@@tafb94force29 The problem is that not everyone knows what their budget/affordability is, lol. Some people are ok with saving $100 a month and that's "affording" their lifestyle. I try to save $1000-$1200 a month depending on bills that month. I'm sorry, a car payment that eats into 50% of my savings is not in my budget . Especially, with inflating food, energy, taxes, and housing, it probably isn't affordable to many. People need to have a buffer but I guess they need to feel accomplished as well.
@@HeffewiezenDudeGuymy neighborhood growing up was wealthy by house price. It was always interesting seeing who needed to flex with 100k vehicle, and who drove their Honda accord til it died.
I will be 80 years old on my birthday this year and have never purchased a new vehicle in my life...until a few weeks ago when I purchased a 2024 5.7l 1500 4x4. Got a super deal. And definitely a truck worth owning. 🤠
The 5.7 hemi engine is nice. I have a 2021 Ram pickup 1500 with 4 wheel drive, duel exhaust, trailer towing package, and cloth seats-I love it! Hope you got a good deal!😊
Me too !! Had to replace my RAM 2013 Hemi work truck. The new 2024 4x4 Hemi rides like a dream (MSRP $62K paid $50K) sold my old truck for $20k - these are great trucks. Tried a new F150, but my 2013 rode and sounded better! So glad I took a hard pass on the Tundra... now that's a loser.
I got a used one with 60k miles for 26K 3.92 rear end, 5.7 hemi 4x4 tows 10,000 pounds really good but I might be looking into a bigger truck because pretty soon I want to get larger trailer and the truck will be maxed out with that trailer.
I got a 23 ram Bighorn a week ago. 63k MSRP with all the options, got 6300 off due to incentives plus another 16k off at the dealer so 22300 total in discounts. They also gave me more than my trade in was worth which knocked another 16k off. I plan on keeping this long term so I was not worried about the value dropping.
I passed on a similar deal only because I really wasn't in the "need" bracket for the truck at the moment. Just saying that because i think more and more some of these types of "deals" are coming up. There are Rebels in the area here with $9,500 mark downs on a $64k truck plus incentives which seem to be around $4,500 so about $14k off and I was offered over bluebook fair trade for my 150k mile jeep. Meanwhile Ford is charging $2,600 to replace a broken taillight on a '23 King Ranch.
Are you in canada ? And the 63k it’s after rebate ? I got a 23 big horn level B equipement premium lighting off road group night edition for 57396$CAD before taxes. 17682$ off in rebates
Its getting close to the covid 2020 discounts. I picked up a new 2019 ecodiesel in the spring of 2020, 25g off of an MSRP of 70G Canadian. 2 yrs later dealers were offering 50G trade in value... if I wanted a 100G truck.
I own a '20 BigHorn Laramie Eco Diesel loaded...12K towing, and mileage rated at 29 mpg... Get roughly 630 range hwy... Performance is excellent, and never looked back at Hemi when I bought first EcoDiesel in 2014... The best mileage on my previous 3 Hemis was 14 City, and 17 Hwy... Even doing 80, still pushing high 24/low 25 mpg... I won't go back to Hemi...
Just traded my Subaru Outback on a NEW, never sold 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock quad-cab 4x4, MSRP was $52,450, I got it for $38,990. It is oddly optioned with everything that was available except the 5.7L. I wanted the V6 since I use to have a 2014 RAM 1500 with the V6 and it was great, got impressive mileage. Anyway, my new 2022 (purchased in Feb 2024!) has the 8.4N display, protection group, electronic package, towing pkg with power mirrors, power sliding rear window w/def., bedliner and the 3.55 read diff. I don't think I could have gotten a better deal. At the same dealer they had a 2023 Bighorn Quad/ short bed 4x4 with the 12in screen + nav, MSRP was 66,200, marked down to $48,999.
so I bought a 23 ram limited granite Night edition fully loaded with lvl1, sunroof 3.92 bought in march, listed at 81k, I paid 72.. Rates hadnt gone up that much yet. prob could have waited until now, but there was no inventory on this build. had started the ordering process which would have taken 9mo, but then found this one incoming out of state. got it off the delivery truck. prob take a loss on it, but its the one I wanted, oh well. at the time, some dealers were still marking over msrp, Like for a Tahoe or cadi..
