• Inventory Score: 5/10 – average availability of the model.

What Negotiation Looks Like for This Vehicle

The negotiation difficulty is labeled moderate, and the dealer competition score of 4/10 reinforces that you will encounter a few willing sellers but not a crowded battlefield. In this environment, a practical strategy is to:

1. Set your opening offer at the aggressive target of $37,247. This is roughly 9% below MSRP and sits at the low end of the fair‑market range.
2. Leverage the inventory score (5/10) by asking each dealer to match or beat the best quote you receive from the other three. Because inventory is average, dealers will often protect their margin rather than slash prices dramatically.
3. Prepare to discuss financing early. With financing incentives scoring only 3/10, the dealer’s willingness to adjust the price for a cash‑pay or standard financing deal is limited, so focus on the vehicle price itself.
4. Use the negotiation‑opportunity score (6/10) as a confidence boost: there is room to negotiate, but you must be firm and reference the data points above.

Current Financing and Incentives

At this time there are no active incentives listed for the 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn in Chicago. The financing note simply states that standard financing is available. Because there are no manufacturer rebates or limited‑time APR offers in the data, you should plan on negotiating the vehicle price without expecting additional cash‑back or low‑rate promotions.
