When I was buying the wife's Jeep we were at a dealership in Spokane.  Got a final price.  Called Dave Smith and said hey is it worth driving all the way out there.  I got the same make, and model with a few extras for $4000 less.  It was worth the drive for me.  Bought a Jeep from them back in 2010 and got the extended warranty, the kind if you don't use it you get your money back.  Didn't use it and got all of it back in pretty quick time.  Recently we had a issue with the Jeep, we were 46 miles over the warranty.  They said bring it on out, they fixed it and didn't charge us a dime.  Would have costs use at least $500.  I'm a Dave Smith fan!

The Bellingham Chrysler dealer (Rairdon's) matched Dave Smith's offer on my wife's jeep, after tax, which surprised me. 

I've purchased quite a few fleet rigs from Dave Smith.  It's quick and easy, and they'll ship them to me for a fair price.  Fleet is a different animal though, with the discounts we get thru our Equipment Manufacturer, there is basically no haggling.

Just goes to show it's worth shopping around I guess.

Yeah we have a thing through my work where we can pay the same rates they pay, which takes the haggling out of it. Buddy used it to buy an f150 last year, but the end of year clearance discounts were more.
I'm going to get that info so I can see what the price would be. If I can get it close to Dave smith or Dennis dillon's prices, I may just buy local. (X pricing is the same at every dealer supposedly).

Anyone have an idea of how long it takes to build and ship a truck?

I ordered my last truck and it took just shy of 3 months.  I was told 6 to 8 weeks.  GM

I bought my 02 Ram from Dave Smith.  Same story, was a few thousand less than any other dealer.  And I checked them all.  I will never forget the sales guy here in Yakima when i told him what they were going to sell me the truck for and I would rather buy it here.  He said 'Son no one can sell you that truck for that price.'  He was wrong - what a tool. 
 Had a great sales guy at Dave Smiths.  All over the phone. Had talked to him about getting the bed rhino-lined.  When I went to pick it up and went to look at the truck he had it rhino-lined and just threw it in.  Then after all the paperwork and as we were leaving he said to be sure to check the glove box on the way home.  Wife opened it and there was a bottle of Crown and a nice thank you note.  We made a weekend of it and went to Silverwood as well.

Oh and i did go back to the guy here in Yakima with my brand new truck just to make the point......

The yakima ram dealers suck. They tried screwing me couple years ago on a trade in then another dip sh it stepped in and was a straight up jerk after i told him i bought a truck at grandview dealership. wont ever buy from them. He was calling me a liar and said I didnt buy one down there and said he even called down there to check, that is until i took a picture of the license plate and texted it to him.

My dad has bought two pickups from Dave Smith Andy been happy both times. He last one was 3-4 years ago, a Chevy 3500 diesel. He saved $12,000 over buying the same truck at Roy Robinson in marysville.

I've bought a few rigs from dave smith...always been impressed.  I was looking at Dennis dillon a few years ago for a new truck and the salesman would never give me a straight answer on total price. They were close to Smith on advertised price but the more I talked to the salesman the less clear I got...had a feeling if I drove to boise there would be games and bs and they'd find a way to raise the price.  Dave Smith guy was very clear, great price, and everything was exactly as we discussed.

Dave Smith sells a lot of trucks because their prices are hard to beat.

I just bought a new Ram 3500 from Dennis Dillon in December. I was kind of particular what I wanted, Dave Smith didn't have it and Dennis Dillon did. The whole deal was done over the phone and was pretty painless, the 8hr drive did suck though. Everything being what it was I would buy there again.

Another Dave Smith fan here.

 I have bought 4 new Rams from them and recently 2- 2017 GMC’s and 2018 Chev truck for our company . I have never found a better out the door price, and I have spent some time doing the research.  I had them ship the 2 trucks in 2017 to our door for $1200.00 for both which was worth every penny.

Another vote for Dave smith

The Yakima dodge dealer is a joke. I bought my truck in for warranty work and the Yakima dodge dealer refused because I did not buy from them. The Yakima Toyota dealer is a crook too. Way over charge for repair s and won’t match other dealers ‘ price s

I recently bought a new 18 Silverado. Called Dave Smith. They wanted $44000 for it. Found the same truck at Bill Pierre for $36000. I was really surprised with everything I've heard of Dave Smith.
