It all depends on your budget. Personally, I do not see anything worth spending the extra $$ on the new body style. Unless they fixed the infamous intermediate steering shaft, of course.

Never buy the first year of a model--you are bound to be the unpaid debugger of any technical or design issues. The advantage is that at resell you could do better with the newer model, however I do not think you will see $4-6,k difference unless you trade it in the first two years.

If you are going to keep the truck for several years (or will be putting a lot of miles on it), then get the classic. If you are going to trade it within 4 years or less, get the 900.

The trade in value on the 900 should be lots better if you trade within 4 years. Past that, it won't make that big of a difference between the two trucks.

Hey thanks for your input , I am from Cali and am pretty much a city guy (poser) with a truck . I have nothing to tow and never will . So what I have decided to do was have one built on the computer at the dealership. Will they stick to MSRP or can they deal a bit ? I would assume that they will stick to MSRP because I am not buying from their lot . I am going with the 6.0 in half ton rather than going 6.0 HD . I figure the weight of the HD would kill me as far as gas goes . Thanks again .

I have since sold my truck in the sig and replaced it with a WS.6 Trans Am . It kills me when I see trucks flossing on me because I remember when I used to stunt ! lol

I pondered the same thing as I was debating waiting for the new '07. The extra $ (several thousand $) wasn't worth the new model IMO and I ended up with an '06 with a nice big rebate and deep discounting.

Also I too never buy the first year of any vehicle. If you do, expect lots of recall notices in your mailbox.

Some Dodge Mega cab owners have terrible problems with the A/C system being woefully inadequate.

When Nissan Titans first came out, Nissan was replacing brake rotors on these trucks after several thousand miles due to persistent warpage.

So what about the MSRP will they stick to it or could i haggle a bit to lower it ?

You should be able to do much better than MSRP. You should be able to easily get them to quoted invoice (check Edmonds) plus $1000. If you're persistent you might be able to get them down to invoice or below. Don't let them give you a sob storry about the rebates, they aren't coming out of their pockets. They really should be working to move the leftover '06 models and the '07 classic models.

Oops, didn't see that you wanted to have one ordered. Look at it this way, even if they had to order one for you or search around and you got them to "invoice" they are still making money. You may not get quite as good of a deal, but you certainly should be able to do much better than MSRP.
