dodge dealers

[Rude]

does anyone have any connections at a dodge dealership? or any recommendations on which dealerships to go to or stay away from??

[TooMuchFun]

Stay away from ALL the dealers in Vegas. My father-in-law before retirement was a fleet rep. for Chrysler so when I can stomach buying a Dodge-Chrysler-Plymouth product (Jeep Wranglers for the kids) we call the factory and order through his dealer cost number.

Talk to T&B and go to Utah ... St. George has some reasonable dealerships and are more willing to work with you given the different customer base and economy dynamic.

TooMuchFun

Stay away from Tom Siatas. We found a 1 ton dually diesel on thier web pag at a good price, call to confirm the price and make sure it was still available. Arrive at the stealership and they say it's a miss print, and that it was ordered for a fleet sale. We've had good luck with Towbin, just stay away from the Chopper Editions

Buying from Utah is a major hassle if you live in NV. You will have to pay NV tax when you register, and you will have to have the vehicle inspected. You will get screwed on temp plates and how long it takes to get your paper work. If you are going to get a loan, plan on taking several trip to St. George and good luck on getting a loan being out of state. We bought 1 car up there and it was a MAJOR Pain in the A**. Not worth the trips and travel time.

Money Talks, being pre-approved cuts out a lot of the hassle.

[just another payment]

Call Desert Dodge and ask for Scott "utah" Reber.

[PUMP 'HER']

Stay away from all of them and buy a FORD!!!

[cracyracing]

we bought from desert, no complaints. we love the dually.....

[STV_Keith]

Talk to Randy out at Saitta Trudeau in Pahrump. We have had great luck with them on the past 3 trucks we have bought.

We (family company) buy a dodge every year
we order from factory but deal through Scott Reber out of Desert
All dealers will screw you. but I believe scott does it a little less than others
he sells a lot of trucks So he doesn't make as much off of everyone
he spreads the screwing around

don't know if this will help or not but I have a friend who's Brother and Sister both bought basically identical brand new ford
Brother bought in New Mexico
Sister bought in California
Brother paid$13,000 less
not sure if it's stupidity on Sisters part or the Brother swinging a hell of a deal, but maybe this will help your descision http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I bought 3 cars from Towbin last month and they took good care of me. I am going to by a new truck next month and will likely go back there. However their service dept. sucks. See Roni Pronounced rowknee.

No i'm broke. I am a project superintendent, I build medical facilities. I just sold my house in seven hills, it doesn't close escrow until 7-26 but the woman who bought it paid us an extra 10k to move out a month early. Anyhow with the proceeds for my house my boat, truck, credit cards and the 3 new cars 1 BMW X5 & 2 Lexus IS 300's for the son and wild child will all be paid off. I will be debt free for at least a week or so http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[dicudmore]

cool deal. I'll be debt free for a couple weeks after mine sells.
currently, broke is an understatement.

thanx for the advice!! so how does that order from the factory thing work?? is that somthing anyone can do? and will it save me $$$ can you still trade in a vehicle if you order that way??

Ford D plan, for Ford employee's gets you about 30-35% off sticker. Dealers hate it when I pick out a car and they do all the paperwork and I tell them D Plan, Ford sets the price.... No commission to the dealer except $250.00.

is there that much mark up on a FORD?
GM employee price is much less % off than that...
On a 40k truck its about 7k off

Oh really? I think Chris just became my new best friend. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

My uncle can only get 4 D plans a year. Â*Unfortunately, you must be a family member of the employee. Â*The discounts are pretty good, Cobra Convertable $38k, D plan price was $28k. Â*These dealers rape the consumers!

Maybe everybody in the family wants to have their new rides by oh say 2005, the next Cobra comes out in '06. maybe your Uncle wants to buy one for a day or two then sell it. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

with GM when you buy a vehicle at employee price you have to sign an agreement that it will not be sold for at least 1 year.

Chris obviously I don't work for FORD (probably never slow there if I did http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif )
but w/GM the employee price is thousands below dealerinvoice/cost...
the margin of invoice to msrp is not what you think it may be...

[Rude]

what's dodge's employee plan? i've heard ford's plan is pretty good. unfortunately i don't have any family in the car bizz.

[PUMP 'HER']

I have a buddy that is a mechanic at a Dodge dealer out here, I'll ask him. Â*It must not be too good because he doesn't have any new cars sitting around his house. Â*He has a sweeeeeeet '69 Charger though.

Markup on a typical US manufacturer from invoice (not including incentives) to MSRP used to be about 15-20% on factory installed options and anywhere from 25-100% (or more) on dealer installed options. Is that still true?

[dicudmore]

sounds about right as far as add-on options like running boards, bedliners etc. we mark those up 25%
