Dec 14, 2005 -- New car incentives continue through January

Auto incentives are continuing through the month of January. So if you’re in the market for a new vehicle, listen up! First of all is GM’s “Red Tag” sale, where there is a maximum price on the vehicles. It’s different from the “employee pricing” sale from earlier in the year because you can try to negotiate a lower price. Before you go to the dealership for the Red Tag sale, you want to go first to carsdirect.com and see what price you may get. Ford has also started a new incentive program known as the “Keep It Simple” plan. There is a maximum price on vehicles, and cash incentives are added in. But the price is negotiable after that. Clark looked into it and invoice prices are substantially lower than the manufacturer suggested price, some as much as $12,000 below. Chrysler is not as generous with the discounting, but is giving two years of free gasoline, two years of free scheduled maintenance and an increased warranty of 5 years and 60,000 miles. So, Chrysler is they’re trying to appease people who have fears about American-made vehicles. American cars are made much better than they were three or four years ago, but people still want peace of mind. The free gas is capped at roughly $2,400. But these incentives are great if you willing to work at it a bit.