I bought a 2024 ram 1500 trading a 21 ram 1500 that depreciated less than 10k in the 3 years I owned it and got dealer discounts and 7k incentives in the trade. Both Big Horns. The 24 is a built to serve. Last year, for the limited built to serve last year for 8 cylinders
I love my 2013 Ram Laramie/Longhorn (175k on it) but could not find the trim I wanted so went with a new 24 Platinum Tundra I-Force Max (paid $65k cash/Sect 179). The 2013 owes me nothing but needs a new rear-end & manifolds. The old 5.7 Tundras I owned (180-200k) never had a mechanical issue but the 12mpg sent me to Ram.
I am not sure I understand this video. It is titled do NOT buy a Ram in 2024. Then tells the watcher to target a 10% discount when shopping. As a current shopper out to buy, most dealers are offering me 2024 Laramie at close to 17% off MSRP. You also mention that the 2025 is coming soon with some changes but don’t really discuss that it will NOT be available with the Hemi v8 anymore. To me being able to get the last year available with the v8 may help retain its value because some people swear by them. I ended this video still wondering, why should I NOT buy a 2024 RAM 1500?
Been looking at Ecodiesel Laramie's. Shopping around you can find up to $20k off a '23---have to travel to get one but at that kind of discount it makes it worth it to either fly to pick it up or have it shipped. I own a '17 Ecodiesel Big Horn and love the Laramie interior. Hopefully I'll smarten up and keep mine as it only has 112k miles on it and has never been in the shop......hopefully........
Absolutely do not get ECODIESEL junk engine. Get 2500 within 6.7 Cummins. Eco diesel is terrible ITALIAN DESIGHED AND BUILT PC OF JUNK. YOULL GET JUST ABOUT SAME MILEAGE WITH 6.7 IN HEAVIER TRUCK.
I was able to score a RAM TRX final edition for 12k off sticker. No dealer add ons or nonsense. Just having it shipped from Missouri to California. I agree with a lot of this advice but there are still good deals out there. Some dealers were still doing silly markups!! Good advice.
I won’t ever buy a ram. Which is sad to say. Been a Ram fan for a long time, but with the Hemi being replaced for a damn V6 I’ll never look at a ram again. I get electric is the hype, but I’ll never buy a truck unless it has a V8 or diesel engine
@@Kutaway74 it's not about the numbers for me. It's about the sound a V8 gives off. If I cared about numbers I'd buy a 3/4 ton diesel. I like my trucks to sound like a truck, not a piece of crap.
@@Kutaway74 Read up on it, they are cutting corners such as no cast iron cylinder liners on the block. Lots of plastic where there shouldn’t be plastic. Also look what I4 that this I6 block is based off of and it should scare everyone away.
I just leased a 2024 1500 Tradesman for 410/mo for 39mo/12k. Made sense with family discount and there was a "sale" going on through our families dealer they've been with for years. Hit right on the money for the cost I was looking to spend per month. Thing is barebones, stock features, but it'll get the job done as we needed a second vehicle ASAP and I've wanted a pickup for a while to make projects and roadtrips easier. Once the lease is up, will definitely be upgrading to something with better features though, probably sticking with Dodge lol
@@danielmilligan3631 Ourisman CDJR of Woodbridge, VA. I would say to look at any high volume dealer. They are looking to move volume and the profit margin is a lot smaller because of that.
Ram does deal. I bought a brand new 2020 Bighorn Crew Cab 4x4 for $39K. I love it, mpg is crazy 32hwy, 17mpg pulling 6K pound camper. No problems at all, currently have 30K on the odometer. I do like the baby duamax (roughly the same specs as the Ecodiesel) buy they are WAY overpriced. I'll jus keep my rig for sure.
I bought a 2018 Ram Cummins 3/4 ...@32,000 miles the factory transmission started acting up and was replaced . @68,000 The rebuilt transmission that MOPAR gave me failed. Inbetween the engine front seal went out and the entire engine had to be pulled along with a few other problems. Then my truck sat over 3 months. Of course the dealership was more than happy to keep holding onto it when I told them I was done playing their games. My cousin traded it for 42,000 to get a Chevy for one of our hired hands . Truck was valued at 54,000 bought new for 68,000 . They fixed transmission immediately when they knew they could resell it and it was gone within a month. RAM is not what they used to be. My 2010 3/4 Cummins was awesome .
Pfft. My 2019 Laramie (custom built) had a sticker of $55,000 and I got it for $45,000 using my Costco membership. This truck has 92,000 miles. It's going to Costco today for it's 3rd set of tires. It's been everywhere around the midwest due to my daughter's competitive gymnastics. It's an excellent family vehicle. Sadly, I cannot afford to replace this truck at today's prices (and I don't want e-torque or a six cylinder turbo) so I'm going to have to keep it for a long time. I had one of the first Gen 5 Rams in Kansas City.
