Dodge Adds New Incentives for December

December 3, 2009

Dodge has announced new incentives for the month of December 2009 (expires on 01/04/2010).

Generally, the new incentives make for some very good deals on many models, especially on leftover 2009 models. Don’t expect any incentives, however, on the hot selling Challenger.

Mostly, the Dodge deals come in the form of direct customer rebates and 0% APR and low-interest loans, as well as some hefty factory-to-dealer cash on many leftover 2009 models. As you know, factory-to-dealer cash can be used by dealers any way they want but it usually ends up as a price discount to customers. In some cases, Dodge has allowed customers to accept rebates and low interest loans, which is unusual and very welcome.

In general, the deals on 2010 models are better than on 2009 models. Furthermore, with the high customer rebates, it is usually better to take the rebate instead of a low-interest loan — except in those cases where Dodge is offering both rebates and low-interest loans that can be combined.

Here are some examples of current Dodge deals for December:
