Explaining Dealer Incentives

By Cars.com Staff
Customer incentives are easy to comprehend: they involve cash-back rebates, low-interest financing offers or other perks that are offered directly to buyers. Dealer incentives don't work in the same way, but they can still lower a car's negotiated purchase price and benefit the customer.

What Are Dealer Incentives?
Dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory. Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock. For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate.

How Dealer Incentives Can Help You
To be clear, dealers are under no obligation to pass these rebates along to customers. Customer incentives are rightfully yours, but you'll need to negotiate in order to benefit from dealer incentives.

The good news is that incentives motivate dealers to sell. If a dealer is nearing a sales target, he may be more inclined to give you a good price in order to reach his goal. And if you're aware of the dealer incentive that's being offered, you may be able to use that knowledge to negotiate an even lower purchase price.

Remember, dealers pay to keep vehicle inventory in stock. So even if an incentive isn't attached to a particular model, dealers are more likely to be flexible on pricing for a vehicle that's been on their lot for two months or more. The longer a car collects dust, the more affordable it becomes to a savvy negotiator.

What Else You Should Know About Dealer Incentives
Dealer incentives are subject to local and regional variables. The national incentives listed on Cars.com represent a range of these offers. But it's difficult for car shoppers to know the exact incentives being offered to local dealers.

Additionally, dealer incentives aren't relegated merely to slow-selling models. Manufacturers may provide new dealerships with rebate offers in order to establish customers, or they may offer incentives to established dealerships in exchange for taking on added inventory. Hopefully, these and similar scenarios will benefit customers.

Finally, dealer incentives should not be confused with dealer holdback. Holdback is a portion of a car's sales price (typically 2 percent to 3 percent of either the invoice price or MSRP) that an automaker returns to a dealer, usually on a quarterly basis. It's a way of boosting the dealer's cash flow and helps the dealer keep his lights on. Most dealers see holdback as something that they're entitled to.

Baligtad naman explanation ni cars.com..factory to dealer incentive tawag nya..

Does not apply to the Philippines automobile market.

Dealers incentive here in Manila is the dealers way of gouging consumers for extra profit due to a vehicle's popularity and artificial scarcity.

I was hoping that the I would be getting the Everest once it is released here locally, but it seems it would be very difficult to get this one even after a year or two after its released, just like what the others are pointing out that happened and is still happening with the Ranger particularly the WILDTRAK, because of the very high DI. Before, the SA would also ask for a high DI on the XLT model of the Ranger. Thankfully I was able to get my Ranger without having to pay for any DI during the first few months of its released here in the Philippines.

A 10% DI for this beast would probably range between 140K-180K additional on its sticker price. Only those people wherein money is not an issue would get a first hand of this new Everest. How I envy them...hehehe...

No doubt, this will be a head turner.

Head turner as in while saying "there goes another sucker!"

Kung ma release ito next year will just place an order and pay reservation fee. Pag nanghingi ng DI para "mapriority" at "ma-release agad" yung unit sabihin ko na lang na "aantayin namin yung unit". Gayahin ko lang yung diskarte ng office mate ko sa Ford Greenhills sa pagkuha niya nung Ranger Wildtrak 2.2 MT niya. Inantay niya ayun no DI hehehe Ok lang sa akin hindi mauna basta may makuha na unit

Ganda talaga nito! Makapag-focus muna then trade in after two yrs with this!

Launch timeframe
It's still early, but from the information that we gathered, the Everest will be launched within the 10 month period between August 2014 and May 2015. As to when exactly is still unclear, though it was indicated to us that Q1 or Q2 2015 are most likely for the ASEAN region.
As such, the next-generation Ford Everest will debut as a 2015 model.

Sana nga August 2014 irelease ang production model (with engine, drivetrain, suspension and interior specs) at Q1 ang Asean release o more particularly release sa Pilipinas (gaya ng EcoSport na April). My wife super like this vehicle as a replacement for our aging compact car. Fingers crossed we hope we have a Ford Christmas next year..... :mrsclaus::choir::smsmiley::santa:

Patest drive mo muna sa misis mo bago ka bumili. Mas mahaba wheel base sa ranger, e di mas malaki din turning radius. At baka same ang bigat ng steering makuba misis mo kung daily drive yan. Remember it is based on the ranger, rear suspension lang ang iba. Sanay pa naman sa compact car na madali i-drive.

maganda does not necessarily mean mahusay.

[fighter888]

i agree! i am planning to own one!

[daplak]

Wait muna kami 3-5 years. ayoko maging guinea pig ng bagong everest. wait and see mood muna. baka marketing strategy ng manufacturer nagtatake advantage sa pagkasabik ng buyer

Mukhang wala namang malalang problema sa mga SUV tulad ng Everest models so I think the new models would shine like a star! My fiance's dad owns a 2012 Everest and never had any problem except for replacing the rear door that got hit by mitsu montero sport. hehehe
