Yeah, Roadkill is awesome. They just chop things up, make them wild with as little as possible, give zero shits about it, and have a lot of fun. Kinda like this, lol...Compared to roadkillk
had the same thing happen to me years ago with my Dodge about 9 months before it was paid off. I went in there with the "you called me, I don't need you attitude". Didn't make a deal but it was damn close. The sales guy called me back a coupla days later offering me the deal that I wanted (he could have done it that day).......so I told him I wasn't interested. But if he would have done it that day..........
Hit up a dodge dealership with 5 stars. They'll kiss your ass to sale a truck.
Pick out your ride. Tell the salesman $500 over invoice, flat financing. Meaning no extended warranty, gap insurance, or other crap. If you want more warranty, haggle the price down on that it self. There's mark up in everything. Also tell them you're NOT paying for window etch. It cost about $3 to etch the glass, they charge 100x for that. It's a gimmick.
When the finance manager shows you the interest rate. Ask to see the fax the bank sent them, that has the interest rate the bank is giving. The more interest points the finance manger can run up on you....the more $$$ to them. Say the bank said 6%. They slide you paperwork that says 11%. The points over the bank buy rate is pure profit that go's to the dealership.
Demand a full tank of gas and a stinger for the receiver hitch.
If they say no to any of these....walk.
If you put dodge country against Mac haik.....one or the other will gut the price. The best you'll do, depending on market is $500 back invoice. However if folks are buying the trucks, it won't happen.
1/2 ton Dodge trucks have a constant $2500 markup over the invoice. Regardless of rebates. The cars have $1500. Duellys have around $3500 Mark up.
$500 over invoice, flat financing is a good deal for both parties.
As for a trade in. The used car manager already gave it a price as you drive up. It's a bullshit show when they drive it. It's all cattle to him and he prices them just as fast. If they offer you anything below $1000-1500, under $2500. They're getting it for free. It's a numbers game. Take $1000 out of Mark up and say it's for your trade in. When In reality, it's only numbers on paper. Numbers are taken from one page, written on the other. No real money is given for wholesale trade ins.
Rebates have zero to do with Mark up. If you buy a truck and only take rebates, you just bought the truck at sticker.
Generally they have a customer looking for that exact truck. They wouldn't do that to park it on the lot.I specifically asked if the offer was a trade-in, or involved another purchase, and he said no, but with the zinger "...but I would be glad to help you with that if you're interested".
Heard of dealers offering things like that included with some kind of mailout promotion, but never with a phone call, and never a cash transaction.
Only thing I can think of is demand must be outta sight.
this is what the sales guy told me......the demand for my style of truck was up and they already had buyersGenerally they have a customer looking for that exact truck. They wouldn't do that to park it on the lot.
My uncle had that happen with a Mercedes he had. The dealer wanted it for himself.

They etch the VIN number in the windows. It's supposed to help recover stolen vehicles, but if they're smart enough to change a VIN plate on a windshield or remove it from the frame, I highly doubt a thief if going to keep the window glass with the VIN on it.Window Etch? WTF is that?

I don't think it's a scam, but they are hoping they can talk you into a new vehicle. There's actually a pretty big demand for used cars right now. The used car market was ruined by cash for clunkers.It's an 04 blazer that hasn't been to them for maintenance in years. I'm pretty sure there's a scam involved.

This is ok if your were planning to buy new anywaySo I have an opinion about that. It's all supposition. Nothing really to support it, other than I buy durable goods for a living.
The used car market is up. There is a whole lot of crap on new cars people don't want to pay for. So they buy used, because the initial devaluation of the car.
Dealers IMO run a higher margin off used cars. BUT they also get kickbacks off of volume from the manufacturer based off of units sold.
So in your mind you'd sell your car for 8-10 grand. they take number x lets say 10,000. And they say hey we'll buy your car for 10,000 bucks. That gets you in the door. Then they nickel and dime you down a bit, then say BUT if you buy a new one I can give you more off the new car.
So the pitch turns into your paying 375 for a car payment. BUT for 50 dollars more a month you can get this new truck!
So now they've distilled down their sale to the difference between your old and potentially new car payment. And don't focus on the extra 24 months you gotta keep paying on the car.
It give them volume sales plus a car they can hit x2 and market for immediate cash revenue.
This is ok if your were planning to buy new anyway
