They are running tv adds in my area showing rebates of over $10,000 and yes it is ONLY on old stock as I said. I have no idea what the rebates are for new or customer ordered vehicles.
The point is GM and Ford must have stock older than 90 days, thus they are over producing and need to add large discounts to their vehicles. Those rebates tied to oldest inventory date are not just on their pickups btw. Over producing is not a good bissneses model and will catch up to you.
I wasn't the guy that brought up giving large rebates, I was just pointing out that it is not just* FCA doing this it is GM and Ford. BTW here is a little trivia for you, GM was the first manufacturer to offer rebates encase you foregot.

Don't know why you would draw the conclusion that only GM and Ford have old inventory based on sound business practices to get rid of said old inventory. I could make the statement chrysler may go out of business again because they are failing to try and sell their old inventory (that I am confident they have some). Reading too much in either of those statements is not accurate. The whole conversation and drawing conclusions based on the health of any automotive OEM by their rebates is a little silly. This is an industry that was built on using rebates to get people in the door. The true measurement is each OEM's profit margins.
