I called my initial dealer and they told me I could pick up the truck they were installing the dvd system but they didn't have the 3rd headrest screen installed yet. When I told them I would pick up the truck and come back when the screen was in, they said "we don't know if the dvd sytem works yet because the installer had not tested it. He was waiting for the third screen. I told them I wouldn't pick it up unless they were sure and I was sure that everything worked. Man, am I frustrated!
I was going to try to cut a quick substitute deal with Spike's dealership today. Thanks for the info Spike, but that deal you got was one in a million. I called your salesperson today and he said your deal was a one shot on an '03 they had left when you called. They said they could offer you a great deal because the truck didn't have a sunroof and wasn't very loaded. I tried to get a deal on an '04 Lux with air suspension and navigation. I was quoted $52,840 on a sticker of $57,840. They don't seem to want to budge on a reasonably well optioned vehicle. They will knock off more on a base model or something without Lux, nav, and air suspension, but it doesn't seem to be working for me as others customers unaware of this forum are going in and paying sticker on trucks with installed packages like Lux and Adventure. It is particularly hard to strike a deal when a winter storm is expected to hit tonight. Your salesman said the phone is ringing off the hooks. He gave me the line about checking with his manager as I asked for $51,000 for the truck with Lux, nav, and air suspension...but no deal.
I have no trade and am paying cash so they won't make any money reselling a trade. I am frustrated. I am not satisfied with the delays at the original dealer, but I don't seem to be able to get the deals some of you are reporting. Where are those $7K to $10K below sticker deals?
