'03 Prices Drop Fast
;D For those of you waiting for a better deal before you invest in an '03 - the deals are here. ;D
Don't know about other regions, but in our market here's the current status (dealers retaining rebates):
'03 2500 ST CTD Quad 4x4 5-speed
MSRP = $34,440
Currently = $29,765
'03 3500 SLT CTD DRW Quad 4x4 Auto
MSRP = $44,125
Currently = $38,697
'03 2500 SLT HO CTD Quad 4x4 6-speed
MSRP = $39,045
Currently = $34,279
Dealer lots here are full. Of the 3 biggest Salt Lake Valley dealers - one has 70 CTD's, another 80, and another 90. I targeted 4x4 prices 'cause here in The Rockies less than 10% of HD trucks sold are two-wheel drive.
I still predict that, by the end of the current Dodge incentive cycle (officially ending Dec. 4th), Dodge will offer either 0% interest or $2,000 cash.
The bad news is, it's probably THE WORST time to try and get the value out of trade-ins I've ever seen.
Best to y'all

Re:'03 Prices Drop Fast
UTAH,<br> I have to admit that having the rebate go up to $2,000 would make the wait a lot more bearable ;D "Smoke" is still KZ. The morning/day shift at DC Customer Service keeps insisting the truck is still being held at the factory for Quality Control reasons 
while the Afternoon/evening shift insists it was at Veracruz on the 14th ;D And of course the dealer doesn't have a clue ??? Guess it will get here when it gets here. :P<br> On the bright side, I just sold the GMC for $2,500 more than what the dealer had offered That helped my mood this weekend. Latter,<br>The Boss Hog

Re:'03 Prices Drop Fast
UTAH, any idea how these compare to Factory Invoice prices? Sounds like they are pretty close or below.<br><br>I was thinking about an '03 but then pretty much decided to keep my current truck. If 0% financing comes along, I will seriously reconsider.<br><br>Vaughn

Yeah, Vaughn - They're pretty much at invoice, that's becoming the standard here. Heck, if they'll do 0% on top of that - how can ya lose? ;D<br><br>Best to y'all<br>Bill

Re:'03 Prices Drop Fast
I got mine at invoice 3 weeks ago. There was also a 500 regional discount (northwest) and the 1000. If you have a month before purchase then go down and pay your 50 bucks to get the Farm discount. They wont give it to you unless you have been a member for 30 days. I tried to get it retro like I did with my last truck and was SOL.
