Found this on fat wallet

 

www.universitydodge.com

 

I just got this flyer

if you buy a Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab for $32,000

get another Dodge Ram single cab (worth $24,000) for free.

Check it out I called and confirmed it today.

 

This is a pretty good deal I would think.

1) thats if I would want a Dodge.

2) I dont think I can pay the insurance for them both.

 

The new Rams are really nice.

 

That's quite the deal there. I heard on the news about a Chrysler dealership that was giving away a slightly used PT Crusier for one dollar with the purchase of a new Pacifica. You know times are tough when you're seeing promotions like this.

Wow :smash:

 

If I was in the hunt for a truck, it'd probably get me to at least consider a Dodge. :sick:

 

I wonder if its is one of those things where you have to have perfect credit, and all the other terms and conditions? Or they're doing this for 1 guy only.

I'm sure that those are 2008 models; they've been dumping inventory to make room for the re-designed 2009 models. My local Dodge dealers (Austin area) have been selling 2008 Ram 1500's for 50% off (and even more) for several weeks now. My closest dealer has about 30 on the lot, all priced between $30-38k. Heckuva deal if you want a Dodge truck...

Chrysler is selling new remaining 2008 Pacificas (no longer made) for $10-12k under MSRP. So paying MSRP for one and getting a "slightly used PT cruiser" for one dollar is not such a great deal because that PT cruiser is a base model worth about $ 9k. Another gimmick to make you think you are getting a killer deal. :smash:

I went through three Dodges before I wided up and went back to GM.

Worst trucks I ever owned. Every one of them had front end issues. Never again will a Dodge sit in my drive

 

I know some people who have had issues with Dodges as well, but I think I would be willing to give the '09 Ram a chance.

I want to know how it works. Do you get the title to the 'free' one straight up, or do you finance "2 for 1" and get the title to both when they're paid off. If you're handed the title to one right out of the gate then that's like free money if you don't want to keep that one. But - like it's been said, you have to want a Dodge to do that.

Not that I don't love my 08 Sierra...but I have to say, I had two Ram 1500's one extended cab 98 the other quad cab 02 and they were both great trucks that i drove straight through to over 120k miles each without one single trip to the dealer...meanwhile I have had my GMC since labor day weekend and it's been to the dealer once already...and from what I have read on the forums here, I am scared that trip wasn't the last to the dealer... :smash:

Ugh. Free crap is still crap. When I went truck shopping a few months ago I test drove an 08 Ram Big Horn and an 08 Silverado, both extended cabs with the 5.7/5.3 respectively. The Silverado was by FAR the better vehicle of the two; more refined, smoother ride, quieter, far more elegant and an overall feel of quality. The Dodge felt plasticy and cheap with a stiffer ride, despite the Silverado having a Z71 suspension, and lacked a lot of features the Chevy had in the same price range. In the end I bought an 05 Sierra Nevada Edition Z71 and still feel I came out ahead over buying a brand new Dodge.

 

My philosophy is, don't buy anything whose name is a synonym for "avoid."

      The Peckish Synapse

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
