What are your thoughts on the employee purchase programs out there? My employer offers a discount through the big 3 US manufacturers. Is it even worth to mention, or do you lose all your negotiating power?
New cars/trucks/SUV.

There are different tiers of employee discount. If you physically work for one of the manufacturers there is one tier price. If you work for one of the suppliers to the manufacturers there may be another tier. And on and on.

Find out what the tier is or what the discount is and take it from there. Depending on what tier or discount you may get you may be able to purchase a car off the lot cheaper without any tier discount.

Here is one program provided by Ford. Called the X-Plan or Partner Recognition Plan.
