Employee discount on new Evo X?

At my work I can get some brands of cars at dealer cost to roughly 3% above cost, depending on manufacturer. Subaru has the best discounts.

Like right now I could get the Evo 9 at about 1% above the dealership cost. (Depending on if the dealer is in the program).

Do you think that the X would have that option at some dealers??

Also a side note.. I was told that the X would have a reduced warranty, not the 10 year - 100,000mi.

No offense, but why are you asking here? Ask someone at your work instead. As for the warranty, I believe nothing's been officially released. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't specs released before warranty info? I mean, with a car like the X, most people want to know about specs way before warranty.

Im thinking you need to ask your rep if you work at a dealership.

O.K.... I don't work at a dealership, my HR department has no clue on upcoming models, and given its a dealer specific type discount its up to the dealer if they want to participate in it or not.

I was asking here because I was hoping that some people in this forum might work at a dealer and have allready heard something about there chances of a discount.

So I hope somebody here would be able to answer that question.. or at least if they have heard anything.

I have the same deal, I can get some cars below invoice, but there is always a fineprint saying NO high demand vehicles or Limited edition vehicles. If Evo X not falling in any of those categories you will be fine. But I'm pretty sure that evo X going to be high demend vehicle in the beginning

Just to let you know, I administer the VIP affiliate/vendor program at my dealership. The only Henkel I see on my list is:

Henkel Surface Technologies
32100 Stephenson Highway
Madison Heights, MI 48071

Is that where your company is based out of?

Your manager should wait until the updated fleet rules come out on the MDL. If he won't furnish you with the information, just give me a PM when the cars come in and I'll get the info for you.