My 22 ram 1500 5.7L did not deliver best mpg until about 25,000 miles. I now get 17 mpg city & 20-21 mpg highway. For a full size V-8 truck I am happy.
A friend just bought a '23 Laramie Crew cab ... about 15k off the 71 list. I think he should have paid thousands less. Dealers appear to be offering nearly this kind of discount on '24s.
That’s awesome. What was the out the door price? What trim? Laramie, big horn, limited? Also what engine did you end up getting? V8, diesel, v6, etorq? Very curious lol.
My 2016(sold) and my 2024 Laramie is comparable to a luxury vehicle. It fits our needs perfectly. Equal or better ride and features than infiniti, Lexus, and bmw’s I have owned. I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to buy and drive.
I'm wanting a new rebel but out here in San Diego they are going for 78k to 89k I have found some 2023 models but still way over priced. I payed 56k in 2016 for one & thought that was crazy!
I currently have a 22 TRX that I’m holding onto for a while. I’m done with Ram’s non-existent customer service. Next vehicle I get will be a Ford truck.
After the videos I’ve seen on Ford owners getting screwed on warranty matters, you might want to rethink that. Ima former Ford truck owner and will never go back due to plunging quality. Toyota Tundra is a far better vehicle. My Tundras have been bulletproof
The amount that Ram has increased prices since just 2020 should drive buyers away. My truck stickered 56k and I paid 43k for a fully loaded bighorn crew cab 4x4 before TTL in 2020. I’m going to drive the wheels off of this thing.
All manufacturers have done the same % increase. Ford, GMC, Toyota, and RAM all have top spec 2025 models at $88k & $89k. TFL Truck just did a cover on this exact phenomena.
Good luck with that hemi eating cams due to it going in eco mode and shutting down cylinders. Chevy did it to their bulletproof 5.3 v8 and now it does the same thing.
I just leased a Bighorn 24 night edtion around 60k msrp for 850 for 42 months. I did have about 7 in negative. The rebates were about 5700. I put 2500 down. We qualified for the lowest interest with tier 1 through capital one. I figured I could get out of the lease in 36 months if there are no penalties. My previous payments were 815 for 72 months. So my crazy way of thinking in 3 years . I could get into another truck without any negative equity and probably lower the payment.
RAM has been producing low-quality products for the past four years, and it’s time for them to leave the market. I’m the owner of a 2018 Ram Eco 1500, and it’s the worst truck I’ve ever owned. In 4 years and 154,000 miles, I’ve had to replace the engine twice and the transmission. The engine can’t even make it past 75,000 miles. Overall, Ram trucks are not reliable and not worth the money or your time.
I’m just pissed that I have problems with water leaks with my last two rams. Gen 4 and Gen 5 models have water leaks from the rear glass. Stay away. The mold is harmful
Had the same ram problem. Told my service man while I was there cause my heater core went out and he told me it was a recall on the back glass. He ordered me a new one . I asked him and he said stelantis updated this one from the old one. Check with your local dealership. My ram is a 2019 bighorn.
I have a 2021 Big Horn “Built to serve” special edition model which is basically a Laramie trim. My lease is up in April and the buyout is $30,800 plus $395 disposition fee. Is it worth it to buy it off the lease? I currently have 27k miles on the truck and the lease of 12k per year at 36 months so I am 9k miles under.
Buy a 2023 ram 1500 3.6 at $49000 🤔 low payments at 5yrs. I’d might consider trading my old ram hemi 😂 as soon as anyone drives any new vehicle off the lot the value depreciation is comparable to any
Why did you do a payment video? Could you not have done a $70,000 base price, look for a this percent discount for a net price of...and include your state sales tax and license fee. I have to assume a good portion of the buyers of higher priced vehicles pay cash.
Lmao. They all doing the same thing. All the automakers are in shit. Now Toyota is doing it. I know people with 22 and 23 tundras trying to trade back in do to the engine recall and they getting offered very low trade in value. People buying vehicles when dealers are charging big mark ups are in for a big surprise down the road.
Absolutely horrible advice here. You're talking about the discounts from the manufacturer only ( $7k off a $70k truck. ). You mention nothing about hammering the dealership for whatever they are willing to knock off the sticker as well. You can currently get $12-15K off 2024's with $60k+ sticker prices......and even then, the yare still over priced. You'll see these trucks at 25% off later in the year.
