Must be nice indeed. :-)
Here's a little tip that may help out those of you looking for dealers
who aren't setting insane prices on their R/T's... Go find a dealer
in the country; away from the big cities and the poseurs. The one dealer
I saw an R/T at around here was selling it for the $24,400 sticker price.
They said that they would be willing to work down from there. It was just
another truck to them.
The place where I bought my truck sells a HUGE volume of trucks, mostly
to farmers. They could've gotten some R/T's but they turned 'em down
because people aren't interested in sport trucks in this area; they're
only interested in how much firewood or manure they can haul. :-)
