Yup, I paid 1,000 more for that for the CC version without leather stearing wheel, AM/FM Cassette and 2 wheel ABS. Add in a spray on bedliner and I'm still about 700 in the hole :-(

Fair deal, not great. About $1,000 over invoice I think. I got my 01 QC sticker $28265 for $23815 and there was only an extra $500 rebate over yours. Just as important as the price is though, is the service up to par. Often overlooked when buying. Just my opinion. Congrats on the new truck. Love my QC.

That 25,260 price wasn't the sticker price was it?
I just priced your options and it should have of been much higher. If so you got a pretty good deal. I thought originally that was sticker.

I think I got a great deal also. I used the fax attack to get dealers to bid against each other. The dealer that gained my business gave me part of the hold back money due to I ordered the vehicle direct.

Anyone else have any input on whether I received a good deal? What are other people paying with similar setups?

There was a loaded SLT at the Toronto Boat Show last month that listed at almost $41'000 CDN. Add 15% tax on top of that and you see the kind of prices we pay up here.

i work as a salesman for a local dodge dealer, you got a very desent deal, thats about what most "goog negotiators" get, for 35 bucks the farm bureau savings of 500 is something most people overlook, and plus... its exclusive to dodge also

Forget "goog negotiators" , it's a new car dealin world, accept invoice and nothing else. They don't like it, I know of just two places by me that do it as standard policy. I HATE my local dealership :) I try to stress this as much as possible, you want invoice, you WILL GET invoice. Just a matter of your communication skills..

yeah, me too - everything except the $250 deposit I gave them when I ordered it. thats a great looking ride, CW. How's the black paint been to keep scratch free? I ordered my qc in the black and have heard that it'll show scratches pretty quick. I'll be taking it off-road for hunting and fishing and its bound to whacked with tree branches etc.
