Buying a RAM from a dealer or an owner
Comparing the same model year on both sides — 22 years of listings, 8,475 from dealers and 3,461 private — a dealer-sold RAM asks 23% more than one sold privately, 1.23× at the median. That premium buys reconditioning, a warranty in some states and paperwork someone else handles; whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you would rather do yourself.
Drawn within each model year on purpose — a flat comparison would put the RAM dealer premium far higher, but only because dealer stock is younger, not because the markup is bigger.

- No ads, no tracking — and much more
How we count
All RAM figures on this page come from 16,137 live RAM listings — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — average every RAM listing by seller and the dealer premium looks far bigger than the honest 23% above, purely because dealer stock is younger. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which on RAM leaves 9 models standing out of the 9 tracked. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
