I was under the impression that the only people who get the $850 were those who already spent the money and submitted receipts. Also, you have to pay taxes on that money - they're going to 1099 everyone who submits request for reimbursement.

I was planning on using it to buy the Mopar PCM, but after reading the details on the settlement, I thought we were out of luck unless we already had the claim in. Am I wrong?

Here's the email I received:

We are pleased to inform you that the VCA recently received the majority of the funds owed to the participants of the VCA Sales Advocate Contest. We were fortunate to receive a substantial payment as a judgment of Chrysler LLC’s bankruptcy case. While this is great news, this partial payment does not cover full reimbursement for any participant that submitted referral forms, we cannot confirm if additional funds may become available in the future. You may recall that this was a program where Chrysler L.L.C. would reward VCA members for referrals on successful new Viper purchases.

After discussion with the VCA Officers, it was determined that the fair and reasonable way to disburse this money is to reimburse each participant as follows: if you submitted one referral form, you will be reimbursed $850 and if you submitted two referral forms, you will be reimbursed $1275. Please keep in mind, you must have spent the $1,000 and submitted your receipt to VCA Headquarters in order to be reimbursed. We will identify those individuals and issue checks within the next week.

We will also identify and contact those that have not yet sent receipts in. As this time, no one will be reimbursed until the receipt(s) are received by VCA Headquarters.

One last note--all participants will be receiving an IRS 1099 Form. We need your social security number in order to prepare 1099s at the end of the year. We will be contacting all participants to obtain their SS numbers prior to releasing any reimbursement checks.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Martin,
I just talked to Kim at the VCA and was told what I posted which is I have 30 days from when I received notice (yesterday) to get my receipts in at which time you will be reimbursed for up to $850.00...You can only get products from a Chry/Dodge dealer as was mentioned originally...Kevin

PS What status is your ACR in..??????

 

[Paul Hawker]

I would buy tires. Can be used or converted back to cash.

Hmm - I'll have to look into that and see what the scoop is. My reading of that was we had to have already spent the money - even if we haven't yet sent the receipts in. If we still have 30 days, then I might go on a quick shopping spree.

I'm working with Chrysler to get my car sent to another dealer since my friends at Timberline can't deliver it The car is on its way to Prefix from what they tell me, but nobody at Chrysler seems to know for sure if the delivering dealer has to honor the terms and conditions negotiated with the dealer who I originally ordered through. They told me that, since money changed hands when I ordered the car, Chrysler is going to require that the dealer delivering the car honor the price negotiated, but they had to put a caveat on it since this is a rather unusual problem (I guess not many Vipers were ordered through dealers that lost their franchise). I'm not in any kind of mood to have to renegotiate after waiting since February for my car - so who knows... Timberline has been fantastic through this process, but they aren't in a position to intervene now that their franchise w/ Chrysler is lost.

same as someone else posted. Tires.

If you buy from Dodge, you better make that "tire", not tires

After the forced discount to $850...
Figure 30% or so tax with the 1099...

Could probably get a couple official Viper oil filters with the remainder...


IF ...the reimbursemnt comes at all....

So if you buy $850 dollars worth of merchandise (that you really don't need) to hurry and beat the deadline, what happens if the $ offer is rescended? Does Chrysler take the merchandise back and return the $850 cash...

yeah right....

 

[2001ViperGTS]

Yeah, the whole program turned out to be pretty useless. To go through all that hassle it's not even worth it, but maybe that's what they were hoping...

Nevermind....

Congrats on G status. My ACR has been in "Inspection" status for longer than I can believe! A good friend of mine let me drive his purple/white stripe ACR, and it has Belanger headers/exhaust. It makes the car sound like it looks!!! I ordered my exhaust immediately, and it is sitting at Roanoke Dodge waiting for my car to arrive...someday...I hope...maybe..

So, my advice it to put your money towards exhaust. But, only if you like it when your car sounds like it is upset at the world.
