Big rebates on 2014s

With the 2015s coming, and in some cases already here, Chrysler is slapping major rebates onto some 2014s.

The 2014 Chrysler 300, for example, comes with $3,250-$5,000 cash back, as dealers hasten to clear their lots and make room for the 2015s, due in three months. Town & Country minivans are running $1,000-$3,500 rebates, and Caravans at $500-$2,000, but this may simply be a way to keep Sienna and Odyssey from regaining the sales lead. 2015 minivans will also have rebates, albeit smaller ones (up to $1,500).

The outgoing Avenger retains its $2,500-$4,000 rebate, while Charger’s ranges from $750 to $3,500 and Challenger’s ranges from $1,000 to $2,500. Charger and Challenger both have 2015 models arriving soon — neither of which has rebates.

Durango and Grand Cherokee, not long ago in such demand that the factory could not produce enough, both have rebates on the 2014s, going up to $2,000 and $1,000 respectively. The ’15s have no rebates so far, but Grand Cherokee has discounted financing.

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass are carrying $500-$2,500 ($500-$2,000 on Compass) on the hood; the 2015s have $500 cash back. There are few differences between the model years. Likewise, 2014 Cherokee has up to $1,500 cash back while 2015, whose main gain is a stop-start system on the V6, has up to $500.

Among the Rams, rebates are relatively low this month (ending September 30), with Ram 1500 going from $750 to $1,500; Ram 2500 and 3500 ranging from $1,000 to $3,000; and Cargo Van at $2,500. The 2015s already have rebates, $1,000-$1,500 for 2500 and 3500, and $1,500 on Cargo Van.
