The short answer
Several manufacturer programs in their current form run through January 4, 2027, including Ford's First Responder and Farm Bureau recognition programs and Chevrolet's educator offer delivery deadline. If you qualify, get your authorization before you sign.
Our pricing doesn't change for December: new vehicles are priced at invoice with no dealer add-ons. What can change is the manufacturer's incentives, which we can only quote on the day.
