Some Basic Information On Car Discounts For Teachers

By Mark Reynolds


In any country and in any age the role of the teacher cannot be understated. They can create leaders and professionals with their skills and have always been touted as the noblest profession. However, most of the time their salaries can be found wanting, and discounts are always welcome. Car discounts for teachers are one way of ameliorating the cost of living for these noble professionals and you may be one of them curious to take advantage of these schemes.

The only way to really get a good discount for a car from a manufacturer is of course if you are gainfully employed. And being gainfully employed means that you are working at a school, whether it be a private or a public one. In some cases you have to have a certain number of years working before you can actually avail of one.

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.

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 will be important to take note of the fact that just because you are able to get a discount, not all models or make of cars will be covered under it. Most of the time what will be covered under this discount scheme will be mid range sedans and family type cars. More popular sporty type vehicles may not be included, including entry level ones.

Should you want to avail of even better deals and higher rates, you can do so through a union if you are a member of one. Teacher unions usually have some kind of deal with many types of consumer companies that give great offers to their members. Under car discount schemes, you may get even better rates and a lot of freebies, which may even include free insurance.

Thus this article has shown some basic information on what you need to know about a discount on cars for teachers. There are also other things you need to get to know about such a program, such as eligibility of a car buy back or even a trade in for higher models should a certain time period elapse. I any case, the information thus covered should be enough for you to get started.
