The best way to get a deal in my experience is to shop around online and get dealerships competing against one another. I've forwarded emails from one dealer to the next in search of better deals. Follow the downward spiral in price until it levels out.
Lastly, walk in with your own financing.

Buy it when you can walk up with cash in hand and do some wheeling and dealing!!
That, or just get them to wheel and deal thinking they'll make money off your interest rate and payments. Then go home and pay the loan in full. Make sure there is no pre-payment penalty (there rarely is anymore).
I loved seeing my title show up in the mail a couple months after buying the truck.

End of the month. End of august is good as new models are coming in if you can find a current year model. Call Dave Smith motors first so you know what a good price looks like.I just bought a 2017 2500 ram in February and I called dave smith on dodges and chevys and their prices were no better than what I was finding in WA. Same thing when i bought my last truck in 2003.

Have all the option codes you want, on the last Saturday of the month call and ask for the sales manager at each dealership and ask for his best price on that truck. If they are close to meeting a sales level for that month, they will deal to get that sale. Be prepared to drive there that day and do the deal. My last Dodge in 2009 was a deal done at 6pm last Saturday of the month, MSRP was $38k got it for $26k and was $1750 less than Dave Smith's bottom line. The first price he offered me was $29.1k, he asked how that sounded and I said it sounded like he was going to make me drive to Kellogg. He stated "I don't lose sales to those guys" and offered $26k if I'd come down and do that deal that day. My target was $28.35k, as it was worth up to $600 to me to not drive to Dave Smith. That's exceptional, but we have got at least 15% off MSRP on the last three new vehicles with this approach. If you don't get a good deal, wait another month and try again. If it's cold and raining that day, your chances are better than if the weather is good. Go with their in house financing to get the best price, then refi or pay off after.End of the month.

My dad teaches a college level English composition course which involves a research paper. Students can research any topic, but if they don't have any idea, he keeps a notebook of questions he'd like answered, and they can choose from that. He has had several students over the years research this subject, and this is what has worked well. It's ok to go to the dealership to test drive, but when you are ready to buy don't go to the dealership until you have a firm deal in hand.

Does anyone know about pricing at Northwest Motor Sports? My boss drove over there and got a pretty good deal last year, but has had issues with it since. I am in Spokane, so that is the only time I have heard of anyone buying one there.

Higher than balls on a giraffe! Was not impressed with them when I was truck shopping!

Don't use them. I know several people that have had serious problems with rigs right away and they told the customer they were sol

Buy it when you can walk up with cash in hand and do some wheeling and dealing!!You will definitely get a better price if they know they'll make money on the financing.
Cash is a disadvantage in negotiations.
