I ordered my jeep @ MSRP no discounts included. Asked my dealer about Tread lightly and was told they accept all FCA affiliate programs at the dealership so advised me to join. The FCA affiliates website updated the eligible car list to now include 23 models. My MSRP for my fully loaded reign rubicon is $2600 more now. Base price, paint color, and destination charge all jumped up my add ons did not. I am assuming the TL discount is for 1% below invoice which I think is below dealer invoice not MSRP. From order to delivery will be about 6 months. I will find out in about 3 weeks if my delivery date stays on time. Will let the forum know how it goes. ?? if they let me use both or pick one.The $1000 Bonus Cash is a Manufacturer’s incentive. Every dealer will accept it (assuming your purchase falls within the parameters of the fine print) - the dealer will deduct the $1000 from your purchase price and JEEP will reimburse the dealer.
The Tread Lightly is a voluntary program for dealers to participate; to sell you the vehicle at an automatically pre-negotiated price level (my dealer does not participate.)
The Factory Bonus Cash should not affect the TL price level.
My dealer said JEEP offers a 14 day price protection for a signed Priced Order Copy. (My order was for MSRP price level - only a few hundred bucks mark up on a Base Sport 2D). It appears to be a factory backed price protection.
Based on a few posts here, some dealers are re-negotiating the selling price once the Wrangler is ready for delivery. It appears as those purchases started out at discounted price levels, and the dealers take opportunity to bump their profits a bit. While others have reported that their signed POC prices were honored at delivery (I’m assuming those deals were done at MSRP levels).
I do not know if JEEP will only offer POC price protection on MSRP sales (nor do I know how JEEP would know the difference; at which price level the Wrangler was sold.)
Others with better insight and experience with TL may correct me here.
