Employee Discount: Drive Home a Deal

Several car dealerships offer discounts for staff and faculty

Debbie Wolf loved her red Chrysler Town & Country minivan.

It was the perfect car for raising her four kids — Jared, Kiera and 9-year-old twins Liam and Ryleigh. The minivan helped the family move from Long Island to North Carolina in 2016 and carried them through carpool pickups, soccer practices, grocery store runs and high school graduations.

But in 2021, Wolf, an inpatient case manager at Duke University Hospital, needed a new vehicle to meet the needs of her family. So, she turned to PERQS, the Duke staff and faculty discount program.

Using a discount through the DaimlerChrysler Affiliate Rewards, Wolf saved $2,000 when she purchased a white 2021 Chrysler Pacifica at Bleecker Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram in Dunn.

The 1% below factory invoice deal at participating Chrysler dealerships is among the automotive offers for staff and faculty through the PERQs program. BMW, Volvo, Ford, GM, Mark Jacobson Toyota, and other dealership offer savings.

For the Wolf family, the savings allowed them to purchase the minivan and a used Dodge Ram truck for Wolf’s husband, Kurt.

“Every little bit helps,” she said. “Knowing I have this perk of getting a discount was super helpful. If we ever had to go back and buy another vehicle, I would absolutely go back to see which dealerships are listed to use that benefit again.”

The Chrysler Pacifica has plenty of features, including three rows of spacious leather seating, USB plugins, dual TVs, heated seats and storage that have made frequent road trips to New York to see family more comfortable.
