The big problem was that they did not want to give me anything for my trade. We were going back and forth for about 2 Hrs before it came down to being $300 apart, I stood up and started heading for the door when they caved.
So I got the NADA trade-in value for my truck which was a 2000 Silverado Ext. 4x4
By the way, why did you trade a 2000 Silverado, did you have a lot of problems?
Nothing wrong with the Silverado, Its just when the new dodge came out, it was love at first site. The real four doors, the totally new design.
I had reservations since I had a bad experince with a Dakota years back. But I fiqured it was time to give dodge another shot.
I went over it with a fine tooth comb. This thing is flawless. And I have the 20" wheels which makes it that much more impressive.
$28,700

Love the truck & can't wait to add a worthy stereo system & performance goodies...
You'll be hard pressed to find a manual on the dealer lot unless someone ducked out on a special order. I had to order mine but it was a painless process that allowed me to get EVERY option that I wanted.
Do the dealers not discount as much when you order the vehicle as opposed to picking one off the lot? Also, have you driven the automatic? How does it compare to the 5spd?
I can tell that you have thought about this a lot. I offered 2% over the kbb invoice BEFORE the rebates and got the price without any haggling. This was in mid January after the initial shock of the mayor was over. I wish I had gone lower than that. The dealership was eager to sell, and I said nothing about the dealer holdback which they gladly pocketed. They even went so far as to give me the loyalty discount to offset the advertising fee and I'd never owned a dodge before. The fact was that they wanted wanted to make $500 and I wasn't about to drive any of the loaded trucks they had on the lot. To answer your second question I did drive the automatic and it is smoooooth. It had plenty of power for the casual around town driver, but it ran out of wind when really pushed. I think I could still respect anyone for driving the auto but only if they ordered the 3.92 rear end. You'll need the torque to turn those big tires. Whatever you decide it's a great buy. You'll be happy no matter what but I knew that I would be happier with everything that I ordered. Good Luck.
Does that sound right to this group? I have built this on Edmunds and it appears I am close.
Also, if anyone has purchased a sheel for the back of one of these who much do they cost?
Thanks,
Jim

I drive my truck on muddy lake roads; very impressed with handling and performance even w/the smaller V-8. 4x4 easy to use. Gas mileage varies between 15 and 19 MPG so far. Nice truck, love the pick-up in second gear!
Cars.com was a painless way to get the deal I wanted at the price I wanted to pay and the new Dodge dealership in Grapevine was awesome. Recently I saw a Lone star edition at a dealer north of Dallas advertising same thing for $23,889. Oh well, still happy, just don't have the lone star logo and 20inch dubs! Still Love that truck!

Now this truck is worth more to me after driving off the lot then any Ford, Chevy or Toyota. Thanks Dad (in memory of Bob Williamson)
