Chrysler Coupons: The Incentives Just Keep Coming

AUBURN HILLS -- In a bid to end a difficult year on a strong note, the Chrysler Group has launched a massive direct mail campaign targeting more than 3 million Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler owners and consumers who drive competing brands.

The Auburn Hills-based division of DaimlerChrysler AG is mailing coupons worth $1,000 to consumers that can be used in combination with existing incentives on many 2006 and 2007 model year vehicles.

"That's some very aggressive stuff," said Jim Sanfilippo, a senior analyst with AMCI, a West Bloomfield-based automotive marketing firm.

The direct mail offers, which are good through Jan. 2, come atop already heavy discounts on Chrysler vehicles.

In November, Chrysler plied customers with $4,224 per vehicle in average incentives, nearly double the industry average, according to Edmunds.com, a research Web site for car buyers.

They really need to do something about their inventories...

$1000 rebates on 30K$ trucks is peanuts. Won't make anyone who's still upside down on a loan make a move.

True...peanuts...but broke guys like me look at a thousand dollar rebate and go "Well, now..." If I had the money to buy a brand new vehicle, this would definitely sway me a little closer to Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.

Give me the $4,224 average per vehicle plus the $1000 coupon in the mail and I'll jump!! Not that high though, I'm white.

Hah, I gone one in the mail today.

I'd love to use it and buy myself a Charger, but I'm broke.

I got mine in the mail over the weekend and the incentives are on nothing I would buy. I'm not middle age, with kids in need of a minivan. Sorry Chrysler!
