DaimlerChrysler Announces New Sales Incentives For Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Plymouth Vehicles
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - New incentives were announced today for Chrysler,
Jeep, Dodge and Plymouth vehicles, which include consumer cash back and APR
financing, and in some cases, both. The new incentives end October 2, 2000.
"This is a measured response to a rapidly changing marketplace," said
Theodor Cunningham, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing.
"It is very competitive out there, and we are moving forward quickly with an
aggressive plan."
Cunningham said that a number of factors, including unprecedented product
changeover and competitive actions, led to the company to revise its incentive
strategy.
This fall, the Chrysler Group will replace a full one-third of its product
line with all new vehicles, including the 2000 Chrysler Town & Country and
Voyager, the Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan.
"We set aggressive launch curves for our redesigned 2001 products
utilizing our new flexible manufacturing program," said Cunningham.
"The bottom line is that we were able to ramp up production on these new
minivans more quickly than anyone anticipated, and now it is time to clean out
our 2000 inventories.
"There has never been a better time to buy a minivan," said Cunningham.
"We have increased our consumer cash on every minivan by $1,000. Consumers
can now get up to $3,000 back on our class-leading minivans as well as some of
the most attractive APRs in the industry."
Following is a summary of the cash allowances available on 2000 and
certain 2001 vehicles. As an alternative, reduced interest rate financing is
available to qualified buyers on some models.
