#3922 of 3978 Re: Past or Future Incentives and Rebates [kingnh] by 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 3978 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.

#3929 of 3978 GM Incentives by merckx May 22, 2008 (6:42 am)
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? Replies to this message: dtownfb (May 28, 2008 6:23 pm)

Replying to: merckx (May 22, 2008 6:42 am) No one will be able to tell you whether or not rebates will increase on June 2nd (or decrease). It all depends on sales and how much inventory is on the dealer's lot plus other factors none of us have access to. With the way sales are so far this year, my guess is there will be more rebates this summer into the fall.
#3931 of 3978 Wrangler Unlimited dickering by hochmeister Jul 21, 2008 (11:37 am)
Hello,   Jeeps website does not give incentives, but suggests you talk to a dealer in a 'wink wink' they know what the incentives are kind of way. A few dealers claim no incentives, but one tells me there is a $500 incentive. Who to believe. Anyone know the actualy incentives dealers are gettin for Wranglers right now?   Thanks,   Hoch Replies to this message: dtownfb (Jul 21, 2008 3:47 pm) kirstie_h (Jul 22, 2008 6:59 am)
