I wasnt about to downgrade from an Extended cab 4 Wheel drive truck to that thing...So they asked me what I wanted...and what my number was for my payment. After insulting me with a number 60 dollars OVER what i said i would go...I got up and walked away from the salesman. They then still came back over what my number was and I started to walk out of the dealership completely.

7 hours later and me flat out telling them if they dont come down to the number i gave them there was no deal I was walking out...I drove home in this.





2008 Ram 1500 Big Horn Edition 4x4 Power EVERYTHING It was a huge upgrade from the Ford...and I love it. its the 4.7 Not the Hemi...Although it has alot more punch and tq than the 4.6 in the Ford had.

just stick to your guns when you shop for cars and dont let the dealer walk on you...If you know what you can afford, tell them...if they cant get you to that goal...then go elsewhere. and if you cant get what you want elsewhere...then you shouldnt be buying a new vehicle in the first place.

Did you own the F-150 or owe a ton on it?

60 over on the payment sounds about right for the first "square" dealers use.

The "4 squares" sheet is retarded.

You should fuck with them by not telling them you have a trade-in until after you've agreed upon the price of the new vehicle. Then they can't fill in the 4th square on that dumb piece of paper.

Lmao, I had a buddy go to a dealer and talk up the salesman on a jeep he wanted...Told the salesman he was serious and not bullshitting around...Salesman never asked him what or how he was gonna work the deal assuming by his attitude it was most likely cash.

So my friend gets the dealer to knock off a hefty chunk of money gets it to basically 500$ above dealer cost...They shake and the salesman says ok lets go do the paperwork and then my friend tells him ok well lets see how financing goes...they tried to back out of the agreed price once they realized he wasnt paying in cash and all of it that day...after getting thru all the red tape my friend got his jeep for the agreed upon price that was originally stated.

I feel like when you go there, it's a game to them...to see how much they can try and fuck you over. I actually flat out said that to the guy who sold me my truck...He started back peddling saying "Im here to help you, you just gotta help me" it was actually quite comical

There are other cases where they hope you'll finance because they get a cut off the interest rate. But maybe that's not a big factor anymore with today's low rates.

Yup, when I worked at a dealership we could always give a little more when they were financing through the store.

I had owned the F 150 for about a Year, Making all of the payments...I had gotten a good deal on the F150 but it also had more miles on it than my current truck when I bought it...But after all said and done the dealer paid 1,000 over what I Owed on the F150 and I got them down to what I wanted, I was paying 395/Mo for the F150 which was an Extended cab 4x4 But it had Manual windows/seats/locks/ Full back window

The Ram is 420/Mo with Less miles and even more bells and whistles than the Ford...Its a nicer truck by far and I'm happy with the purchase. I got great financing on the Ram to, so in turn even though its a 25$ increase on the monthly payment, My insurance went down 15$ so really I only went up 10$ a month for what I feel is a better truck by far.

If you really stick it to dealers you'll either get what you want or like I said...you have no business trying to buy a car in the first place.
