FCA has a corp deal with management at various plants to let employees drive new cars for really good deals. Some guy or gal was driving this around for 600/mth insurance and maintenance included. The cars and trucks get all the service done because its free.

If the carfax is clean this should be a good buy.

Given the 15k on the hood, 4K off for 18k miles is an ok deal at Best

I priced one of those. Half those rebates don't apply. 4 to 7 off MSRP is more realistic. Most I could get was 7.5k

There are about 2k in one legged discounts after reading
The fine print but the :dillerman: is putting 8k on the hood, rest seems Cali specific ... so around 13-13.5 on hood

We have the same thing here. "Great lakes cash" Etc... I've been seeing internet prices around 10-12 off but actually getting like I said 4-7.

Which is still not bad not bad for a brand new truck.

I'm still not ready to buy so I'm going to miss all these deals anyway. Probably still a few months out if at all.

Cooking the books. One more sale in October might have put them over the edge for a larger FCA bonus program. So they "sell" one car to the dealership and then re-sell it as a used car because they make more money that way.

More than likely a dealership buyback, or lot damage over $2-3k that they’d then have to disclose to a new car customer.

Punching the car as sold vs actually delivering the car are two different things. If I punch it this month for the reported sale then actually sell it in April, I can’t count it then.

It’s very rare for a dealer to sell it to themselves for the used inventory.

Similar practice was allegedly endorsed by FCA

I :member: this ... it must have been some kind of internal BS metric. You can not falsify sales externally as a publically traded company, that's the most heavily audited line of them all.
