“That’s right, if a retailer is participating, they don’t have to limit which vehicles qualify for the discount. Each customer must receive the correct price as shown on the authorization form.
If a retailer is unwilling to offer the correct price, they will be removed from the program and we will assist the customer in finding a retailer that will properly place an order at the VIP price.
Additionally, after a sale is completed, sales documents are audited for compliance. As I explained, many retailers will not agree to honor the program without first seeing eligibility, which may be what you experienced.”
Note: This last statement from the VIP office is NOT what I experienced. Under uncertain conditions, these dealers were limiting their sales through the VIP program and thus their ability to have vehicles for sale at a higher profit. Don’t let them bully you. If you experience this, email the VIP program and they will connect you with a dealer who can take care of you.
