Some Basic Information On Car Discounts For Teachers

By Mark Reynolds


Teachers far and wide are probably the unsung heroes of any age or even country. In fact may teachers will say that it is quite a thankless job at some point in time and the salary can be wanting in most cases. Due to the fairly low average incomes of most teachers, most especially new ones, car discounts for teachers are most welcome. Should you be a teacher and reading this you may want to know more about how to avail of a car discount for your needs.

To be able to avail of this discount you have to be a teacher of course. And not only a teacher but a gainfully employed one at that. Sometimes there will be a requirement as to length of tenure and level of your position before you can avail of one. Depending on the kind of loan you want to avail of, there is sometimes no distinction if you are working for a public or private school.

The big automobile manufacturers, namely Chrysler, General Motors, Dodge and Ford do have a teacher discount program for their units. However, the main requirement will be that you have to be working for an affiliated school or one that is certified by them. General Motors however does not have this very strict requirement when it comes to place of work, and they can even extend the said discount on a case to case basis to your relatives and family members.

Starting to avail of this discount is done fairly simply. All you need to do is to click on the manufacturer website, or the website of an accredited dealer and fill in the application form. It is very much suggested that you also have a handy webcam or on line camera ready just in case you need to send in digitized copies of documents or even a quick photo of yourself as needed.

Key benefits of getting discounts is that one can enjoy anywhere from 0.4% to 1.0% off the retail price off the car and with pretty flexible and easy payment terms. However, such discounts are usually given the whole year, and they do not usually stack as against seasonal discounts when applicable.

It is also important to note that not all models of automobiles will be covered by these discounts. Although there will be a wide rang and choice to choose from in terms of mid range sedans and such, other models, even popular entry models will not be covered, It is a general rule that most popular models are usually excluded from such a discount.

If you are currently a member of union, there is a possibility that you can enjoy higher discounts than the one given the industry in general. This is because unions will broker deals with big name makers to give the best deals for their members. This can include free insurance and freebies to sweeten the deal.

In sum these are the general things to know about a discount program for teachers. Before going headlong into availing of one do study other options that may affect your spending, such as buyback schemes if you get sick of the car, or even upgrade schemes should you want to trade it in for a later model in the future.
