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.

For one to be able to avail of such car discounts, one has to be definitely gainfully employed. The terms of employment requirement may vary from one kind of loan discount to another, sometimes depending on whether you are working in a private or public school. Sometimes additional requirements such as minimum number of years of tenure will be required also to make you eligible.

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.

The way to start to enjoy the discount starts off with a straight forward application that can be done online. Just log onto manufacturer or accredited dealer websites and fill in the requisite forms. It is advised that you have a webcam or scanner ready just in case you need to send in digital copies of needed documents, or even a recent photograph of yourself.

Once approved you will enjoy a discount of anywhere from 0.4% and upwards to about 1.0% or more off the listed price of the vehicles covered. This discount is a one time discount and does not stack with other discounts given during the year due to season or promotional gimmicks. Usually very flexible payment terms are given that can fit most budgets.

Not all units are covered though and some of the more hyped up and popular models will be excluded. Sometimes very popular entry models are also excluded despite their lower prices. What will be most probably included are mid range sedans and family type cars.

To get more out of discounts, you may be able to get a higher discount if you belong to a union, as unions do negotiate for better rates and better models. Thus a union membership might be able to net you that restricted model when you were a non member. Membership in a union can also net you more discounts on insurance, or maybe even get you free insurance altogether. In such cases membership will have its benefits and this can be an angle for you to look at.

Thus the article has shown some information you should know about this discount scheme. Also look into other factors such as buyback and trade up schemes that will sweeten the deal for you before you do avail of one.
