Chrysler offers discounts to move 08, 09 vehicles

1/23/2009

DETROIT Chrysler LLC said yesterday it is rolling out new incentives designed to tempt consumers into its dealerships and drive a much-needed sales boost.

The incentive program will offer employee pricing discounts to the general public and additional rebates.

The deals are in addition to a no-interest financing offer the Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker announced last week, after Chrysler s financial arm received a $1.5 billion infusion from the government s bank bailout program.

Customers can get cash discounts of up to $3,500 for 2009 model year vehicles and up to $6,000 on 2008 model vehicles.
