This is true . I bought mine at a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Eagle/Mary Kay dealer
in LaGrange , GA . Ever heard of it ? I didn't think so . They knew what
the other dealers were getting for the trucks , and it took me three weeks
to get it done , but they did in fact sell me the truck under sticker .
They even gave me the rebate for previous owners (like $500) and as I read
it directly from Dodge , there were not supposed to be ANY discounts ,
rebate or otherwise , given on these trucks . It was really kinda funny
because the dealer kept trying to talk me into buying something else , like
a 5.2 Dakota CC , but after much haggling , I got it . He came to the desk
where I was and says "The only way you can get into this truck is if you
pay this much ." It was a rather large payment , but at that point my brain
had detatched from the spinal cord and I was merely a zombie . I found the
words "ok , yes" flying out of my mouth and my wrist began to sign my name
over and over as if by reflex .
Anyway , I just meant to say that I think I was extremely licky to have
gotten my R/T CC in the manner that I did . If it were not for a dealer
with a little integrity and honesty , I do not think I would have ever
gotten one .
Thanks Mike Patton Dodge !