Who buys a leftover to get rid of It Everyone has a different reason. They're buying a truck. If you're buying a truck to get rid of it in 3 years, then yes, if you're keeping it for 10 years as a work truokay, then it doesn't matter. If you're buying a truck to use as a car then you're just dumb
Of course you shouldn’t buy! As the dirty little secret goes, for as long as I remember.. Chryslers & Dodge products have always brought the worst LTV compared to any other brands. EOS..
How do you have 90k subscribers when you advise leasing? No one should ever lease…ever. Guess your fans and followers are low credit low information buyers. Doesn’t seem like you know how to negotiate at all
@@kenbaskin803 I just negotiated a very lightly used truck $1,400 over trade in and $3275 under NADA value with no dealer addendums which had been on the dealer's lot for 70+ days. I know what I'm talking about. Leasing is like renting...you pay money and have no equity. Go troll someone else with generalities and not backing up your statements with facts.
I have 2018 Ram 3500 BigHorn. Listed at 62k bought at 48k and 1.9% interest. Just went to dealer for service amd sales mng offered me 50k for my truck based on buying a new truck. I only have 61k on truck and zero issues. Buy low mileage used 2018. 2019/2021 have CP4 fuel pump which is junk. Now people see why we need Trump back...fast
Dude You're so wrong! YOU'RE SO RIGHT about leasing thou! Go out and check the real world, numbers...( pain in the butt ) took me a week and seven dealership (((300 miles driving) ((I should had not to do that after the deal was made over the phone!))(six of them try to throw some sticker BS in there) I guess 7 is a lucky # they wanted to sell and see me as not a laydown for stickers B.S.) )) But i got my 4x4 2023 Hemi on my term on the last day of the programs. No way to get 10% off the dealers need to keep the lights on($3K to $4500 is Max. seen like four invoices hold back and all)! But what i got with the 2023 4X4Hemi is : $10k from the factory+2X3K from Crysler Cap.(loyality)+$4460 Dealer discounted from MSRP and took off the B.S. stickers +$1K Costco. That's close to $21K. My pymt is $85 CHEAPER than my 2021 Diesel two by truck and the MSRP is like $13k higher (=aprox.$$390pymt/mo) on my 2023 4X4 Hemi My residual is almost the same as on the 2021 just bought it out for $28461+Tax($2206 Biathc) But i have two friends ready to pay $33000 bid( Carmax was $32K No TAX)-still let them bid it out- for a 19k miles weels all the goodies diesel Big Horn. The Reason I bought it out not selling it to Carmax for $3500 profit because I'm might just keep it , cause I love it, tows like crazy and 22mpg at 80-106Mph, 34.6MPG@70MPH on C.C.1900rpm, but i have to have a 4X4 Which i have now " 2023" YOU ARE DO NOT THINK I WILL MAKE MONEY ON IT? LOOSER DEAL??? Last nine yrs i leased 18 vehicles for me-family and other twenty plus for friends(my last lease prior to the 21 Ram was a 2019 Cady and Carmax give me $3800 ((noTAX)more than what I payed for New and used it for 22months so far i made money on all my last 18 lease and did not had to toss the key back). GO and BUY or LEASE 2023 RAM (best to lease especily if you leased from them before $6k extra reason to get the 2023) I got mine last day of the program but they extend it for one more month. "DO NOT GET THE 24 or 25 ....."2023 is THE WAY TO GO!!!!" Do the numbers, this is insane Cap and Adjusted cap reductions, MSRP-residual and the money factor is what it's. NUMBERS NEVER LIE------LIERS MAKING UP NUMBER'S!!!! Every new car is loose 15-30% soon as 10sec. and 10" from the dealers side walk! If the money is right you have a lower milage 1yr older or a milage deduction for 1yr newest(your choise or $s----I do everything by the $ symbol). I will let You know in 3yrs but I think i will make money on this 2023 if not ($85 cheaper/mo.$13k moore truck and they made my 1st mo. pymt. 0 down,the only way to lease!!) I just toss the key back and get a 27 or 2028 and I went wrong the 1st times in the last 12yrs(but how can I?No more hemi and with this #,$s?)--! Do your own numbers and think about it! Make sence? Do not just listen and take it for granted. Just wanted to peep's see the other side, because the coin has two side. I normaly do not post but........... I DISAGREE 100% with DO NOT BUY 2023. And if he is a car negoition guy he should know it, better than say DO NOT BUY 2023!
How is this a C? It’s a $70,000 truck in the $600 range. What do you expect? $350 a month?
