It this home site for Jaguar to dealer communication & dealer aids.

 

thanks!

 

I realize this is semantics, but it might be helpful if, instead of continuing to refer to this as a "discount", people would refer to the program as a "dealer rebate".

Discount implies the dealer is giving the buyer additional money off the purchase price of the vehicle without restitution. A Dealer Rebate would indicate to the Dealer that the price reduction to the buyer gets rebated to the dealer by the program sponsor.

If you purchase a new cell phone, as most of us have, you likely paid $99 up to $199 for a device with a suggested retail price (MSRP) of $499 to $699.

You paid sales tax on the full retail price of the phone. The price reduction is a result of a subsidy offered to the retailer by the mfg. of the device. The State requires the retailer to charge sales tax on the MSRP, regardless of any sales incentives that may be in play behind the scenes.

This is great info, but still hearsay like most everything else offered in this thread.

Maybe you could provide a link or paste a copy of the memo.

I get Jag Guys frustration... he wants something concrete to take to his dealership, rather than a bunch of message board babble.

 

got it thanks. not a big deal but still kinda bogus. regardless, it's the law.

 

I closed the deal yesterday on a new F-Type Coupe R and there was no issue with getting the JCNA discount.

They did not charge tax on the 2500. If they are not collecting the money from the customer, I don't see how they could.

 

Nice. Now we're looking like we're getting somewhere.

 

Past cars I purchased from different brands applied the discount after all taxes are calculated on the sale price, so you don't get the benefit of not paying tax on a reduced amount. I think that's what Iron Mike is saying. If you look at your sales receipt you should see the order in which the math and therefore tax was calculated.

 

There is no link that would work as it is a password protested website. If he wants something concrete go to the JCNA website & print the offer. How can this be frustrating, all he does is ask them for the discount. As I said so few members actually buy new cars that dealers tend not to ask if someone is a member.

That is not how it works in AL. We pay tax on the purchase price. If there is a trade involved we pay tax on the difference between purchase price and trade allowance. I will not be paying sales tax on the $2500.00 JCNA Member Discount.
.

 

Because the VP of JCNA knows nothing of the discount... and has indicated that if such existed, they should, could, and would know by now!
Understand the password protected issue, maybe you could post a screen capture of the memo...

The JCNA thread where the JCNA discount was originally announced seems to have lost some credibility/authority based on the last few posts:

http://www.jcna.com/forums/view.php?Vfnum=001&Vthread=8207&Vref=

At this point, the following steps seem to make the most sense:

1. Ask the GM to call Retail Operations at the 800 number for details about the $2500 JCNA discount.
2. If that does not work then ask the dealer to search his Jaguar email account for the Sales Bulletin (JSOB) from July 3.
3. Also ask the GM to search Jaguar Business Network (JBN) for the Sales Bulletin.

The JSOB ID is followed by a series of numbers. Can someone please provide the full JSOB ID? This will be more authoritative.

Has anyone here been on the JBN website? I'd like to relay the nav path of the Sales Bulletin to the GM if possible. For example:

1. Login to JBN at https://jbn.jlrext.com/
2. Click the "Sales Bulletins" url on the home page.
3. JSOB-12345 will be displayed at the top of the JSOB results list.

 

@jag_guy - - really you should not have to tell the SM or GM how to navigate to find the Sales Bulletins. They should already know this. As I stated in my earlier post the info my GM told me about stated it is a Private Offer Program. Again your SM or GM should be familiar with those. You should not have to convince this person, you are having to stress way on much on this!

 

Tell him to do his homework & he will verify what I posted. There is a process involving the dealer contacting retailer operations to get a pin number. That is all part of the process.

 

Are you familiar with the term Private Offer Program?

 

Ok - One member mentioned a "Sales Bulletin" (JSOB) and another member mentioned a "Private Offer Program."

Are these 2 different types of communication where the discount is published? Or is the Private Offer Program advertised as part of the Sales Bulletin?

 

That is the heading on the bulletin is Organizations and Corporations Program. I think the Private Offer has to do with a marketing program.

 

The Sales bulletin is called Organizations and Corporations Program

 

Not trying to be argumentative, but according to Buick's Sales Manager, it is not at all uncommon for the dealers to by completely unaware of these programs, let alone where to validate them. Given the number of posters here who have been alarmed by the lack of information at the dealer level, I would tend to feel these programs are:
1) not widely publicized; and
2) even less frequently taken advantage of.

3) this may very well be a JLRNA Private Offer Program and not a JCNA sponsored rebate.
