Auto rebates scrutinized by FTC inquiry
The Center for Auto Safety asked the Federal Trade Commission to review whether Ford and Chrysler rebates truly benefit buyers. It says dealers typically offset rebates by raising sticker prices, with Chrysler rebates 300 to 1000 dollars and Ford rebates 500 to 700 dollars, while dealers pay up to half directly from factory.
