What city?

Most dealer are pushing vehicle out the door with little as .5 cents over
the invoice to what you have listed. Priceline.com does the same or go the
internet to the dealer and do the same.

Hello chris, we received your e-mail from carsmart.com
regarding your purchase request for a dakota quadcab, thank you. I
would
like for you to know that that the truck you are inquiring about is not
available in a 5spd with the 5.9l v8 engine. so i'm quoting you a price
the
same truck with the 4.7lv8 w/5spd manual transmission with the options
you
requested. I'm selling you this truck for $23908 which is $600 over
dealer
invoice.
