That's true about the dealers need to make a profit. They won't stay in business very long if they gave 'em away! <br><br>

 

They're not losing money when they sell at invoice, or even below. The rebates come from the factory; the dealer still gets the 3% of MSRP holdback.<br><br>I talked to a dealer today that said starting tomorrow (Thursday) they were going to offer 14 free oil changes and deferred payments until January '04 if you finance through Chrysler Credit. I don't know if that's just at that dealer, or nationwide.

 

I saw an add for the free oil change deal on the telly last night. It looks national. Oh well, I financed through my credit union anyway for a tax deductible 4.74% and took the $2,500.<br><br>As an aside, I drove up to my cabin and back yesterday. 84 miles each way, 2,000 foot elevation gain, twisty mountain roads, and got 20.2 MPG trip average per the computer. ;D I've now got about 300 total miles on it. <br><br>100 Proof

 

I went to a dealer yesterday to look at 03s and they would only give me 5600 for my 97 3500 CC 2wd with 180k are they crazy or is it just me I still owe 9800 on it. I got 5500 out of my 95 1500 CC 2wd with 140k last year.

 

They want me to put 4000 down to make up the difference is it just this dealer or are they all this way.

Thats what I thought but they were giving me a good deal on the 03 but by time it was all said and done it wasnt a good deal anymore.