Too much too ask for? 😂
I totally agree with you sir. If a person is complaining it more than likely is not their budget. Nothing wrong with that. Buy what you can afford.

@@Kutaway74 Read up on it, they are cutting corners such as no cast iron cylinder liners on the block. Lots of plastic where there shouldn’t be plastic. Also look what I4 that this I6 block is based off of and it should scare everyone away.
I’m so confused, Ram discontinued their V8 Hemi?
@@c.juneau410 yes they are. This is the last year for them
I just leased a 2024 1500 Tradesman for 410/mo for 39mo/12k. Made sense with family discount and there was a "sale" going on through our families dealer they've been with for years. Hit right on the money for the cost I was looking to spend per month. Thing is barebones, stock features, but it'll get the job done as we needed a second vehicle ASAP and I've wanted a pickup for a while to make projects and roadtrips easier. Once the lease is up, will definitely be upgrading to something with better features though, probably sticking with Dodge lol
I bought a 23 Ram 1500 this week with MSRP at 60k. I got fully loaded for 40k. Deals are out there if you are patient.
Where did you get that deal
@@danielmilligan3631 Ourisman CDJR of Woodbridge, VA. I would say to look at any high volume dealer. They are looking to move volume and the profit margin is a lot smaller because of that.
Ram does deal. I bought a brand new 2020 Bighorn Crew Cab 4x4 for $39K. I love it, mpg is crazy 32hwy, 17mpg pulling 6K pound camper. No problems at all, currently have 30K on the odometer. I do like the baby duamax (roughly the same specs as the Ecodiesel) buy they are WAY overpriced. I'll jus keep my rig for sure.
Is that v6 at 32hwy? That’s really good
I bought a 2018 Ram Cummins 3/4 ...@32,000 miles the factory transmission started acting up and was replaced . @68,000 The rebuilt transmission that MOPAR gave me failed. Inbetween the engine front seal went out and the entire engine had to be pulled along with a few other problems. Then my truck sat over 3 months. Of course the dealership was more than happy to keep holding onto it when I told them I was done playing their games. My cousin traded it for 42,000 to get a Chevy for one of our hired hands . Truck was valued at 54,000 bought new for 68,000 . They fixed transmission immediately when they knew they could resell it and it was gone within a month. RAM is not what they used to be. My 2010 3/4 Cummins was awesome .
I'm not sure I fully understood this video and it just ended...da heck!
Pfft. My 2019 Laramie (custom built) had a sticker of $55,000 and I got it for $45,000 using my Costco membership. This truck has 92,000 miles. It's going to Costco today for it's 3rd set of tires. It's been everywhere around the midwest due to my daughter's competitive gymnastics. It's an excellent family vehicle. Sadly, I cannot afford to replace this truck at today's prices (and I don't want e-torque or a six cylinder turbo) so I'm going to have to keep it for a long time. I had one of the first Gen 5 Rams in Kansas City.
My son just got one as his work truck. EPA rating is 18 mpg. He actually gets 12 mpg.
Tell him to slow down, coast to stop signs and accelerate more slowly.
I always get better than window sticker mileage. My wife always gets worse.
My 22 ram 1500 5.7L did not deliver best mpg until about 25,000 miles. I now get 17 mpg city & 20-21 mpg highway. For a full size V-8 truck I am happy.
Got a 2022 RAM 1500 with 3.0 diesel last month, loaded for $44k out the door
A friend just bought a '23 Laramie Crew cab ... about 15k off the 71 list. I think he should have paid thousands less. Dealers appear to be offering nearly this kind of discount on '24s.
I just picked up a '24. Dealer discount was $10,000, and and another $7500 off from the 15% off. Hey, I'm happy. I got a hell of a cheap truck.
That’s awesome. What was the out the door price? What trim? Laramie, big horn, limited? Also what engine did you end up getting? V8, diesel, v6, etorq? Very curious lol.
I would never ever pay over $50,000 for a pick up new or used. A pick up is a work truck not a luxury vehicle !
My 2016(sold) and my 2024 Laramie is comparable to a luxury vehicle. It fits our needs perfectly. Equal or better ride and features than infiniti, Lexus, and bmw’s I have owned. I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to buy and drive.
Even a base work truck is 38,000 now grandpa
Yes, and they are sitting on their lots unsold !
I got a 2024 big horn with the hemi for 48 thousand out the door! Night edition at that! I’m happy msrp was 63000!!
I love RAM but the unscrupulous businesses practices from dealers and the crazy MSRPs will keep me away for buying.
