[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1908938, member: 39584"] My experience with dealers is that they're only as good as they have to be. When times are good, they're a-holes. When times are hard, they're hungry and they'll deal. They will still try the usual a-hole tricks, but will fold the second they get back pressure. I've had the best luck shopping out of town, over the phone. Those dealers know they have one chance at a deal while the local guys figure they have you by the short and curlies. For an amusing example, someone here on the forum from Albuquerque had a great buying experience at my local Phil Long. Me? They were game-playing a-holes. Get your deal in writing. Dealers have been known to change their minds about MSRP when they see trucks bringing big ADM. And make sure your dealer has an allocation. Many are happy to take orders without in the hopes that it might fill and they get a sale. These days, those hopes are slim and none and guys have waited more than a year to get stuffed. The order should be in your name, not a dealer stock order. Look around at some of the threads here to get a feel for how they operate. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
