On July 6th when the EP pricing scheme kicked in, two additional things happened. The rebate amounts across the board were lowered, AND the "Tracking Cash" (the money for cars at 200 days $1000, and 300 days $2000) was deleted. How do I know? I bought my 04' limited coupe under a special dealer chain only EP pricing sale a week and a half before the DCX plan took hold. I bought it for $26K (+ tax/title of course), almost $9K off MSRP which included the $2000 in tracking cash. I was contemplating buying an 05' yellow roadster at the same time in addition to the coupe, but decided to wait until fall when I thought the rebates would go up some as there are a lot on the lots right now. By waiting, I lost $500 in a lower rebate, and the $2000 in tracking cash. So the 05' limited roadster that would have cost me $32,500 on July 5th, will now cost me $35,000 and change. I think the tracking cash will slide back in later this summer/early fall, then I will buy the roadster, unless something else catches my eye before then from the Dodge Hemi lineup. Currently the extra mystery money is not there, and the dealers are hurting some. A new NEON SXT costs my local dealer about $50 more than what it is going for on the EP pricing. They do get some sales quota cash if they hit tiers, but it still takes a bite out of the profit margin.
