Xplan chevrolet6/2/2023 ![]() I have one because my fiancée shows paint and quarter horses (and we co-own these horses). In my case I was able to get the affiliate rewards preferred price by having an active membership with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). ![]() There are a lot of ways to get access to this program. It allows you to purchase up to two vehicles a year at a preferred price of 1% below factory invoice plus all current bonuses and incentives. This is the program that I used to purchase my Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn in late 2019 and saved me a lot of money. With that in mind I did a little research and decided to put together a summary of each of the Big Three’s program (in its current form from what I could tell you might want to do additional research) as it would help us get a better handle on how much we as a normal consumer could possibly save on a new Ford, FCA/Stellantis, or GM product.įCA/Stellantis has the FCA Affiliate Rewards Program. It turns out most (if not all) of these programs were still available in some form from the Big Three domestic manufacturers (Note: Some of the programs have been modified a little bit since we last used them, but they are more or less the same). My fiancée and I of course thought that these programs would have been shut down because of the supply chain, inventory, and covid problems going on with manufacturers. Here’s the idea that might make for a helpful topic to TFL watchers/members: While we were still looking, our parents reminded us both that our families (in the past) have used some of these programs to purchase vehicles from the FCA, Ford & GM and in each case they saved us quite a bit of money. In fact, it has been pretty frustrating for us as we have had a tough time trying to find a vehicle from a dealership that was not outrageously priced over MSRP. I know after looking for a while that this issue has not seemed to resolve itself. Additionally, when I was searching for my new HD truck in 2019 the reviews that you had up regarding all of the heavy-duty trucks really helped me make an informed decision on buying my new HD (I picked up a Ram Longhorn Edition 2500 at the end of 2019).Īfter looking around to upgrade my fiancée’s SUV to a new truck/SUV (and from some of the videos you have put out like the biggest cojones video a couple of months ago) it looks to me like a lot of the dealers around the nation are still marking up any new inventory that may currently be on their lots to prices well over MSRP. I’ve kept up with all of the videos that get put out between all of TFL’s YouTube channels. (Image: Stellantis) Some contextįirst, I wanted to thank everyone at TFL for all of the media that the team puts out and information that you provide. ![]() Greg bought a Ram 2500 Longhorn back in 2019 (an example of which is shown above). With that said, here is Greg’s original message below: Other automakers also have discount pricing of their own, but this take focuses specifically on the Big Three: Ford, GM and Stellantis (FCA). Still, and especially in light of the crazy car market over the past couple years, it’s worth managing expectations and planning your purchase decision around the full price - then hopefully working in a positive direction from there, being able to apply these discounts. However, terms and conditions with these programs are always subject to change, including whether you qualify and how you’d go about taking advantage of the available plans. ![]() To the best of our knowledge, this information is correct as of February 2021. There is some nuance and technical work involved, but our friend and TFL Studios viewer Greg put together a ton of information in hope of helping people out - useful details we wanted to pass along.Ī quick caveat before delving into Greg’s work and covering the Big Three’s discount programs. (Image: Ford) Even in today’s crazy car market, there are a few tricks that may land you a solid deal. Even with the programs mentioned below, it’s best to keep expectations in check - amounts, terms and applicable vehicles are always subject to change.
