[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1808429, member: 5381"] Build you one from the manufacturers website and then you will get what you want and know ahead of time the sticker price. You can print out or get a link from the results. Go directly to the sales manager if you can. Take this info and offer and ask for a below sticker written quote. You might be surprised and don't be afraid to counter offer. Try the smaller dealers. They can get a vehicle over their quota if it is a order and are happy to get a sale where they don't have to use their floor stock. This was how it worked for me on November 2021 when trucks were hard to come by. Mine (a Ram 3500) came in in 16 weeks. I negotiated a $2000 under sticker price from a small town dealer. The big city dealers would do sticker only pricing. When the truck came in the sticker came in over the original number due to price increases and some slight package changes. They pissed and moaned and wrote up the contract over what we agreed on but the sales manager's signature was on the quote so it was honored after I bitched at them. Once you have your build info, its nothing to just email it to different dealers and ask for a quote. Don't be surprised when they play dumb and say they can't do that. Even the dealer I bought from was not smart enough to do the build like I wanted even though I had the info in hand. Finally the nice old lady that writes up the orders set down with me and she knew how to work the site and knew a trick too save me $100. Its embarrassing in this day and age how dumb some car sale managers are and they are still the same ol' crooks they have always been. [/QUOTE]
