It's not surprising, then, to see that <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/06/rebates-rise-as.html">Chrysler</a>, <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/06/dodges-new-gas.html">Dodge</a> and <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/06/ford-not-publis.html">Ford</a> have increased incentives in an effort to get those cars off its dealer's lots. For instance, prospective buyers for the Hemi-powered Chrysler 300C can now choose either $4,000 cash back or $2,000 plus Chrysler's $2.99 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/05/chrysler-to-guarantee-gas-at-2-99-a-gallon-for-three-years/">gas promotion</a>, known as Let's Refuel America. Choosing Chrysler's full-size SUV, the Aspen, will net you $4,500 cash back or $1,000 in cash, plus the Let's Refuel deal. Dodge too is heavy into the incentives game, especially on fuel-gulping SUV's and trucks. The largest savings come with the 2008 Ram truck, which gets you $5,000 in cash or $3,000 plus the cheap gas card.<br /><br />Realizing the sorry state that sales of the F-Series are in, Ford has chosen to offer <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/04/ford-battling-bad-truck-sales-with-employee-pricing-on-f-series/">employee pricing</a> for its full-sizers, although they aren't telling you what how much you'll save without a trip to the dealer. <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/06/ford-not-publis.html">Cars.com</a> has been able to extract a few figures from Ford's web site and have figured out that nearly three-grand will be shed from the sticker of a mid-grade XLT model. After looking these rebates over, it seems clear that the few consumers still in the market for a large, V8 powered vehicle will be looking to get a great deal for the foreseeable future.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2008/06/dodges-new-gas.html">Kicking Tires</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/05/incentive-roundup-chrysler-adds-more-cash-to-free-gas-ford-mum/">Incentive Roundup: Chrysler adds more cash to free gas, Ford mum on Employee Pricing</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:57:00 EST.

<p>It would appear that the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/first-drive-2008-ford-mustang-bullitt-day-2/">Mustang Bullitt</a> does not have the same magic as the Shelby GT500. While it's taken over a year for dealerships to lower prices on the GT500 to <em>near</em> MSRP, customers can get their hands on the Bullitt for well under the starting price of $31,075. Ford's April incentives for the Mustang, including the Bullitt, include a rebate of up to $1,500 and an additional $1,000 off in some regions if you purchase the vehicle with Ford Credit. With the potential of $2,500 in rebates, the $3,310 cost of the Bullitt package sounds like a pretty good deal is reduced to just $810. Check out the source below for the rest of Ford's incentive lineup, including money back on the not-yet-available <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/05/new-york-auto-show-ford-chip-foose-f-150-in-the-flesh/">F-150 Chip Foose Edition</a>.<br /></p>