This is the video I was waiting for
Looking at 2024 or 2025 Limited. Love all the technology and safety on '25, new engine a little scary.
dealer is asking 46,484 on a red dodge ram big horn with msrp of 62k. what should i ask them for?
Appreciate it alot man
I was about to pull trigger on one
👍👍👍
If dealing with negative equity. Would you leverage a great deal on a ‘23 or ‘24 lease ?
I'm wanting a new rebel but out here in San Diego they are going for 78k to 89k I have found some 2023 models but still way over priced. I payed 56k in 2016 for one & thought that was crazy!
I had a 20 lease and grabbed a 24 in November on lease with 20k off.
Do you have a video explaining how the money factor works?
looking at all these replies, and what people are paying for these trucks, makes me feel really happy about my 2015 Mercedes S550 I got for $28K lol
If you're still offering personalized guides, I'm looking a New/Still on lot 2022 RAM 1500 Limited EcoDiesel w/ 3800miles. MSRP $77k Asking $67k.
Is it worth buying a leftover 22’ Dodge Challenger Scat Pack, one dealer has 15, original MSRP was 58k they listing for now 45k.
Scat pack is just glorified RT it’s alright price wise, but not good enough to be “oh I gotta get it”
@@dontdoxmebroscat is 485hp, rt is 370. Scat has more options, totally different cars
Where?
Bought a ram bighorn 2022 sticker price 51k got it for 37k
Ya but in a lease if you damage it your screwed
They'll probably have more discounts once the 25 come out next month
Can you please do a f150 or a sierra.
I currently have a 22 TRX that I’m holding onto for a while. I’m done with Ram’s non-existent customer service. Next vehicle I get will be a Ford truck.
After the videos I’ve seen on Ford owners getting screwed on warranty matters, you might want to rethink that. Ima former Ford truck owner and will never go back due to plunging quality. Toyota Tundra is a far better vehicle. My Tundras have been bulletproof
Stay FAR away from ford right now until they get their QA figured out. They’re a dumpster fire right now.
@@mountainlife1165 I'm waiting to see how the twin turbo six cyl holds up in these.
@@ArnoldsDesign time will tell…
@@mountainlife1165 👍
Will there be any discounts for 2025?
2024 Limited MSRP of 87,400. Is 78,400 out the door a good deal? Would rather be at 75,000. Invoice is supposedly 81,555…
Definitely sounds decent
RAM still has 2022's sitting on dealer lots at MANY places.
They are that over priced when they drop the price they are still over priced. Start building cars consumers want like they used to.
Got my new 24' 1500 Limited for a steal 🔥🔥
What is a steal? The price.
The amount that Ram has increased prices since just 2020 should drive buyers away. My truck stickered 56k and I paid 43k for a fully loaded bighorn crew cab 4x4 before TTL in 2020. I’m going to drive the wheels off of this thing.
All manufacturers have done the same % increase. Ford, GMC, Toyota, and RAM all have top spec 2025 models at $88k & $89k. TFL Truck just did a cover on this exact phenomena.
Ford has marked them up just as much and are discounted less
I know you mentioned Granger Ford offering a 4% under invoice for the F150 XL. Any other suggestions to help me get the best deal?
Scour the RAM forums online! Plenty of affiliated dealers there
Don't buy everymans truck
do a video On the gladiator rubicon diesel discounted 18k in my area
Jut got 12k off sticker on a 24 built to serve. OTD at 47k
LETS GO!!
Same deal here. 24 ram built to serve 12k off.
The 2024 is the same as the 2023. No changes were done. So the 2024 is also an aging model.
Good luck with that hemi eating cams due to it going in eco mode and shutting down cylinders. Chevy did it to their bulletproof 5.3 v8 and now it does the same thing.
That's why u just buy a tundra with the 5.7 v8 call her a day 😂
My 2011 went 240k and I was not Captain maintenance
@@ubeuonlyconsider yourself one of the lucky ones.
Since when did John Turturro start making RUclips videos?
The 2023 Laramie is 44k including all discounts
The new one won't have a option for a v8.. ill buy a longhorn hemi v8 now
I thought I would never lease again. Maybe I will now
Imagine buying a vehicle so it will last you as long as possible and not how it will resale so you can stay in debt for life
I just leased a Bighorn 24 night edtion around 60k msrp for 850 for 42 months. I did have about 7 in negative. The rebates were about 5700. I put 2500 down. We qualified for the lowest interest with tier 1 through capital one. I figured I could get out of the lease in 36 months if there are no penalties. My previous payments were 815 for 72 months. So my crazy way of thinking in 3 years . I could get into another truck without any negative equity and probably lower the payment.
