When asked about the rebate dealer stated , it was included in the discount. They would be willing to take the car back rather than give the Military discount in addition TO THE DISCOUNTS NEGOTIATED. The availability of a veterans discount was never disclosed.? Am I being too grumpy about this and did YOU get YOUR veterans discount. ?
Dealers always include all rebates in their negotiated price. It is standard practice for the rebate money to go from the manufacturer to the dealer, not to the customer.
