On Friday a guy at work said he heard that Dodge announced that they would offer the employee price, did anyone else hear this?

P.J

Hadn't heard that one yet. I would kinda be suprised at that move. I thought the decision by GM had more to do with thier crap product lines and flat sales then with the automotive market?
We got the "Friends and Family" discount when I worked for a "tier one" vendor for Chrysler. (Lear Corp.) Savings were nice, about $2,000 off of a 2001 Stratus. I think the real "Employee" discount would have been about $3500 back then.
A Newark, DE D/C employee told me the other day that the Employee discount is up to 6K on each vehicle? Sounded a bit high.
Imagine what this can do to the USED car market?? My In-Laws have a 2004 Escalade they can't give away at this point! Take into consideration rebates, interest incentives and this new Employee Discount thing, good luck selling a low mile good "new" condition truck in this market!

i ordered my 3500 in april still waiting truck sitting in newark nj for almost a month a guy i know from chrysler gave me an employee number which is 5% below dealer invoice so my 48000$ truck will cost under 40000$

Hummer is now doing the "Employee Discount" as well

P.J

Hummer is GM, right?
Same way they are offering it on the Cadillac's, which is a suprise to me.

whether or not GM is offering dealer pricing is moot, because thier vehicles are STILL priced ay too high, even after the discount.. Now.. a dodge dealer employee discount would be sweet.. I have a buddy that got the "employee pricing" on his new GM, and paid 40k for his truck out the door. Equipped almost exactly like mine, but his had a few less options. I paid 33.5k out the door for my truck.

My truck was shipped last Thurs so hopefully if this employee discount is true it will be available when it gets here. I hear ya on the Chev pricing, a guy at work is all hot on a dually duracrap for $40k with the discounts and I told him he could get a Dodge dually for the same price and have a real truck, he is very confused!

coobie

I hear from a good source (a buddy who works for crysler)that this will be happening very soon & better rebates to boot,maybe late august or sept.coobie

My Sister-in-law is an engineer for DC and I have purchased my last 3 vehicles thru her the "real employee price" is 3% below the factory invoice, not the dealers. In fact the check that I took to pick up my truck from another dealership was more than I paid for my truck tax,tag and title included. DC lost the truck I ordered So my dealership found the eqiuvelent at another dealer. This crap that GM offers, I have serious doubts about it.

STATELINE

A local dealer here had an ad yesterday "one week only, below dealer employee pricing on select new DC vehicles" "this is a limited time program from DC in response to competitors employee pricing program" I may go check this out.

I just heard an ad on the radio that a dealer in Vegas has a big factory authorized employee pricing sale, must be true! Wooo hooo now if my truck would just get here.
