Makes you go to see a dealer to get details, that sucks...

Althought I dislike the big-3 auto makers, I am tempted by the Ford Escape Hybrid. If anyone knows the details of this offer, can you let me know what kind of discount I can expect on it ?

Perhaps you should see if Toyota or one of the other Japanese car makers will also make the same offer.

[Jag]

The Escape Hybrid is not part of this promotion.

I highly doubt it, people are still buying toyota's and honda's at a steady rate without bargaining

[Iron Chef Ajax]

Bet GM will have this soon as well.

you think they would have it now since the other 2 major companies are doing it

This is really not a deal as anyone can negotiate a better deal if they do their
homework. My son works for Ford in Talbotville Ontario and he explained how
the program works for employees. I have done better with tough negotiations
and my information and numbers that I gathered about prices from around the
net. This is only a fair deal if you don't like to bargin and negotiate. Do your
homework and come armed with your information and you can surly get a
better deal than this employee discount. Zeide.

GM was the first one to offer... Ford and Chrysler followed suit

[dicemax]

GM was the first to offer for US customers only.
Ford and Chrysler offer are for both US and Canada customers.

No way in hell I'm buying an American car again (except maybe the vette)

[frogger]

Other than Toyota and Nissan, other companies are pretty much holding steady these days. VW is tanking big time, have been for years

[apvm]

American cars?! I'll pass, think I'll be better off with Korean make than American.

I don't know if this is true, but I was in at a Jeep dealer inquiring about pricing on a TJ when the salesman let slip that Chrysler rebates to the dealer the difference between the MSRP and the employee price. If this is the case, it should be possible to negotiate a good deal below MSRP and then take off the rebate for employee pricing and the rebate for factory incentives.

You are correct. To get the best possible deal, you should negotiate a price as if there wasn't the employee pricing discount, and after this final price, then you should deduct the employee pricing rebate. The dealers don't lose anything from this rebate. Head office is the one that gives the rebates, so either way, the dealers still make the same profit.
