So I was playing around with the Ram 1500 configurator just to see what the price would be with the options that I want. Here is what I got.

I chose the Ram 1500 Sport. I picked the Convenience group ($450), the comfort group ($550), side steps ($600), bed liner ($525), rear sliding window ($200), and back-up camera (375). All the options come out to $3,125.

O and the red cherry color added another $225.

With a $4,500 down payment, the configurator estimates my bi-weekly payments at $183.

All values are in Canadian dollars. I think I'm okay with that.

Opinions? What are you guys going to order, and how does the pricing work out for you?

 

[L.O.A.]

Nice breakdown of price, in canadian pricing it doesn't seem to be too bad. Are you going to try to get the MSRP lowered?

 

[tugboat]

that is MSRP of course

your payments will be cheaper.. dont pay msrp..

 

[Panther Dash]

I will try to get a price that is less than the MSRP. Not really sure what to aim for though. It would be nice if I could get the bi-weekly payments down below $170. So we will see if I can swing that.

This is my proposed goodies. I'm in Ontario... I should be seeing that 4.29% come down once we do credit checks and actually sit down to hard negotiations. I'm also likely not going to carry these payments for 96 months. I might finance over 96 mos and then knock them down early as I can...

So what are you expecting to pay as your monthly payment on your Ram 1500? Financing the hole thing at a price of $48,400 sounds like it might be a little expensive each month, especially if you pay over 60 months (5 years)

Around a $950 per month. Very nice business expense write-off.

Drove a Laramie with all the goodies minus the ram box. I have a ford ecoboost and love the power and zoom but not many bells and whistles. They originally said $53 k for the truck. So I test drove it about 25 miles.. I got it up to 105 mph and was basically full throttle much of the time. I averaged 21 mpg which I was SUPER impressed with considering it was at 3500' elevation and I wasn't easy on it at all. While its no ecoBOOST its not bad at all and I know my ecoboost would have averaged about 12 driving the way I was. The truck drove super nice and loved all the gadgets. So we went back and talked price, the lowest they would come down to was $49k but very good trade on my truck$28,000. I didn't do it. So, I started price checking dealers in Oregon, Idaho and Washington. After 2 weeks I ordered a truck 2 days ago. Laramie 4x4 3.55 gears all the goodies minus side steps, rain sensitive wipers, bed liner and tonneau cover(trying to add it tomorrow I think). But after much back and forth and 5 dealerships I got my truck ordered finally with an MSRP of 50,215 and agreed price after all the deductions is $40,600 and they offered me 28,000 for my trade which is about 4,000 less total difference in price when you consider trade vs price of the new truck that any other dealership offered. They said they were taking about a 3,500 loss but needed the order to make their bonus???? non the less my only worry at this time is the rebate of 2,500, they said if the rebate goes down my price goes up because the rebate is only good at time of delivery. Anyone else heard of that??
So, I am super stoked about the truck and already dreading the long wait.. they said about 2 months (hoping that's correct but know it may be longer). I did do away with the 20'' tires and rims. priced out replacement NON P rated tires (I drive in the woods) and they are way to expensive so saved $425 off invoice for the 17'' tires.
Does anyone have the stock tonneau cover?? If so, do you like it?

 

[BackinBlack]

What I paid

Ram
EcoDiesel
Big Horn
20" Wheel (8 inch)
275/60 BSW
Uconnect 5
Full console
Standard Instrument cluster with smaller LED screen
Power Mirrors, Heated
Sticker: 42,210

Paid 33,995

Total discounts:8215.

I probably could have done a bit better or got the Luxury with Uconnect 8.4 for just a tad more (somewhere around 34,900). I was trading in and so somethings lined up for me that make it harder to shop around.

Hope this helps.
