Went to the Ram dealer in FL 2 years ago when the specific truck I wanted was being advertised for $34,000 and listed for about $39,000 .The pandemic was over at this point .It was a v6 with 2wd and the technology package. I was very clear with the salesperson on price and the amount for my trade that was expected. That $39,000 with the market adjustment and ad on extras they refused to remove like paint protection and others the price came to $50,000 , they also only offered us $16,000 for our trade . We took our business to Honda who gave us a great price on a Ridgeline with no markups or extras and we got $24,000 for our trade which they sold in 2 weeks.I have never heard one good review on our local Ram dealers where we live .

I'd love a Wrangler. No way am I paying $40K+ for a base model with tow hitch. Ditto for RAM, F150, Silverado pickup trucks. Vehicles are just too expensive and they need to knock $15K off these prices to make them possible for working people, and reducing by $20K might be required. $50K for a pickup, give me a break!

@BigMikeDTW 6 месяцев назад

This is true. I was car shopping the last few weekends and the Dodge/Jeep dealerships we went to were full to the brim with cars. They had been sitting so long that both cars we looked at had dead batteries! What’s worse is that the sales people didn’t really try to sell me a car and they weren’t really negotiating on price despite the excess inventory. Even with the “discounts”, they were way high compared to competitors. The only other dealership that had issues with excess inventory was Ford and that was specific to the Lightning and Mach-e. They chopped $8k off a Mach-e and tried extremely hard to sell me one but I told them straight up that it’s still way too expensive compared to Tesla. You’re right, it’s a disaster! Stellantis has no compelling products at all unless you want a dated muscle car. The Dodge Dart was an absolute joke at over $40k!

Go to any Home Depot, any day of the week. Look -- there's a guy in his 7 year old Ford van -- delivering garden supplies on a wholesale level. Do ya think he's gonna spend $70,000 on an electric truck that he cannot plug in and charge anywhere because 80% of the electric recharge stations are out of order? There's a couple of home handymen and an electrician, buying things, their 8 and 9 year old trucks. Sure -- they could use new ones. But a new truck -- even a base model -- is $40,000. that means a $600 a month payment, vs a $250 month payment for a good used full size basic truck. Get real, Detroit.

Prices are still sky high here in Canada and there is no way I'm going to pay 40k for a 25k car. There's just no way so I'm doing what a lot of other people are doing and that is to maintain and fix my existing car and keep it on the road. The cost of doing this is far, far cheaper than buying a new or late model car so it makes perfect economic sense. Carmakers have the very mistaken idea that everybody is rich, but they're wrong, we're dealing with unprecedented inflation, doubled housing prices, insane grocery and heating bills, we're just trying to survive and carmakers expect me to pay too much for a new car? It just isn't possible.

Chrysler has been suffering under bad ownership that didn't understand their customers. Fiat leader Sergio said he could turn it around, unless they had a failed model launch. That they might survive one, but two would sink the maker. The Dart didn't sell well, then they had model after model that flopped. The minivan Caravan was replaced by the Pacifica which didn't sell. They dumped their auto manufacturing to Stellantis who also has Peugeot and other brands which have failed in the US and they keep changing their offerings to be more like their European models. We don't want their features, we liked the features we had. They are discontinuing the best selling models with nothing to replace them. It's a mess.

We see Mary Barra manipulating her contract and propping up the stock price while failing to have any plan to transition gm. Although Jim Farley seems like a nice guy he seems to have no idea how to get electric vehicles made that are reliable and cost competitive.

True, now ask Tesla, BYD, Volvo ,and Geely. The folks who make good EV's, who do not make every extra an excuse to jack up prices. And some sold with basic prices which US buyers would fail to believe, they are so reasonable. The BYD Seagull for example sells for less than $12,000 in China. It has most of the gismos that US consumers have to pay extra for. It would kill the US competition for urban runabouts at double that price.

Seriously, lose the EV comment. The problem with inventory has nothing to do with EV offerings, but rather good old fashion economic downturn, higher sticker prices, and higher finance cost.

The problem with the bloodbath that is happening in the Auto Industry worldwide, and the disruption caused by EVs, is phenomenal and tragic, unpredictable in any historical scale or models. Companies often have time to reinvent, and re-focus and reorganise their business to compete. But the problem with EV's is that they came so quick, that companies don't get time to change. And the more conservative the corporate is, the slow it is to enact changes for adaptation, and quicker it falls. Take Mitsubishi China for example, they were just celebrating its record sales in China in 2019 (After being in the market for decades). And in 2020/21/22, sales fell so much that it was less than 10% of its record peak in 2019, and subsequently bankrupt by 2023. Same with Jeep in China. In the early years of 2017/18, Jeep dealership was such Hot property, that people were fighting tooth and nail to get one. Gross Profit was great. Fast Forward the same 5 years, and boom, gone. Stellantis profit is same as Mitsubishis Peak sales in 2019. It is not looking good moving forward. Now, it doesn't mean their are F'd. They still can turn it around if they make rapid changes. If they want to do the "Wait and see how it goes" approach, then it will be all over for them.

There is a EV Wagoneer coming out and it really should have been given to Chrysler. Dodge has also a husk now and directionless. V8s and muscle cars and performance were their goal it seemed and they have axed nearly their wntore lineup without a immediate replacement. The Hornet is a terrible rebadge that is reminiscent of 2000s GM rebadges. A insult to both Dodge and Alfa. Look at Kia and Hyundai, that's how you share a platform. Not pathetic rebadges. Why does Ram really even exist? They should have been kept with Dodge. Jeep is the crown jewwl, yet they are fumbling it. So expensive and they have become very well known for the terrible interiors and are just falling behind. Theg are leaving the customers that could afford their prodoucts and were loyal to them.
