#3918 of 3975 Upcoming Honda CR-V Incentives by kokopuffs Jan 28, 2008 (3:56 am)
Does anyone know if Honda is going to have any CR-V incentives in the next few months? I've seen that they have lease incentives and finance incentives on all but the CR-V. I'm in the market for an EX-L, but would prefer to wait until some incentive - preferably financing, is offered. I asked at the dealership this weekend and got the "well we have terriffic deals anyway". Thanks, but no thanks   Thanks in advance.

Replying to: kokopuffs (Jan 28, 2008 3:56 am) Generally the sales people won't know about incentives until the day before they take affect. Honda on ly uses incentives if they need to move cars. I guess you can check the sales of the CR-V compared to last year. If they are slower then maybe Honda will initiate special financing to move them.

#3921 of 3975 Past or Future Incentives and Rebates by kingnh Mar 01, 2008 (10:08 pm)
Is there any way to tell what the next round of Incentives or Rebates are going to be? Common sense tells me thats a big nope, but thought I would ask.   However, there must be a list of the past incentives/rebates for a particular vehicle? I have searched and can not find anything of the sort, all I can find is the current ones. If armed with the last 6 months of historical rebates I can better judge how good the current ones are. I have no idea if the current ones are historically low, average, or great.   Currently am looking at Tacomas and Frontiers which have $2250/$2500 cash back or (0%/36)/(0.9%/60) financing respectively.   thanks Replies to this message: oldfarmer50 (Mar 02, 2008 9:31 am)

Replying to: kingnh (Mar 01, 2008 10:08 pm) "...If armed with the last 6 months data..."   That's a tough one. Good question though. Is there a source that keeps track of historical rebate data.   In a recent new car purchase I had enough lead time that I kept track of rebates on the models I was considering for a year prior to shopping. I noticed that the rebates began to increase in Nov.--Dec and then got progressively greater throughout the winter. They then stabilized as demand picked up in spring. The final increase came starting in July as they tried to clear out their lots.   I've noticed big incentive increases if a new redesign is coming out in the fall so you might want to track that as well.   Maybe someone here knows of a site that keeps track of past rebates. Automotive News might have that info if you have access to back issues.
#3923 of 3975 Chrysler Employee pricing & rebates by smokey75 Mar 22, 2008 (5:56 am)
I just recently found out that I have Chrysler discount pricing available to me through a family member who used to work at corporate. I'm not sure what Chrysler calls their plans or which one is available to me but he said they would issue me a number that I would then take to the dealership. The price would then be fixed with no negotiation. He said it usuallys runs about 4-6% below invoice or 8-14% below MSRP. Anyway, I'm looking at Dodge Chargers & my question is this. They currently are offering a $3000 cash allowance. Should I still get this below whatever the price is?

Replying to: smokey75 (Mar 22, 2008 5:56 am) Depends. If Chrysler works the same way Ford does then your plan price will be 4% back of invoice less any Factory rebates and Dealer Cash. Plan memebrs do not qualify for special offers like college grad, first time buyer, American QH, or any of the private offer stuff.

Replying to: smokey75 (Mar 22, 2008 5:56 am) When I did that a few years ago, it was 7% below invoice, plus any incentives or rebates available to the public. In addition, the dealer told me there was a $500 discount coupon on Chrysler's website, and I was allowed to use that too. You had to go through the "build your vehicle" module on the website, and at the end, the coupon would pop up (or be e-mailed to you, can't recall), so you might check that out just in case.   Hope you get an equally good deal!

Replying to: kirstie_h (Mar 23, 2008 6:21 am) Thanks for the replies... that would be great if I got the incentives on top of the discount.
