Is this possible?

Question

We are looking at a 06 Dodge quad cab the price has been reduced in the past two weeks for 18,000 to 14,000 I am thinking of offering 10,000 to make the walk away price after TT&L and warranty about 12,625 am I offering too little? the truck has a little over 40,000 miles on it and we already have our financing in place. The sales price is already under blue book value so I am not sure what to offer or whether to take it for the price they are offering my husband really likes this truck I just want to be savy at making this deal so we end up on top.

Answer 1

unless your buying a Dodge Ram 2500 2WD turbo Diesel



or a 08 Dodge Charger.



I wouldn't buy any Dodge vehicle.



they need more repairs and cost more to own than other cars.



with the exception of Chevrolet they have more cars and trucks on the Consumer reports list of used cars TO AVOID than any manufacturer.



GMC Sierra or a Toyota Tundra are better choices



if your just dying to have a Dodge truck



the 02's are the worst

03 to 05 are rated average

06 below average

07 good



the 4WD's are all rated avg or

below avg with the 02 the worst.

Answer 2

It doesn't hurt to offer lower. The most they can do is say they won't go that low.

Start at $10,000 and if they say no, go up to $12, but tell them you want them to include TT&L in that price.

If they still say no, either walk away and see how long it takes for them to chase you (if they went down $4,000 in two weeks, they probably will) or if your husband really likes it as much as you say, tell them you'll take it for $14,000, but they're paying TT&L. They'll most likely go for it after that.

Answer 3

You can offer anything. But in all honesty, I doubt the dealer has more than $8,000 profit i a 18,000 truck, That would mena that they had to buy it at about 9,000 before recon. I know the perception is that we buy cars for $1 and sell them for $1,000,000. Likely if the car was on the lot at 18k, dropped to 14k you wont get well below that. Sounds like its being cut because its time to go. PLus trucks are soft in the market right now, due to high gas prices.



You can offer $10,000 but be prepared to not get it for that. I would be surprised if you get it lower than $13k+fees.

Answer 4

If it was reduced from 18 to 14, that's probably all they had in it. Offer 10k, get laughed at, they'll come back with 14k, you'll probably end up around 13.5k. Plus tax.

Answer 5

Offer 12K and say that's your best offer!
