Hoping to come back from a 30 percent decline in U.

S. sales last year, Chrysler announced today that it is offering employee pricing on all 2008 and 2009 models. In addition to the employee price, customers will be eligible for cash discounts of up to $3,500 for 2009 models and up to $6,000 on 2008 models. Zero percent financing is available for up to 48 months.

The program, which kicks off on Monday Jan. 26, will include a national advertising campaign.

Oh, and for those of you wondering if the Dodge Challenger is included in the new program. Chrysler said that...

I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

As I am not in the car business, I wonder how good "employee pricing" really is. Can anyone give me some examples? (BTW...My wife is in the market for a new car.)

There are still currently at least 3 2008 Challenger SRT8s within 90 miles of my location in Iowa. Asking price is ~$43k for all of 'em. WOW, HOT SELLER! There are a few 2009s around too. It is like the dealers are there to collect the cars, rather than sell 'em.

I wouldn't buy a Chrysler product if the company paid me to.

If they paid YOU, then you wouldn't be BUYING it anyway. Don't kid yourself...you'd be stupid to turn down a free car.

Agree with BSBB, don't kid yourself - free car is free car. )

Recently on my trip, I rented Chrysler 300 - what a piece of $hit... Such a disappointment. And if I'm not mistaken that is Chrysler's fancy car?

Thus, just as cococo, I would not buy a Chrysler product.

You have to admit though, the Charger is quite a piece of muscle. I'd put it up against an M3 in a tug-o-war anyday.

BSBB- Employee pricing is USUALLY right at invoice, or right around it. When I worked for FORD, it was I think 1.5% under invoice for an employee. That was years ago. Plus you get a chance to use the Special rates or rebates. PS, take the money over the rates...

Is that their only Strategy for making Consumers buy their crap??? It seems that every automaker is jumping on the "Employee discount pricing".
