better look again on all the chrysler pages or on chryslerfinancial because there currently are NO public incentives being offered at this time... that means UNLESS you work for chrysler and are eligible for one of the employee variations, us regular customers are screwed into this one and only "incentive"... whoopee

 

It is a marketing ploy that will work. People paying $4 a gallon on the west coast will jump on this, boosting year end sales without actually really offering anything over and beyond what they are now. The buyers just will not realize the other incentives they are not getting because they were unaware of them to begin with. When they hear $2.99 per gallon they will react rather than invesitgate.

While it seems almost under handed by Chrysler, it was also smart. Hell, if by some crazy thing the dollar rebounds and oil falls they will make a killing.

 

I dunno what you are talking about... http://www.chrysler.com/incentives/I...sController.do

They are actually pretty good incentives, we are planning on going up saturday to trade in our van, and on a new 08 we should be able to get about $7000 off of the sticker...

 

$3.50 a gallon? I wish!!!

 

No it won't on most vehicles taking the gas card is cheaper for the company, but worse for the consumer. Think about would you take 1200 in gas, or 3000 in a rebate? Its the customers that come out as the losers here.

 

No, you just proved my point. say on a ram, the rebate, or lease/consumer cash is 5500. But if you take the gas program its only 3000. So its gonna cost you 2500 in rebates. You think you are going to save 2500 bucks in gas? Gas would have to be about 4.15 a gallon just to break even.

ON some it makes sense, like on the sebring/avenger. But on the vehicles that need it most, they have the most rebates on them.

 

Better click on your own link because it says that page doesnt exist!

Yesterday when I went to the ChryslerFinancial link at the bottom of any of the websites and then clicked on incentives... it gave me nothing, in fact it said there were none, but today there are in fact some there. But all the same this gas card deal is totally bogus and deceptive to those that dont pay any attention to what kind of deal they are getting. Although there are those people out there that pay window sticker for their vehicles and simply just dont care.

OK now I know that the incentives were not listed yesterday because yesterday I went to the build your own truck part and not only were there no incentives listed but the now 2.9% option wasnt there either... So today I build my same truck but in '08 form and basically I end up paying almost exactly the same payments as I have now for a newer truck when I only owe $4300 and exactly one year left of payments on mine with only 56,000 milesso there still is no reason for me to run out and buy a new RAM. If anything I am going to wait for the next Gen of RAM before I think about buying another.

 

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.....

You guys are right. We leased a new 08 Caravan yesterday, and she said that we lose everything except employee discount, and she already figured up the numbers for us. It was either abut $1800 in gas, or $4750 in rebates. She told us the only time it is worth doing the refuel america is if you are BUYING, and especially if you are buying a new ram. Really sucks, because we were looking forward to that.

Oh well, according to my estimate (22 gallon tank, we drove 125 miles (HW), and used 1/8 of a tank, so 125/2.75=45mpg [&:])


Somthing isnt right, but thats what im getting, gonna have to redo it next fillup i guess[&:]

 

It takes a while for the needle to fall from full, especially when it was topped off.
