Jeep Dealer Rescinds FCA Affiliate Pricing

[BeepBeepIAmAJeep]

About a month ago, Jeep Concierge emailed me asking if I still wanted my Gladiator shipped to dealership X. So I called my salesman and asked if they were still going to honor FCA affiliate pricing, with the response of "Yes." I didn't see any reason to change my shipment. So today, while I was running errands, I got an Email from Jeep saying my Gladiator is getting shipped today. I swung by the dealership to talk to my salesman about costs and delivery times and when I brought up the FCA affiliate pricing he responded, "Oh, FCA isn't allowing that on the gladiators." I called him out on it saying that I have seen several advertisements from dealerships stating the opposite and threw out spirit lake as an example. He said, well we can try, but we were informed that FCA wasn't allowing it.

I could have sworn there were even reports that JeepCares on here even stated that FCA affiliate pricing was accepted on orders up until like May 14th? Anyone know if it is possible to get my Gladiator intercepted and shipped to a different location? I am completely willing to drive several states if it means saving 5-6 grand.

To top it all off, as I was leaving, I asked him if they had sold any yet (because they had a red sport on lot) and he said yup, 3 of them at 3-5k above sticker -.-

That's why I am wondering also if folks that purchased the JT from dealers with 5-7% below invoice are able to honor them once arrive....
Any feedback?
I know that my dealer in Los Angeles stated that they're able to honor $2.5K below MSRP but when I tried to finalized the paperwork this past week, they're played dumb..... Threaten to cancel (which FCA rescind this to dealers) but able to negotiate to $2K..... After 2 hrs of fiery negotiation.... I know they hate me now..

Some of the dealers on here said, "IF affiliate pricing is honored, then price will be X" Others said they would honor the affiliate pricing then found out FCA didn't, so they drew a line in the sand and said we'll honor it for anybody that ordered up until X date. Presumably, those dealers either made less, or possibly lost money on honoring those deals, but I assume they did that because they are good dealerships that want long relationships with us buyers, AND/OR this forum.

That being said, i got an email 2 days ago from FCA affiliate cust service, they're not honoring the pricing. So i doubt most dealers will honor it.

SOME SAY THEY DO, but at the end of the day its all about the % under invoice that you want to focus on. I could tell you I personally will sell you a vehicle with affiliate pricing honored at 5K over Invoice. Big deal if i'm honoring the "AFFILIATE PRICING", if the bottom line still sucks for you, right?

If my gladiator showed up in spirit lake today, I would be paying 3% below invoice, not 5%, which is what it would be if the affiliate pricing starts applying to JT's. Currently affiliate pricing is not being honored by any dealers on this forum. Not Spencer in spirit lake, Travis in NC (unless you ordered before a certain date), nor Kent (who confirmed to me that his pricing is based upon in house financing regardless of affiliate approval)

IMO if your dealer said they would honor it when you ordered, they should keep their word, but without anything in writing...

Here is a thread (sticky) with more info

The affiliate pricing I have from being a member of tread lightly states invoice -1% if I remember correctly. I would have to go into my filling cabinet and find the stuff but I am fairly certain that is what it is so I am not sure where the -5% came from other than just a few people advertising that there are dealerships willing to go that low.

I was able to negotiate EP without a FCA number, which I have. But the dealer kinda screwed my order up so I think that's why I was able to do that.

Yup, I just dug out my FCA control number and it says, "up to 1% below factory invoice when you purchase or lease a new U.S. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® , Ram or FIAT ® vehicle." It says a new vehicle, not select vehicles. So while it says "up to 1%", the terms still apply to a new vehicle and not select so FCA affiliate pricing applies under this terminology.

And the fine print further proves it. " 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT® Demon, 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, all Chrysler 200 LX models, all Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid models, all Dodge Dart SE models, all Dodge Viper models, all FIAT 500e models and all Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio models are currently not eligible for this program." I even accessed the control number website today and the fine print is still the same.

Is your paperwork recent, or is it from before the gladiator was added to the list of excluded models?

I am not lying to you. See the link I posted before.

The link you posted was how to access the website to get a control number. I had already seen it a long time ago when it was posted so I didnt read through it again.

And yes it is current. Like I said, I accessed the control website again just a few minutes ago and the fine print is still the same.

I have not seen that yet. That's bull that I bought into my gladiator on the 3rd of april and they update that on april 10th to exclude it. Do you have the previous year? Since I was looking at the fine print as my only option... But I am going to guess that wasn't there last year because I would have seen that in gladiator news.

I don't think 2020 MY jeeps were ever listed. Until they added the gladiator as excluded. The previous version that I saw just said 2019 MY jeeps were included.

So the retroactively changed the access to FCA affiliate pricing to those of us who prepaid for the LE. That is beyond F%^&ed up,
