How do the rebates generally work. If you order a car say tomorrow, it won't be built and delivered for several weeks/months (depending on model). At the time it's delivered, what happens if the rebates are no longer active, or perhaps there's even better rebates 🤔.
My salesman told me if it is a national rebate it can be locked in. If a better rebate comes along you can use it. If nothing better comes along you use original rebate.
I hope this helps.
This is correct! I am with Dan Cummins CDJR and we are able to lock in the rebates as they stand and if the rebates are better when the vehicle is delivered then we can flip to those better rebates
So my local dealer is telling me that if I were to order tomorrow, they're not able to lock in that 6k rebate, and I'm left with whatever rebates are available when the vehicle is delivered. Even though it's a national rebate 😅🤦♂️.
I placed my order yesterday for a 21 REWB. Prior to yesterday my dealer was saying they wouldn't be able to lock in/guarantee the rebate. But I called the incentives FCA incentives office and talked to them. The lady looked into it and then confirmed yes dealers can lock in the rebate and it's called "sold order protection". I told me dealer the same thing and then they said "OK" and wrote it down on the order sheet I and the GM signed when I gave them my deposit.
That is interesting. I called Craig Benner at Koons earlier this week and he said he could not lock in the 6k. You get what is available at delivery. I have a offer from another dealer that applied the 6k. I know he is on the board so maybe he can chime in.
I was dealing with Koons too, I switched and placed an order with Jake at Dan Cummins and also got the rebate locked, plus a less expensive processing fee.

Is who you want to talk to he is active on the forums, gives the same deal as Koons PLUS will lock incentive.
I'm sure the depends on the dealership.
Jake from Dan Cummins is in the board and sounds like a great gent to work with. Forum members have bought from him and I believe guaranteed the rebate.

A little fine print in case it hasn't been stated anywhere....
I don't know when they changed it, but to get the power Dollars on 2020s or the $6000 on 2021s you have to finance the vehicle with Chrysler Capital.
.....which sucks, because regardless how good your credit is you'll have to take the interest rate they give you or forfeit the cash. (. unless there is hope they aren't enforcing this)
Can you link to where the fine print states this. I cannot find anything on their website about it. Been looking for a little while now. My dealer didn't really say anything about the restrictions on the rebate. In fact they know I'd intended to finance with my own bank. All I was aware of was that you couldn't get both the 0% financing and the rebate. Didn't know you still had to finance with Chrysler.
🤦♂️. Hadn't even noticed that aspect. Was just glancing at it and of course realized they wouldn't give 0% and the 6k rebate. So I'll have to deal with using Chrysler financing for the 20-30k I opt to finance. With that being said, how bad are the rates at Chrysler? I was intending to go with my bank at a sub 2% rate.
