Replying to: icvci (Nov 22, 2007 9:15 pm) And aren't some of the incentives are based upon you using Chrysler financing? Sorry, I guess I consider a "cash deal" one in which you aren't trading something in. I think all dealers like the "straight shot" pricing instead of having to play the trade-in value game. Of course dealers like trade-ins too because they resell your car for profits, but a deal in which the only debate is the price of the car is a sure profit for them whereas a trade-in is not a certain profit. Another thing they like about cash deals is that sometimes they "think" they have made a sale, and then the financing does not go through, and the salesman gets his hopes dashed. I believe you both are correct in that I think dealers do get some incentive for selling the financing. This happened to me when I was talking numbers at a Hyundai dealership this fall. In addition to a small rebate, there was an extra rebate of $500 only if you financed through Hyundai. I asked the appropriate questions and found that you could pay it off after a short period of time (3 months I think) minus a certain fee, and that is was in your favor to finance it for the short period of time and take the extra rebate, even with the tacked on fee. The salesman was definitely pushing for me to finance. I am sure they do get some bonus for selling financing, or they would not do it. The dealers will have to decide between the value of a sure sale and modester profit verses a questionable sale with a greater profit. |

Replying to: maryh3 (Nov 23, 2007 4:53 pm) I'm pretty sure that no one here is. The "D" of DCX sold all but 19.9% of their shares to Cerberus earlier this year after they squeezed everything out of Chrysler they could and we were no longer able to support their Mercedes division. Chrysler engineers are no longer restricted by Daimler being worried about Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep interiors overshadowing Mercedes. Look for some great things coming in the near future.

Replying to: patrickfamily (Nov 26, 2007 4:10 pm) I've already given out the two EC control numbers I was allowed for the year. Starting January 1st I will have two more available. The program runs calendar year to calendar year. If you can wait until January before buying I'll be glad to help you out. There's also an advantage to buying after the start of a new year if you live in a state where personal property taxes are paid each year. The reason is you don't have to claim the vehicle on your 2007 personal property tax assessment.
