Timeframe before Dealers start coming off MSRP

[MurderedCat]

Found mine on the lot up in Wisconsin. Listed at 5K above MSRP after two texts the GM said he would be willing to do MSRP if I could pick up before the end of the month. Picked her up on 9/30!

Gotta get that commission!

They assumed the hood hinge was misaligned from the factory. The damage is where the hood and fender meet just ahead of the passenger door.

I found 2 similar issues posted on the RHO forum. Unlucky…

That seems like something you would feel resistance on. Damn that is just crazy glad they are fixing it for you sucks to have damage before you take delivery though.

How does he know that person can buy it?

I have bought countless vehicles via phone all over the country and while I have walked away from deals I have never had a problem buying a car or truck while not actually in the dealership. No financing just cash deals it's not that complicated.

I didn't say you couldn't. The sales manager knows phone deals are a race to the bottom because you are certainly calling other dealers.

There is chatter on the SRT board about dealers getting more allocation of the "sold-out" 5.7. RAM is going to supply the market and make money.

They’d be dumb not to. These a trucks not race cars. If people can’t get a Ram, Ford has a nice offering as well. Being able to secure part of the Ford buyer market is a huge come up for Ram

RAM does not care about how a dealer makes money. The dealer is the factory customer. Not us as many think. RAM will churn out units - TRX has great margin.

As we are seeing, they are cranking them out pretty steadily. They are 600+ past the original 2,400 units to be produced.

RAM brings in x dollars per unit sold to a dealer. What the dealer sells it for is irrelevant. It isn't like RAM is calculating the supply/demand curve to allow for ADM. That's a dealer thing. And we now see they will come off of that pretty easily in a lot of cases. Hey, let them take a shot. Fine. A lot of folks with more money than sense out there.

Let the initial impatient folks pay ADM, then dealers will start discounting just like we saw from 21-24.
