Best 2009 Year-End Deals on New Cars
Nearly all car manufacturers add special year-end incentives at the end of the calendar year, normally a slow sales period. This year — 2009 — is no exception. The best deals are coming from American car makers such as Ford, GM, and Chrysler.
If you want to take advantage of special end-of-year deals, you have to act quickly because, this year, most promotions end on January 4, 2010, the first Monday after the first of the year.
Let’s take a look at some of the current year-end 2009 special deals (most are for new 2010 models):
Ford Focus – $500 rebate, plus $1500 Ford Credit rebate, plus $1500 year-end promotional rebate — or $1500 and 0% APR financing.

Nissan Altima 2.5 – special lease deal – $199 a month, 39 months, $2999 due at signing
These are all great deals but remember that it’s the car manufacturer who is making the deal, not the dealer. You should actually be able to improve on the deals by asking the dealer to chip in with his own price discount on top of the manufacturer rebates. This is the way to get some incredible end-of-year bargains. Don’t let a dealer tell you he can’t do it. If he wants to sell cars, he will do it.
