if you read the Tri City thread, he states why they changed it to 4% under with/without affiliate code cuz FCA doesn't honor it, if purchased after 5/9 I think. 5% under invoice if you finance through them.
Honorable....hopefully FCA will realize they need to let use the programs
Is there a link to this thread? I can't seem to find it.
You are not missing anything, others are missing the math readjustment. With the FCA affiliate 1% off the table, the offer should have gone down to a still base 5% with an additional 1% for through dealer financing (6% total). There is a missing 1% lost in the ether unexplained other than that is just the way they want to run the deal going forward.
nobody knows how they get paid, its all speculation, lucky for those that already ordered, gotta make the best of the situation or wait it out for those of us that didn't pull the trigger early.
It’s difficult to explain on here why it’s not 6% now but basically he’s digging into his holdback which is 3% off MSRP but equals about 4% below invoice when taken out the equation. He’s making his money off the $349 doc fee and spiffs from referring people via financing and maybe some other small deal we don’t quite know Jeep does on these. Even at 5% below invoice it’s still a great deal if honored.
Again, it’s not 1 % difference, it’s 2%, 7% to 5%. Thus on a 60k car is approx. $1200. And to me that is not making or breaking my decision to get the truck but it will definitely make me reconsider who I am buying from because there are other dealers offering similar if not the same deal.
I agree it's not significant amount on a 60k vehicle. But for some people going out of state $600 easily pays for the plane ticket to travel down and gas/food traveling back.

I understand, and I agree. I'm taking exception with the desire of others to breakdown and fully understand why it had to change by 1% or 2%. To the extent of inferring, or suggesting that there is some shady business going on. I'm not too sure it's fair to vilify one of the first dealerships to attempt to assist this community. They took a gamble with us, were wrong, notified the community, but are still honoring what was sold at that initial rate, prior to the change. Yea, they're a business, trying to make money, just like any other. But this counts as professionalism in my book.
