Chrysler ads here on Edmunds tout their Employee price ++ program but they do not explain exactly what it is. All it says is "see the dealer" for details. I understand the ++ part to be the traditional rebate (which is available on Edmunds) and special financing. There is no info on the EP part of this though. So my question is how much does the EP discount from MSRP or invoice and is this something I subtract from the published MSRP or is the EP factored in to come up with a new MSRP? For example, if a PT Cruiser is listed on the Chrysler site with a MSRP of $20,700 and an invoice of $19,500 is that the prices before EP or after? |

About 6 months ago I went to a dealer for a test drive and ended up not buying a new car. Just recently I went back to the dealer to check out the new model year and tried to meet with the same salesperson, but they were busy so they passed me off to a new person. Alright fine I thought, if I end up buying they'll split the commission. Well at the end of that visit I made arrangements to come back and test drive a different model, we set the time and when we returned the 2nd salesperson was busy with another customer, so I got passed off to a 3rd salesperson for the drive and started talking price but wasn't ready to buy just yet. Now I'm not sure who to deal with. I was trying to do the right thing by going back to the salesperson we saw 6 months ago, but at this point I've been bounced around so much - can I just email the internet sales department and negotiate through email like I am with other dealers in the area?

Does anyone have an idea as to how a Chrysler or GM bankruptcy would effect dealers? What I am asking is, if a dealer is still able to sell the cars on their lots after a bankruptcy by an automaker, would the prices go up or down, or stay the same? I'm thinking that since the dealer has to pay the automaker for the cars, that generally the prices and process wouldn't be too different from now, unless they were stuck with a lot of cars. Thoughts anyone?