You leased with capital one?
@@CharanjitSingh-ze4ll Chrysler not capitol one
Bruh renting for $800+ omg lmfao
sorry but I don't get paying 850/month just to rent. Seems like a huge waste on money.
Do the hd trucks
RAM has been producing low-quality products for the past four years, and it’s time for them to leave the market. I’m the owner of a 2018 Ram Eco 1500, and it’s the worst truck I’ve ever owned. In 4 years and 154,000 miles, I’ve had to replace the engine twice and the transmission. The engine can’t even make it past 75,000 miles. Overall, Ram trucks are not reliable and not worth the money or your time.
I’m just pissed that I have problems with water leaks with my last two rams. Gen 4 and Gen 5 models have water leaks from the rear glass. Stay away. The mold is harmful
Had the same ram problem. Told my service man while I was there cause my heater core went out and he told me it was a recall on the back glass. He ordered me a new one . I asked him and he said stelantis updated this one from the old one. Check with your local dealership. My ram is a 2019 bighorn.
I'm seeing 2019 for around 38K
I have a 2021 Big Horn “Built to serve” special edition model which is basically a Laramie trim. My lease is up in April and the buyout is $30,800 plus $395 disposition fee. Is it worth it to buy it off the lease? I currently have 27k miles on the truck and the lease of 12k per year at 36 months so I am 9k miles under.
Buy a 2023 ram 1500 3.6 at $49000 🤔 low payments at 5yrs. I’d might consider trading my old ram hemi 😂 as soon as anyone drives any new vehicle off the lot the value depreciation is comparable to any
Why did you do a payment video? Could you not have done a $70,000 base price, look for a this percent discount for a net price of...and include your state sales tax and license fee. I have to assume a good portion of the buyers of higher priced vehicles pay cash.
I got a 2500 Hemi ,night edition, lifted, 37s, gooseneck attachment, 12 inch I infotainment for 45,999 in Vegas while out for my 30th bday 😂
My dream car is a dodge ram 1500 lamerie
If you see a e torque badge freaking run!!! Not worth it.
Real good deals and cheap atr 60000.00
2003? its old and I would not touch it.
I would rather rebuild a Ram w250 than buy anything new.
No worries of that last one was a 16 it to was junk
Buy it with 10k miles on it and save thousands!
Don't buy anything!
The way zhitlantis has treated their clients, it will be a frosty day in july before I ever support them. Frankly they can all go under. Greedy prix
Never buy a stellantis ram
They certainly make a cheaper RAM, destroyed the reputation. I just hope this etorque stuff doesn't jump up and bite me in the A.
Lmao. They all doing the same thing. All the automakers are in shit. Now Toyota is doing it. I know people with 22 and 23 tundras trying to trade back in do to the engine recall and they getting offered very low trade in value. People buying vehicles when dealers are charging big mark ups are in for a big surprise down the road.
Absolutely horrible advice here. You're talking about the discounts from the manufacturer only ( $7k off a $70k truck. ). You mention nothing about hammering the dealership for whatever they are willing to knock off the sticker as well. You can currently get $12-15K off 2024's with $60k+ sticker prices......and even then, the yare still over priced. You'll see these trucks at 25% off later in the year.
Wont buy one ... Maybe. Had 2 absolutely these were the worst in shop every week 1 brand new one was lucky could've killed me was very lucky
Who buys a leftover to get rid of It Everyone has a different reason. They're buying a truck. If you're buying a truck to get rid of it in 3 years, then yes, if you're keeping it for 10 years as a work truokay, then it doesn't matter. If you're buying a truck to use as a car then you're just dumb
Your money factor is way off my guy…please tell these people about buy rate vs sell rate…lots to unpack. DO NOT BUY THIS YEAR!!!
Those trucks are only worth 35-40 grand if you pay more than that your one of those suckers PT Barnum spoke about!
im waiting for the ramcharger
It's a 30k truck at best.🤷
That’s true don’t get it. Lol.
Would never buy one period! They suck and break!!!!
Group couldn't pay me to drive a dodge.
I'll never drive a truck with Dodge on the front and ram on the side.bdodge transmissions are crap.
Transmissions for the last 15 years and the Rams are bulletproof and the most reliable light duty truck transmission of The Big Three
Titles the video 1500 and talks all about the longhorn and the laramie. Did I miss something??!
Of course you shouldn’t buy!
