Well they also have a much better product than LY. Their current line up is great. The HD truks and regular 1500s are just great. JL we covered off in detail.

I wonder if they will do 0% financing on the Jeeps... that 5% crap they are running is just garbage.
I'm sure they will at some point. With interest rates rising, 0% is "valued" more by customers than just cash on the hood.
It makes the payment shoppers happy. 144 stretch pay and its "only" $300 a month. :derp: 's

You'll never see 0% on a term longer than 60 I bet. 144mo stretch pay has ridiculous interest rates to make it worth while.

FCA does 0% for 72 quite frequently.

Still? I haven't seen much 0 for 72 from anyone in the last few months.

I'm almost certain that they did 0 for 72 towards the end of last year.

You can get 0 for 72 or 15k off :lol: if you're too poor to take advantage of that you have no business driving a new car.

I don't see 0 for 72 anywhere. Must be a regional thing.

Ohhhh, "the classic" truck. Your first link just went to Ram trucks. I was looking at the new one, which also has solid incentives on it but not 0 for 72.

Yep that's the :dill: now... i am sure they cycle it on and off. But it is insane... 15k off or 0%.. like who in their right mind would choose the 72. You'd have to be a complete nut.

It makes ZERO sense. But I was in a meeting with our incentive team, and apparently when interest rates go up, people see way more value in 0% loans than they should.

This case is insane. You're not saving $15k in interest over 72 months, even at 4% or whatever interest. No way.

So far FCA delivers way more than other two. Ford is a basket case, and GM has its own issues as well.

$8600 dealer discount + $8000 in rebates:

Seems that you could get $7000 of that $8000 if you don't have another brand truck.

:notbad: since they have this on a lot of their RAMs.

Where do you guys get rental cars for reasonable prices? I need one for 48 hours to go from LEX to ELM and am being quoted about $200 after all taxes and fees from all of the big companies. I always hear people talk about getting cars for $30/day, not $100...

I get 30-ish dollars a day and unlimited miles with work's corp rate, but there's not really a way around the one-way fee

However, when we go to Vegas we always rent from Silver Car. They are a rental company that ended up selling the company to Audi. All they rent are..... Silver Audi's. We get an A4 for about $54 a day+ taxes. Beats the hell out of getting a Nissan Versa shitbox for about the same money.

I always get screwed. One ways tend to be expensive too. Most of the $30/day claims are internet :bs: like "I get 31 mpg in a :poorvette: or "I got a new :turboyaris: for $21k OTD. :disgust:

For non one way stuff, I definitely prefer Turo for better cars and decent individuals rather than :disgust: companies.
