This. Everything is a constant battle with them. They are in for a rude awakening. I had a dealer hit me up today stating they had the new incentives out. I looked through and realized that I contacted them 7 weeks ago about the same car they had. Everything is self imposed at this point. It’s just constantly frustrating.
I was extremely wrong in thinking what today would be and I apologize to everyone.

I spoke with a sales manager that went all in putting together a straw man estimate for me on an '25 RT.
This should cover the territory for at least the Dakotas, MN, IA, WI & IL. There is no 10 days to deal program here.
5 BEV coupons $5000
CTP loaner if in service for 30 days $3500
Affilate $1100
$7500 tax credit
Dodge website coupon increased from $1k to $1500
Conquest is taken away from Midwest
No Stellantis or CCAP $
Be-bah-de-bah-de that’s all folks.

Not your fault. Appreciate the heads up on the incentives.
I’m getting pretty similar line up here on west coast except for 3k on loaner although that might be because it’s a scat pack. The rest is just car discount which is basically direct since the MF is virtually 0. How do you increase the 1k email? Which one is the $1100 affiliate ?
Dealer ended up getting weird with me with numbers. Things kept changing. Numbers kept moving over and over. So, I ended up closing my interest and probably have entirely with the Charger. Dodge dealerships are the worst I’ve ever dealt with. The tactics, scheming and everything is just constant and never ending.

I’m sort of having the same expierence. At this point I’m literally laying out all the rebates and my offer including the MF/RV along with the ads I’m seeing for the $160 a month and other sheets shared here and basically saying here’s my offer. I had similar horrible experiences of bait and switch etc. last time I was shopping a Jeep a few years ago..seems to have gotten even worse now.

The sales manager said the website ‘secret offer’ increased from $1000 to $1500. I think you need to be able to see dealer connect to get the affiliate money. He said that is money that the dealer gets for affiliate deals but he added it to the pile.

I had a sales manager send me a dealer connect screenshot and the incentives in my area aren’t there. I think the Memorial Day ones are probably localized …

Getting very sick of CDJR dealers telling me the discount they offer changes whether I’m purchasing or leasing. I’ve never had that with any other manufacturer. I’m negotiating the deal the same way with everyone else, but they are special for some reason.
Something seems way off with my quote. My calculated (maybe I’m doing something really wrong) shows under $200 is possible but the quote I got was $400 and the dealer is telling me he used my same selling price (I don’t think he did) and rebates and RV/MF. Anyone mind taking a quick look to see? I think maybe the rebates are being used to reduce MSRP instead of actually reducing MSRP and then using rebates? Any help is appreciated!
Move on to the next dealer. This is dealer quote and that’s it. Don’t waste your time.
What do you mean by that - Dealer quote? I’m looking for the discrepancies so I can call them out and negotiate to what the calculator is producing but having a hard time figuring it out. I believe it’s the MSRP and how rebates are being applied but not sure.
The $402 sheet you posted. You are not going to argue them down to $200 whether you are right or wrong.
Okay understood. Does anything look extremely off from my LH calculator?
At a glance, you have $3000 more in rebates in the calculator than they have on their sheet, and the acquisition fee is always $995 on any hybrid/EV from Stellantis not $595.
I forgot that it’s 995 I’ll update. Theirs is missing the ($2k) affiliate and I thought there was more consumer cash.
It just depends on your region, but without the $3000 and with the higher acquisition fee, it’s $334/month. Of course, dealing with them is going to be like pulling teeth, so I wish you luck. As someone who has talked to dozens and dozens of dealers, I feel for you.
The problem on these is because the payment we are aiming for is so low any extra money makes a huge difference for 24 months. So if you miss 1k that’s $40 bucks right there. I missed the fact the the EV registration in the state was over 1k extra so I’m trying to work them to eat it. Will see how it goes.

Also it looks like they are only giving you 3k in coupons when I think the max is 5k, with the extra 2k your payment should be a lot closer to 300.
