Rebates and Incentives

[Sregorb]

Is there a trend for rebates and incentives thru the year? I saw a 0% financing ad in the paper and thought my new Ram prayers had been answered. Until I saw the fine print, "Does not include Caravan and Ram pickup vehicles". $%#@!% So close.

I'm told now that the $2000 rebate for the 01's is done and 02's are gearing up. Are there normally Christmas/New Years timeframe rebates or are they only for end-of-year tools to clean out inventory?

If they offer a $1000-2000 rebate in the near future I'll take it! Otherwise I'm looking at waiting until year end closeout.

Sorry, I haven't followed the Ram buying scene long enough to divine trends.

I was told the other day that there is still a $2000 rebate towards all remaining 01 models and the 02 models came out with a $1000 rebate.

If you don't have a truck then now's the time to buy. Car sales for every manufacturer are at a low because of the slow economy and the terrorist happenings. Car manufacturers are giving away the interest or darn near giving it away to get people to buy. Last night I stopped by a Dodge dealer and the salesman said there is currently a $2,000 rebate on the HD trucks... couple that to the fact that every dealer in the Seattle/Puget Sound area is advertising trucks at invoice prices makes it cheap to buy whatever you want.

See that's what I was thinking too. But a quick call to the dealership I want to use says no rebates at all (except the $500 farm bureau) on 02 2500's! So I visited the Dodge web page (4adodge.com) and they show no incentives or rebates for the Ram. Alot of others but nothing for the Ram. I'm wondering what the end-of-year rebates are going to look like if this economy keeps going then. Major savings!

in my area there is a 7-8 thousnd dollar total discount on msrp for all 2001 Ram trucks. I saw a quad cab diesel auto w/trailer package for around $25,000

I just bought a 2002 on 9/24/01. The only incentive available was 0. 9% financing for 24 months or a $500 rebate. The day after I bought mine, both of these incentives were dropped. The good insentives are on everything but the Rams.

Just bought a 2001 2500 on 10-2. They said that was the last day to get the $2000 rebate. Paid invoice.

If you can wait 30 days before you purchase. Join the Colorado Farm Bearu. Pay $45 for a membership and they will give you a rebate of $500. Best $45 dollars I spent.



You can add this rebate with the factor one.
