Why do they think they can get away pricing a truck at $18k when there are 5 more of the exact same trucks in town priced around $12k?
Sorry, but I don't believe your story. If there were 5 more in town exactly the same why even waste effort on making calls much less visiting the dealer?
Doesn't add up.

My dad owned 2 dealerships at one point. It doesn't matter what you think you got as a deal, you got your head ripped off. The dealership made a whole bunch of money off of you.
You are killing yourself to save a handful of pennies when the truth is the dealership is gonna win out regardless of how awesome you thought you haggled the price down.

Some dealerships put their inventory online, and that's where I see 99% of the trucks. Some are outrageously priced, and IMHO price themselves out of people who actually set limits for themselves.
Here's an example:
I went to look at a truck in Hammond that was priced at $13,994. Within 2 minutes of sitting down with the salesman, he came down to $12,500. I'd be willing to bet that they paid under $9500 for the truck. Why stick to the same outdated model, when high volume dealerships are obviously blowing them out of the water on used cars
