DC is doing this. I was at the dealership tonight looking at trucks
(for some reason unknown to me) and they're offering the "employee
discount" on all vehicles.
I read an article recently that said Ford was doing the same in Canada,
so it seems a bit silly that they wouldn't do that in the U.S... Maybe
it was GM and DC that were running that in Canada, but I'm pretty sure
Ford was mentioned as well...
Discount is pretty hefty, but I'm not sure it's a whole lot better than
the usual gimmick sales promotions they do when they want to move larger
volumes. I do have to say, though, that the discount offered on an '05
Ram QC Cummins "Big Horn" was in the neighborhood of $6K, which is
definitely not bad, in addition to the extra $1500 rebate.
