Stellantis Q4 sales blitz inbound?

Read this last night and I’ll be curious to see how programs across the brands change this month and through Q4.

Stellantis said it would introduce significant discounts on 2024 and older model-year vehicles while slashing US output to clear excess inventory.

Could this signal a Jeep feeding frenzy?

I was talking to an accountant who has several dealership clients his CDJR client is eating a 6 figure monthly floor plan right now. They are not thrilled, to say the least.

One of my CDJR clients is losing over $1m per month. He has other stores to balance, but man its rough for CDJR stores

If a stern open-letter didn’t help, the dealers know what the next step is - assuming enough of them lock-arms.

WOW. :face_vomiting:

I also assume you’re in accounting? Man I hated those courses with a passion. The majority of it isn’t necessarily difficult but it sure is soul-sucking.

Slightly tangential to this discussion (but Stellantis-related) - has anyone tried to hack the MC20? No trunk money and not sure what the residual/RVs are, but some of the discounts I’m seeing are crazy… Could be a potential future unicorn.

Here is an example:

They can’t even sell their stores because nobody wants them. If nothing changes, I expect a decent chunk to terminate their franchise agreements

whew, much better

Quite a change. As of like ~2 years ago CJDR stores were some of the most valuable non-lux stores AFAIK

So @Siejammy is saying I should extend my FCA affiliate rewards via thread lightly for 1 more year? :joy:

You can let it lapse. Reactivating it keeps your original joined date, so you can instantly get a pin

That’s a move when they run out of moves - they have one or two more if they choose to make them en masse.

May as well!

Let the Jeep brand be free already.

Standalone Jeep stores. Keep the Ram trucks. Sell Maserati to someone who will re-energize it. Light a match on everything else Stellantis.

Its possible. Edmunds admins are telling me the Wagoneer has $6k in rebates so far.

The Wagoneer’s would need some serious money thrown at them, unless the programs changed for the better as well. GW I would’ve considered at the right price…now I’m not sure I’d be interested considering some of the issues on brand new cars. @djrabbi :joy:

At least $40-50K deep discounts for wagoneer
