That depends on what you’re dealer does. Chriswell in Maryland gave you 1% below invoice with Tread Lightly +7% on top of that to get you to 8% total.
So (and correct me if I’m wrong) if I negotiated 5% below invoice and I lost my tread lightly, the dealer would still be able to give me 4% below invoice?
Tread Lightly should be resolved early September (what I read on this forum). It is worth 1% off invoice. If you cannot use Tread Lightly (or wait for it to get resolved), then you would have at a minimum a 4% discount off of invoice.
With affiliate pricing FCA gives the dealerships 2% back so to speak. The 1% below invoice for the customer and 1% to the dealership as an incentive. The dealership will still have holdback and such below this. Having Affiliate Pricing allows you to start the negotiations at a lower number. There is no guarantee your dealership will say ok 4% is fine. Depends on the dealership. Some won't do it without AP pricing others will.
My dealer told me it should be straightened out by today. I'll believe it when it happens,but I'm staying optimistic.
Was just told Tread Lightly is now a go as of today. Told them I will hold them to it. We'll see.
Nope. My wife's Pilot has the Auto braking/advanced cruise, and the former is annoying and the latter we never use. We're driving 5+ hours as a write this and no thought of using cruise at all. I'm all for the nanny systems if they keep you from hitting me, but I've been driving for 30+ years without any at fault incidents, mainly because I, you know, pay attention. I did get the safety package, because I do use blind spot monitoring.
