4xE Order Status??

[hisdigness]

I just called the Affiliate Rewards number to confirm, and they said the Wrangler 4XE is eligible. Previously it wasn’t, but it is now.

Does the dealer have to accept the 1% below invoice deal with it if they already do with other vehicles?

From my understanding is if the Vehicle is listed for the program they have to accept it period. They cannot choose which vehicle that it can apply to or not.

Dealer said no for the 4xe but I didn't argue. It is something I will bring up with them when the car arrives. I know not every dealer has to accept the program but if they accept if for one model, I assume they have to for any qualifying car.

I am in the same situation. When I ordered, dealer said it wasn't eligible, but they would do it for the regular wrangler, so I am hoping they will do the same upon delivery.

They do not have to accept on every eligible car. Participation is fully up to the dealer and they can pick and choose, at their own discretion, which deals to apply it to or not.

My dealer mentioned that it wasn't listed, but believed it was subject to change. because it will apply, the discount is going to be taken into account when we finish the paperwork. I would bring it up, odds are they wont have an issue applying it.

Understood. I got a great deal but will bring it up one last time while I am there just to see.

Yeah, I would definitely raise it, since the 4xe's eligibility changed since many of us ordered.

For what it's worth, my dealer gave me two quotes back in late Dec (when the 4xe wasn't eligible): one price if Affiliate pricing did become eligible and another for if it didn't. Helped us avoid any "too bad, we already agreed to a price" friction. They seemed privy to the fact that the 4xe "probably would be" eligible by the time it was delivered.

My understanding is that the affiliate pricing (including Tread Lightly) basically has two parts:
1) Max customer price of 1% below invoice
2) Incentive of 2% of invoice goes to the dealer

So, if you've already negotiated a price of 1% below invoice (or better), the dealer has some latitude in terms of any additional discount. It would benefit them to make it work (to get the 2% kickback), but I have heard that some places will only do a half % additional discount (when you are already cheaper than 1% below invoice).

Anyone leasing the 4xe? I wonder if the 7500 tax credit will go towards cap cost reduction since in a lease the lessor gets the credit.

Check out the link on the jeep.com page on Hybrid incentives. Select your state from the drop down. Here in FL, lease or not, you get the tax credit.

Another note for California folks: I would have your dealer look into the $1500 Clean Fuel Reward. The Jeep 4xe isn't explicitly listed there yet, but there's no reason it shouldn't be per the program terms.

This is a point-of-sale discount that participating dealers should be giving on eligible vehicles, separate from any other discounts. This one isn't something you claim as a rebate/tax credit later, so it's important to get this squared away and factored into your price before you sign that paperwork. I'm guessing the dealers have a more up-to-date way to confirm eligibility than via the program website.

Same with mine... i feel pretty confident most dealers wont have an issue making the change. not worth torpedoing client satisfaction or missing out on the sale for numbers that are fairly negligible on the dealer side. especially when you know the people bringing this stuff up are active in a like minded community.

If the dealer is looking at the eligibility list from January, it is incorrect. A new one was released on 2/4 that shows the 4xe. I had FCA Affiliates program email me the document to give to my dealer because the one on their website was from January. Not sure if it's been updated yet.
