We’re pretty happy with this deal. We didn’t qualify for any special discounts, so it was as aggressive a deal as I could negotiate. Hope this helps others.
I was just in at the RAM dealer and they were offering $7500 rebates/incentives/dealer coupons plus their discount of $5,000 which made the $60K Laramie trim 4x4 drop to $490 / mo lease for 36 months 12K/year…
Still not good enough for me as I know Chrysler products drop like a rock!
The reason I went in was for their national $279/month lease on a base RAM 1500 (Big Horn) w/ 5.7L Hemi engine and 25Z package. Too basic for me unless I had a business…
No, it’s the new 2019 redesigned model that came out earlier this year.
It drives like a sports car - very light in hand, no swaying, tight to the road connection - much better than a Tundra, F150 or Chevy.
The rebates are specific to your location, national rebates, supplier / corporate connections, professional affiliations (Realtor, CASE, etc) and of course the trim.
The dealer also has coupons they can use on top of the local, regional, and national incentives.
It’s amazing dealers are already discounting the new 2019 RAM 1500 so much plus they are adding the huge rebates making the lease of one very irresistable…
As for a 2018 on the lot, I am sure you can get even sweeter discounts and drive one off for a steal!
Unless you qualify for every single rebate FCA has to offer, getting a 2019 Laramie 4x4 for under $500/month including tax with minimal drive offs is impossible.
We didn’t qualify for any, unfortunately, but did manage to get the dealer to knock off $8K from MSRP anyway.
Get an offer in writing before assuming it’s possible.
Shoot for a payment that’s a little under 1% of MSRP, with just first payment and registration due at signing.
The $7500 in rebates is very misleading because that’s true for every FCA product. The issue is most don’t qualify for anything close to the full $7500 in rebates.
Now, getting $5K off the MSRP of a $60k truck is totally doable. That puts it around invoice.
In addition to the national and regional rebates, my dealer looked for the qualifying rebates using my employment and side business.
He applied: Small business, Fleet, and on the Job.
Plus the dealer also had coupons available to use to make the total amount $7500.
What is confusing is on the TV commercial they talk about the 12 inch touchscreen but online build I only see 8.4 inch? Sweet truck though, cannot believe how f’n expensive these things are!
You should be able to get another $1000-$1500 off the selling price. Use my deal as a baseline. Rates/programs haven’t changed much since we leased one.