As the dirty little secret goes, for as long as I remember.. Chryslers & Dodge products have always brought the worst LTV compared to any other brands. EOS..
RAM went woke. Don't buy anyway! Adios Stellantis, you chose the wrong lane
You sound like a child.
You're so ignorant you don't even know the definition of that word
How do you have 90k subscribers when you advise leasing? No one should ever lease…ever. Guess your fans and followers are low credit low information buyers. Doesn’t seem like you know how to negotiate at all
You don't have a clue what you're talking bout
@@kenbaskin803 I just negotiated a very lightly used truck $1,400 over trade in and $3275 under NADA value with no dealer addendums which had been on the dealer's lot for 70+ days. I know what I'm talking about. Leasing is like renting...you pay money and have no equity. Go troll someone else with generalities and not backing up your statements with facts.
Ram garbage
I have 2018 Ram 3500 BigHorn. Listed at 62k bought at 48k and 1.9% interest. Just went to dealer for service amd sales mng offered me 50k for my truck based on buying a new truck. I only have 61k on truck and zero issues. Buy low mileage used 2018. 2019/2021 have CP4 fuel pump which is junk.
Now people see why we need Trump back...fast
Dude You're so wrong!
YOU'RE SO RIGHT about leasing thou!
Go out and check the real world, numbers...( pain in the butt ) took me a week and seven dealership (((300 miles driving) ((I should had not to do that after the deal was made over the phone!))(six of them try to throw some sticker BS in there) I guess 7 is a lucky # they wanted to sell and see me as not a laydown for stickers B.S.) ))
But i got my 4x4 2023 Hemi on my term on the last day of the programs. No way to get 10% off the dealers need to keep the lights on($3K to $4500 is Max. seen like four invoices hold back and all)! But what i got with the 2023 4X4Hemi is :
$10k from the factory+2X3K from Crysler Cap.(loyality)+$4460 Dealer discounted from MSRP and took off the B.S. stickers +$1K Costco. That's close to $21K.
My pymt is $85 CHEAPER than my 2021 Diesel two by truck and the MSRP is like $13k higher (=aprox.$$390pymt/mo) on my 2023 4X4 Hemi My residual is almost the same as on the 2021 just bought it out for $28461+Tax($2206 Biathc)
But i have two friends ready to pay $33000 bid( Carmax was $32K No TAX)-still let them bid it out- for a 19k miles weels all the goodies diesel Big Horn. The Reason I bought it out not selling it to Carmax for $3500 profit because I'm might just keep it , cause I love it, tows like crazy and 22mpg at 80-106Mph, 34.6MPG@70MPH on C.C.1900rpm, but i have to have a 4X4
Which i have now " 2023" YOU ARE DO NOT THINK I WILL MAKE MONEY ON IT? LOOSER DEAL???
Last nine yrs i leased 18 vehicles for me-family and other twenty plus for friends(my last lease prior to the 21 Ram was a 2019 Cady and Carmax give me $3800 ((noTAX)more than what I payed for New and used it for 22months so far i made money on all my last 18 lease and did not had to toss the key back).
GO and BUY or LEASE 2023 RAM (best to lease especily if you leased from them before $6k extra reason to get the 2023) I got mine last day of the program but they extend it for one more month.
"DO NOT GET THE 24 or 25 ....."2023 is THE WAY TO GO!!!!"
Do the numbers, this is insane Cap and Adjusted cap reductions, MSRP-residual and the money factor is what it's.
NUMBERS NEVER LIE------LIERS MAKING UP NUMBER'S!!!!
Every new car is loose 15-30% soon as 10sec. and 10" from the dealers side walk!
If the money is right you have a lower milage 1yr older or a milage deduction for 1yr newest(your choise or $s----I do everything by the $ symbol).
I will let You know in 3yrs but I think i will make money on this 2023 if not ($85 cheaper/mo.$13k moore truck and they made my 1st mo. pymt. 0 down,the only way to lease!!)
I just toss the key back and get a 27 or 2028 and I went wrong the 1st times in the last 12yrs(but how can I?No more hemi and with this #,$s?)--!
Do your own numbers and think about it!
Make sence?
Do not just listen and take it for granted.
Just wanted to peep's see the other side, because the coin has two side. I normaly do not post but...........
I DISAGREE 100% with DO NOT BUY 2023.
And if he is a car negoition guy he should know it, better than say DO NOT BUY 2023!
Don't buy a PC of junk ram ever junk junk
Google search who makes the most reliable light duty truck. You will find that its ran for the last 3 years
This is the video I was waiting for
