef in the price. That's exactly the truck I'd order, except in Mineral Gray, best of luck.

 

[srgilrea]

Thanks for the input guys.

 

[KD7GYJ]

I don't believe you are getting the 3% hold back on that truck. You should find an extra 1200. 00 somewhere there.



My reasoning for my thoughts are list price less 10% less 3% holdback plus 3500. 00 in rebates. Looks like they are keeping the dealer holdback.



Just my thoughts.

That is too much, I think.



Mine was $200 more and it's a Laramie with leather... . and the rebates were lower, and I did NOT get employee pricing.

Too Much. Mine was $33,700 out the door for a 3500 SLT. Would've had to pay the extra $150 for the red paint I suspect. I bought it 3 weeks ago without any Employee Pricing Deal.

Went with a neighbor to John Elway Dodge in Denver last week. For a 2500 SLT and the only options were Auto 1,000(aprox), Tow package 275, and Sliding rear window 140 they wanted $32,761. Was given some BS line about every dealer in the country has to sell at the same Employee Price. I bought basically the same truck (4. 5) as a lost leader a year ago for $29,400. My neighbor is still looking.
