Kick Off Summer: Memorial Day Savings at Claremont Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer in Southern California, and for the auto industry, it’s also one of the most aggressively discounted windows on the calendar. If you’ve been watching a specific Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500, or Pacifica and trying to figure out the right moment to pull the trigger — this is probably it. Here’s the friendly, no-fluff breakdown of what’s actually on sale at Knight Claremont this Memorial Day, why the savings are this big right now, and how to walk out with the right deal.

This post breaks down the current Memorial Day car sales in Claremont — what’s on offer, how to read it, and how to actually capture the savings.

If you want to skip ahead and browse, here are the live pages: new vehicle specials, new vehicle offers, and our broader offers and incentives page. All are updated regularly through the Memorial Day window.

The conventional wisdom is “wait until December” — and it’s wrong more often than it’s right. Memorial Day quietly does what end-of-year sales used to: clear out aged inventory, hit quarterly sales targets, and push the OEM’s most aggressive factory programs into the market all at once. Three things stack to make late May the right window:

Factory programs peak. Stellantis (the parent of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram) launches one of its most aggressive incentive packages of the year in late spring, designed specifically to clear current-model-year inventory before the next model year ramps. The cash discounts and 0% APR programs you’ll see this month are usually larger than those that show up in December.

Dealer inventory pressure. Lots are sitting on units that have been on the ground long enough to be expensive to keep. We’d rather move them at attractive numbers than carry them for another 60 days.

Bonus cash stacks. Loyalty bonuses, conquest cash, lease-loyalty programs, military and first-responder discounts, and student or college-grad bonuses often stack on top of the headline incentive. The “advertised price” almost never reflects the deal you’ll actually qualify for.

Lease residuals favor summer. Mid-year residual values often hit a sweet spot in late spring, which is why Memorial Day lease offers are routinely among the year’s best. If you’ve been considering leasing, this is the month to look closely at Jeep lease deals in the Inland Empire — the math is usually better than at any other point in the calendar.

The takeaway: you don’t have to wait. The deal is already on the table.

Rather than walk every trim and program in detail (everything changes weekly), here’s the lifestyle-organized version of where the strongest Memorial Day car sales at Knight Claremont are landing right now.

For the off-road family — Jeep Wrangler. Memorial Day Wrangler offers are some of the most aggressive deals we see all year. Current programs include large cash discounts off MSRP on select trims, 0% APR financing for qualified buyers, and lease offers well below typical Wrangler lease pricing. Plus stackable Stellantis Loyalty Bonus Cash and 4xe Lease Loyalty Cash for current Stellantis lessees. Browse the Jeep Wrangler inventory, check the Wrangler research page, or look at the Wrangler 4xe if a plug-in hybrid is on your shortlist.

For the family hauler — Jeep Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, and the Wagoneer family. Grand Cherokee L is one of the headline Memorial Day items in our showroom this year, with strong cash, APR, and lease offers all running simultaneously. Browse Grand Cherokee inventory, Grand Cherokee L inventory, and the Wagoneer lineup.

For the work truck buyer — Ram 1500, 2500, 3500. This is where the holiday truck specials really shine. The Ram 1500 has been carrying some of the most aggressive Memorial Day pricing in segment, with large cash discounts on Big Horn trims, 0% APR financing for qualified buyers, and lease specials. Ram Heavy Duty 2500/3500 trims also carry significant cash off MSRP this Memorial Day. Browse the Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 — or check the Ram 1500 RHO for the performance pickup option.

For the performance buyer — Dodge Charger. Memorial Day Charger deals include serious cash off MSRP on select Charger Daytona R/T models and competitive lease pricing. With the Daytona EV joining the Charger family, there’s real variety in what’s available — gas-powered Charger Six Pack, electric Charger Daytona, or used SRT performance. See current Charger inventory or the Dodge Charger research page.

For the family-first buyer — Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid. Pacifica deals get a Memorial Day refresh annually, and the Plug-In Hybrid may also stack with federal and California EV incentives. Browse the Pacifica inventory or the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid research page.

For the adventurer — Jeep Gladiator. The Gladiator carries one of the largest discount programs of any current Jeep model this Memorial Day, with stackable 0% APR and lease options. Browse the Gladiator inventory or the Gladiator research page.

For commercial buyers. Don’t sleep on Memorial Day for commercials — ProMaster, ProMaster EV, and Ram Chassis Cab carry their own programs and may pair with On-the-Job Allowance bonuses. See the commercial inventory.

Specific offer amounts, eligibility windows, and program names change weekly. The single best reference is the live new vehicle specials page.

