Teachers far and wide are probably the unsung heroes of any age or even country. In fact may teachers will say that it is quite a thankless job at some point in time and the salary can be wanting in most cases. Due to the fairly low average incomes of most teachers, most especially new ones, car discounts for teachers are most welcome.

Sometimes additional requirements such as minimum number of years of tenure will be required also to make you eligible.

Ford, Chrysler, Dodge and General Motors are some of the manufacturers of cars that do give discounts to those of the teaching profession. However, the caveat most of the time will be that you need to be working for a school that has an affiliation with them.

This discount is a one time discount and does not stack with other discounts given during the year due to season or promotional gimmicks. Usually very flexible payment terms are given that can fit most budgets.

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.

If you are currently a member of union, there is a possibility that you can enjoy higher discounts than the one given the industry in general. This is because unions will broker deals with big name makers to give the best deals for their members. This can include free insurance and freebies to sweeten the deal.
