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

Replying to: kingnh (Mar 01, 2008 10:08 pm) 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. |

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?

There was $3,000 off from GM a 2008 Lucerne...that program ended yesterday. Another program started today('til 6/2)..$3,000 off a 2008 Lucerne. Do you have an idea if the incentives will increase after June 2?
