Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

This is the second time this week I've heard that, I know its probably true but what is the math behind that tax incentive? If anything it would drive their income up, no? Can anyone explain that to me?

That being said it IS true--helped a buddy buy a used subaru this weekend and talked a small local dealer down $1k (on a $5k car) w/o much hassle.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

It doesn't help with taxes, it just makes their financials look better. Lower inventory and more income = win, win.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

There are two things here, business owners buy last min car for tax write off for 2014 and dealers meeting their quotes for bonus and budget incentives.

I'm actually more interested in the Pentastar V6 2014s.

Yahoo article on year end savings on new cars:

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

None of those address the things I mentioned actually. Yes I understand they want to sell as much as possible end of year, quotas, etc....and I understand a biz owner wanting to add some depreciation. I have directly heard and seen typed on this forum dealers wanting to lower their inventory 'for tax purposes'

If I'm missing something let me know :D

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

Businesses are taxed on inventory.

Inventory = assets

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

Not only that, but we pay interest on our inventory. We don't own any of our new cars.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

Didn't read your post.

Just trying to be helpful.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

LOL! Reading = hard


Now this makes sense! Simple.

I suppose you get to write off that interest too for some reason? :D



Brandon--did you drive a toureg tdi yet or what? :)

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

I did not. Haven't drove anything for a couple weeks, been focused on our theater room. I did just also read an article that 2015 will be the last year of the Durango. Fiat is supposidely tryng to reduce redundancy in the line ups, so they want to ditch it since its basically a stretched Grand Cherokee now. Still at the top of my list though!

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

I just don't care.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

Got a Durango today! 2013 Dodge Durango SXT, With some options like Tow Package, Touch Screen with 30GB hard drive, AWD, etc. It has the V6 which is still quite peppy.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

The official announcement from chrysler was that the durango was going to stay past 2017. They were thinking that they were going to cut it off when the grand wagoneer comes out, but decided not to because of the redesign etc.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

Looks really nice! Hopefully the quality has come up a lot from past models.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

from everything i have read the redesign in 2011 really did a lot to fix the image.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

Looks nice man! And yeah the Durango really isn't a Durango anymore, is just a stretched Grand Cherokee, which I think is why they are doing much better. Still looking for a 2014 myself, but again will likely be several months before I do it, especially after we just got done spending money on the theater room.

Re: Time to replace the Envoy
 

i love the 2014s, was close to leasing one but couldnt get the monthly close enough to $400 per month. The guage screen is crazy awesome. Will be interesting to see when they come out with the SRT8 version.
