xJackalx Build - 2012 Dodge Ram Longhorn

The Purchase Details -

BOUGHT Beginning of October 2012

By no means I am saying I got the best deal and its meant to help others with purchasing a 2012 (USA)....

Truck Price (55,533.13, which include the tax of $943.13, or $54,590)
Trade in (2011 2500 Mega Cab Laramie HEMI 14K) $35500
Pay off was $31438
Net Trade In was $4061.95
Rebates of $4,000
Total DownPayment ($4,000 + $4061.95)
Balance $47,471.18

So $54,590 - Rebate of $4,000 = $50,590

Off Sticker with Upgrades (If you call them that LOL) $66,784 - $50,590 = $16,194

OK, that confused me but I think I got it.
