What was your experience with Granger? Did you order from them before and didn't have a great experience or did you inquire about a stock truck on their lot and in their inventory?
Rams are only doing the 0% on the big horn editions. I went to look at a Laramie since it was 10K off MSRP and the best financing you can get for anything outside of the big horn is 6-7%. I looked at GMC, Ram, Toyota, and Ford. Ended up finally finding a dealer willing to honor their price online. Countered the $1750 in rebates you have to give up for the 1.9% with the $2000 Ford Cash I got in the mail. Ended up getting the $12K off sticker with the 1.9% for 72. Had to wheel and deal with 8+ dealers in my area before I got this one. Started using their numbers against each other. Glad I won’t have to do this again for a long time.
PCO cash is almost always a game changer on the lot. It is a helluva tool since you don't have to disclose it until you have the deal worked out. Glad you had that in your back pocket.
It was an inventory truck. In mid February the sales guy tried to tell me the 1.9 promo didn’t apply to platinums and even if it did I’d lose all of the incentives that were included in their advertised price. He was wrong about the 1.9 not applying to platinums and I didn’t dig into if their pricing shown included incentives or not but it’s always been my impression that incentives were in addition to their shown discounts.
That's fair. Granger is still a dealership with a local market and I can understand their approach to inventory models. They aren't making much money, if any, on the orders especially at 4% under invoice or similar on other Ford models ordered through them. I think they are getting volume kickbacks from Ford for volume sales with the special orders and then run their inventory lot like a typical dealership. Whether the person you spoke to knows anything about incentives or not it fairly typical, as I'm sure you'd agree.
