By Mark Reynolds


In any country and in any age the role of the teacher cannot be understated. They can create leaders and professionals with their skills and have always been touted as the noblest profession. However, most of the time their salaries can be found wanting, and discounts are always welcome. Car discounts for teachers are one way of ameliorating the cost of living for these noble professionals and you may be one of them curious to take advantage of these schemes.

The only way to really get a good discount for a car from a manufacturer is of course if you are gainfully employed. And being gainfully employed means that you are working at a school, whether it be a private or a public one. In some cases you have to have a certain number of years working before you can actually avail of one.

Manufacturers of big name cars, such as General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Dodge are most known to be the ones to give discounts on their units. General Motors is probably the most flexible in that you can avail of a discount whether or not you are working for an affiliated school or not. They also allow extension of the privilege to family members and spouses also.

Starting to avail of this discount is done fairly simply. All you need to do is to click on the manufacturer website, or the website of an accredited dealer and fill in the application form. It is very much suggested that you also have a handy webcam or on line camera ready just in case you need to send in digitized copies of documents or even a quick photo of yourself as needed.

The most salient benefit will be of course the enjoyment of a discount that can range anywhere from 0.4% to upwards of 1.0% or more for selected brands and models of automobiles. They also have very flexible payment terms that can be patterned after any pocket. However, these discounts do not stack up with others, such as seasonal discounts or even other promotional deals given in the year.

Not all units are covered though and some of the more hyped up and popular models will be excluded. Sometimes very popular entry models are also excluded despite their lower prices. What will be most probably included are mid range sedans and family type cars.

Should you want to avail of even better deals and higher rates, you can do so through a union if you are a member of one. Teacher unions usually have some kind of deal with many types of consumer companies that give great offers to their members. Under car discount schemes, you may get even better rates and a lot of freebies, which may even include free insurance.

Thus this article has shown some basic information on what you need to know about a discount on cars for teachers. There are also other things you need to get to know about such a program, such as eligibility of a car buy back or even a trade in for higher models should a certain time period elapse. I any case, the information thus covered should be enough for you to get started.
