$$$ for Chrysler dealers

"Beginning today, the Auburn Hills-based division of DaimlerChrysler AG is giving dealers up to $7,000 per vehicle in "dealer cash," which is money dealers can pass on to consumers or keep as profit.

All totaled, Chrysler is offering roughly $500 million in dealer cash on 164,000 remaining 2006 cars and trucks...

Although Chrysler has reduced its inventories from a high of 647,000 vehicles in July to 499,000 in November, 2006 models still account for 32 percent of its inventory."

That sounds REALLY high given that we're a couple months into the 07 model year already.

Maybe this is why the sales chief left or was forced out...
