RE: 2013 Ram 3500 Good Deal Or Not

Yeah that's about it I believe. Local dealer around here sells at $200 over cost IIRC, and they ball parked me right at 6k under sticker price. They still don't have any 2013 3500's though :MSo are you getting a new truck?

RE: 2013 Ram 3500 Good Deal Or Not

I just checked what EP price would be on a 3500 4x4 SLT here and with an MSRP of $50,440 the EP price would be $44061 then you would take the rebates off that price so $44061 - $2000 is $42,061. That is a total discount of $8379 of a 2013 with a smaller MSRP. That margin should be bigger on a more expensive truck unless that out the door price is including tax and title/license.The out the door price include $1000 taxes and $236 for the tag

Chrysler profit jumps on higher sales

DETROIT (AP) — Just three years out of bankruptcy, Chrysler posted a $1.7 billion profit in 2012 and said it expects to earn more than $2 billion this year.
Improving U.S. auto sales — and better products at Chrysler — were the big reasons for the vast improvement over 2011's profit of $183 million. Chrysler sold 2.2 million cars and trucks worldwide last year, up 18 percent.
In the U.S., its largest market, Chrysler's sales rose 21 percent. Chrysler saw strong sales of the Chrysler 200 and 300 sedans, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ram pickup. The Fiat 500 also sold well last year.
The results mark another step in Chrysler's remarkable turnaround. The company filed for bankruptcy during the recession in 2009 and needed a $12.5 billion loan from taxpayers to survive. Chrysler has repaid $11.2 billion, but the U.S. Treasury Department says it won't recover the remaining $1.3 billion. The profit In 2011 was Chrysler's first annual profit since 1997.
Revenue increased 20 percent to $65.8 billion.
The No. 3 U.S. automaker expects net income to rise to around $2.2 billion this year on revenue of between $72 billion and $75 billion. It says worldwide vehicle shipments should reach 2.6 million to 2.7 million, up from 2.4 million last year.
Chrysler's report comes a day after Ford Motor Co. — No. 2 in the U.S. — said it expects to see strong results again this year in North America, but warned of widening losses in Europe. General Motors Co. reports 2012 results on Feb. 14.
Chrysler is now majority owned by Italian automaker Fiat SpA. Sergio Marchionne, CEO of both companies, told the company's 63,643 workers in an email that they would get performance bonus payments, although the amounts were not specified.
"The credit for our turnaround is yours," he told the workers, including 43,000 in the U.S. "There can be no more doubt that our comeback is real. Your phenomenal efforts have put us on a road with an endless horizon in front of us."
In slides posted on its website, Chrysler said it plans to roll out several new and updated vehicles this year and beyond:
— A new small crossover SUV this year to replace the aging Jeep Liberty. Updates to the Grand Cherokee large SUV and the Compass small SUV.
— A new Ram commercial van will debut this year, as well as updated heavy-duty Ram pickup.
— An unspecified new Alfa Romeo vehicle for North America this year.
— A new version of the Chrysler 200 midsize sedan, to debut in 2014.
— The previously announced long version of the Fiat 500 mini-car. No more new products until 2015, when the brand gets up to six new models.
Marchionne also said a new minivan is coming in 2015, but it and other new products have been delayed by a lack of money. "We could have moved on the minivan faster if we had unrestricted access to cash," he said. Chrysler says it spent $4 billion on capital expenditures last year, and it plans to hold that about steady in 2013.
He also said he wants Fiat to fully own Chrysler "as soon as I can afford it." Fiat now owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, with the rest owned by a health care trust for retired union workers. The trust has asked Chrysler to start the process of a public stock offering so it can sell its shares. Chrysler says the process will take eight to nine months.
"I don't see the future of Fiat and Chrysler as being separate, "Marchionne said. "I see them as one entity at some point in time."

RE: Front lounge? What do experienced folks think?

We have the 2013 Cedar Creek 38FL (Front Living) and love it! Here are some real world experiences we have had so far with limited time in the unit:
Floor plan that the boss liked - she just likes the front living area over other plans.
No problems standing/sitting or seeing the TV.
Love the fireplace heat - works great
Have 2 ACs - assume it will get hot up there in the summer without
Seems to have less under storage based on reivew of other floor plans we looked into. But not a problem for us.
Heavy - but honestly just as heavy as many of the other units we looked at. Pin is heavy but our 350 handles no problem.
Counter space - Always want more, but have enough for us
Residential Fridge!!!

Ford recall

Ford is recalling the 2013 Escape and Fusion for engines that can overheat and cause fires, the company said late Friday.
About 73,320 Escape and 15,833 Fusion models in SE and SEL trims equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine are affected, the majority within the U.S. No other models or engine types are affected, Ford said.
Ford said that drivers who see instrument panel warnings such as “Engine Power Reduced to Lower Temps,” “Engine over temp, stop safely” or red lights and chimes should "safely pull off the road as soon as possible, turn off the engine and exit the vehicle." At least 13 fires have been reported to Ford, and all but one have occurred in Escape models, according to Automotive News.