This is the part where most buyers get confused. When the same vehicle has three offers — say, $12,910 off MSRP, OR 0% APR for 36 months, OR a $199/month lease — they’re not the same deal. They have different math, different commitments, and they fit different buyers. The friendly breakdown:

Cash discount off MSRP. Lowers your purchase price (and your sales tax basis in California). Best for buyers paying cash, putting a large down payment, or financing through a lender outside the captive program. It also gives you the most flexibility to refinance later.

0% APR financing. Saves you all interest charges over the loan term. Best for buyers financing a longer term who want a low total cost of ownership and predictable monthly payments. Worth running through our payment calculator — the math sometimes beats the cash discount on a multi-year hold.

Lease. Lowest monthly payment for the same vehicle. Best for buyers who want a new vehicle every 2–3 years, value the warranty coverage for the full lease term, and drive fewer than 12,000–15,000 miles per year. Current Memorial Day Jeep lease deals in the Inland Empire are particularly strong on Wrangler, Grand Cherokee L, and Gladiator.

You usually have to pick one — most factory programs are “cash OR APR OR lease,” not “all three combined.” Our finance team will run all three scenarios in parallel so you can see the real numbers before deciding. Start with the Capital One pre-qualification (no impact to your credit) or the quick qualify form to find your actual rate.

Memorial Day weekend is the busiest sales weekend of the year for Inland Empire dealers. If you want to actually capture the deal without spending five hours on the floor, a short pre-game makes a huge difference.

Build your short list online first. Browse all new vehicles and narrow down to two or three trims before you visit. Walking in with a list cuts decision time in half.

Pre-qualify before you arrive. Capital One pre-qualification takes 60 seconds and gives you a real number to plan around. The What’s My Buying Power tool helps confirm you’re shopping in the right zone.

Bring trade-in data with you. Use our instant offer, KBB Instant Cash Offer, or value your trade before you drive over. Even if you’re not trading, knowing the value gives you negotiating leverage. We also buy outright if you’re not replacing the vehicle.

Use the price match guarantee. If you’ve found another Inland Empire dealer with a qualifying offer on a comparable vehicle, bring it. We’ll match where we can.

Don’t ignore Certified Pre-Owned and used. Some of the best deals at Knight Claremont over Memorial Day aren’t on new vehicles at all — they’re on certified pre-owned trade-ins coming back through the lot. Browse Certified Pre-Owned inventory, pre-owned specials, or used vehicles priced under $25K.

Stack service and parts savings while you’re here. Memorial Day often coincides with refreshes to service specials, parts specials, and MOPAR coupons. Worth a five-minute check before you drive home.

When are Memorial Day car sales at Knight Claremont actually live?
Most Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram) factory programs are live for the full month of May and typically extend into early June. Dealer-level Memorial Day programs run from the week before the holiday through the holiday weekend itself. The most current offers are always on the live new vehicle specials page.

Are the Memorial Day Jeep lease deals in the Inland Empire really the best of the year?
For most Jeep trims — yes. Memorial Day lease offers on Wrangler, Grand Cherokee L, and Gladiator are routinely the most competitive of the calendar. May residual values combined with stackable bonus cash typically make late spring better than December.

Can I combine the cash discount with 0% APR financing?
Usually no — Stellantis programs are typically structured as cash OR APR OR lease. Our finance team will run all three scenarios so you can see the real monthly numbers and total cost of ownership before deciding.

What are the current Memorial Day holiday truck specials?
The Ram 1500 has been carrying some of the largest discount programs of any current Stellantis truck this Memorial Day, including cash off Big Horn trims, 0% APR for 60 months on qualifying buyers, and competitive lease pricing. Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty trims also carry significant Memorial Day cash off MSRP.

Do I have to be a current Jeep or Ram owner to qualify for the best lease offer?
No — but if you are a current Stellantis lessee, you may qualify for stackable Loyalty Bonus Cash. Conquest Bonus Cash is also available if you’re moving from a competing brand. The lender will confirm eligibility at signing.

Can I get a Memorial Day deal on a used or certified pre-owned vehicle?
Yes — see current pre-owned specials, the Certified Pre-Owned inventory, and used vehicles priced under $25K. Used inventory typically refreshes weekly.

Are EV incentives stackable with Memorial Day offers?
Sometimes. The Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid, Wrangler 4xe, Grand Cherokee 4xe, Wagoneer S, and ProMaster EV may qualify for federal and California state programs in addition to dealer offers. See our Explore Electrification page or Los Angeles County EV dealer page.

Do you offer Spanish-speaking sales help over Memorial Day weekend?
Yes — visit Nosotros Hablamos Español or call 909-729-4679 and ask for a bilingual representative.

The advertised price almost never reflects what you can actually drive home for. Browse the new vehicle specials, pre-qualify, or stop into Knight Claremont at 620 Auto Center Drive — we’ll get the deal in front of you in plain English and get you on the road before the long weekend.
