Chrysler Offers Gasoline Credit
Chrysler responds to Ford and GM’s latest incentives to sell more cars.
DETROIT (Reuters) - DaimlerChrysler’s Chrysler division said Thursday it was raising its consumer incentives in a bid to offset slowing U.S. vehicle sales.
The move follows sweeter incentive offers announced earlier this week by General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. as Detroit’s price war heats up again as part of a traditional year-end sales push.
Chrysler spokesman Kevin McCormick said that starting next Monday the automaker would offer U.S. car buyers a debit card with $2,367 in credit to use toward the purchase of gasoline.
He said Chrysler would also begin offering car buyers free scheduled maintenance and an extended five-year, or 60,000-mile warranty. The new incentives will remain on offer through Jan. 3, McCormick said.
