Employees of our valued partner companies pay 1% below dealer invoice† when buying or leasing eligible new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, FIAT® and Alfa Romeo Brand vehicles.
What happens if the dealer is already selling at under invoice -1% before incentives?
E.g. MSRP is $50K, invoice is $49K, dealer’s price is $48K.
Invoice - %1 (49K - 50k*0.01) is 48.5K.
Would the dealer get any rebates from the program in that scenario?
I’m wondering if it can be used to lower a price even further.
Is there an easy way to find an invoice price on a specific car? Or an estimate depending on the model/trim?
There are some dealers that will use affiliate to give an additional discount beyond their negotiated prices, but there is no obligation for them to do so. Chances are, if you don’t know they will because theyre one of the dealers that participate in forums/work with brokers advertising they will tive more for affiliate, they won’t.
Invoice on a lot of the jeep products is like 2-3% off msrp, so 1% unser invoice is a garbage deal.
Is there any value or reimbursement they get from Stellantis for using affiliate in the way that these dealers do (IE; giving extra discount separate from the horsecrap 1% below invoice). If there’s a loophole for them to monetize it, I’d think other dealers would quickly hop on board. Yet when I was shopping Jeep last year, the local dealers all told me there was no incremental discount for affiliate the way the brokers were offering it. They’re all happy to hop on board for manufactured subidized $, yet here we have some dealers offering something for it and others not. Would really love to know what gives here.
My understanding is they get a ~2% of MSRP minus some processing fee reimbursement for it, but I don’t know the specifics or how it gets processed internally.
