Starting Tuesday, January 7, 2009, Chrysler officially expanded its credit union financing program to all 50 states in the U.S. The new financing program, called “Invest in America” gives customers who finance a new Chrysler through their credit union using the Chrysler program $500 to $1000 off of most Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles. In addition to manufacturer-backed credit union financing, qualifying credit union members will get additional Chrysler rebates on top of other incentives. Chrysler sales of new vehicles fell 53% in December of 2008 compared to December of 2007.
With the extension of the credit union financing program, Chrysler announced Tuesday that it will offer discounts of up to $3,000 on select 2009 models and $6,000 on select 2008 models, on top of the other incentives. While many industry analysts question whether Chrysler can remain solvent even with a recent $4 billion loan from the federal government, for customers willing to take the risk, Chrysler is offering fire sale prices.
