I got as far as offering them my trade in and 35K cash and he said we were still too far apart and wouldn’t budge. He let me walk out when I had wife on board for a 60k truck and we were within 3 grand. They haven’t tried again or with a different slightly less expensive truck. This morning I wouldn’t shake hands on the same deal now that the sexy new truck glamour has faded from my eyes.
You must have been dealing with Jerry Ulm Dodge
I did the same thing about two years ago on a brand new 4x4 for almost the same aspects with a cheaper trade in. I walked in with a bankers check and my trade in...Walked out the door with the bankers check and trade in

You are not far off on the dealership but it wasn’t that one.
Situation you described is identical to mine - I called my insurance company in the parking lot before going in to see how much more it was going to cost me on 6 month premium. I had both sets of keys and a paper title with me and a check for 33K - I was ready to make a deal.
After I had put another 2K in cash out of my pocket and he still wouldn’t move on price or trade in the deal was done I had to walk.
Now convincing the wife to let me spend that much again is a huge long shot. You drive home in a truck that does 90% of what the new one does and you own it free and clear ... the magic of a new car and huge new payment seems a lot less sexy and glamorous.
