Hello folks! Bought my 2017 SCREW yesterday. I had been eyeing them for a while but when I learned about the $10k admin fee that all my local dealers were adding to the sticker price, I had pretty much resigned to not getting one. Everyone's situation is different but I just could not justify what appeared to be dealers charging more simply because they can. Truthfully, I was heartbroken. I had fallen in love with the truck and everything else I looked at just didn't compare.

Fast forward a few weeks and I am travelling to Greenville, NC (about 4.5 hours from where I live) and I happen to see one on a dealer lot while en route to meet a colleague for dinner. I was a little early, so I stopped to check it out on a whim. It had everything I wanted; SuperCrew, Lightening Blue, 802A equipment, dual moon roof, power rear glass, etc. The sales man walks up and we had the following exchange:
Me: "What's the asking price?"
Salesman: "What's on the sticker."
Me: "What about the $10k dealer fee?"
Salesman: "We're not doing that."
Me: "Really?"
Salesman: "Yessir"
Me: "Put that on an official quote along with a reasonable offer for my trade and I'll be back in the morning."

To make a long story not quite so long, I was waiting for them when the dealership opened and I drove it home yesterday.

I absolutely LOVE this truck! It's like a luxury car, wrapped in a monster truck, that drives like a race car. Still getting used to the size; I've been driving a Honda Accord for about five years so that's quite an adjustment.

I am super excited about joining the lucky few that own the most bad-ass trucks on (and off) the road.

Welcome and did you ask your wife first or just showed up home with the truck?:crazy:

It had been discussed at length when we looked at them a few weeks ago. Truth is when I called her about this one she actually had to somewhat talk me into it.

If I had just rolled up in a new truck with out having a conversation with her, divorce would be the best I could hope for. Severe physical assault (with probably one of my own deadly weapons) would have been the most likely scenario.
