Hidden Car Incentives for December 2010
If you’ve read other articles on this web site you know that car manufacturers often give dealers “hidden” factory-to-dealer rebates, which is called “marketing support.” The money is offered only at certain times when sales for particular models need a little “push.” Dealers can use the money for advertising, special sales events, or simply as [...]
December 2010 End-of-Year Car Deals
December has always been a great time for anyone looking to buy or lease a new car. This December is no exception. Some of the best deals are on leftover 2010 models this year, now that many 2011 models have arrived. Dealers have clearance sales to reduce leftover inventories. However, there are many good deals on brand [...]
Special Lease Deals on Nissan Vehicles
Car leasing has made a big comeback from a couple of years ago. Many car companies, such as Nissan, seriously cut back or completely eliminated leasing in late 2007 and 2008. Now, that’s all changed. Nissan currently has special car lease deals on nearly every model in their product line. However, the deals are only [...]
Honda Lease Deals for November and December
Honda has come though once again, for November 2010, with some of the best lease deals in the industry — on some of the best vehicles in the industry. The catch, as always, is that the deals don’t apply to all models and styles. The lease deals only apply to selected styles of certain models, usually [...]
New Car Hidden Rebates
Car buyers typically know about new-car rebates and low-interest incentives being offered by dealers and car manufacturers because they are heavily advertised and promoted. However, there is one kind of incentive that is not advertised, at least not directly. We often call it a “hidden rebate” or “secret rebate.” In the auto industry it’s called [...]
What’s Better – New Car or Used Car?
A couple of years ago (the “old days”) before the recent economic recession and car industry “crash”, it was nearly always a better idea to buy used cars instead of brand new. It was a no-brainer. Not anymore. Used car prices, according to Automotive News, are the highest in years and will remain that way [...]
Car Deals for November 2010
We’ve explained it before. Car manufacturers and dealers don’t announce new incentive programs until shortly after the beginning of each month. Old incentive programs must expire before new ones are revealed. Most current incentives end on November 1. Some new programs will be announced as soon as November 2 but most will come about a [...]
Lease a Honda for $159
Honda always has a few good car lease deals every month. This month, one of the best lease deals is on the 2010 Honda Civic LX 4-door sedan at only $159 a month, with $1840 required as a down payment. When you add in the required first month’s payment, the total amount due up front [...]
0% Deals for October 2010
Most car manufacturers are now offering 0% APR special loan rates on many models, including new 2011 models. Zero percent loans require you to pay no finance charges, or interest, on your loan for the life of the loan. In most cases, the 0% offer is only good for certain loan terms, such as 24 [...]

Each month we always see great interest about what new car deals will look like in that month. Now, it’s about deals and incentives for September 2010. We never know (and dealers don’t know) about new incentive programs ahead of time. And car manufacturers are sometimes slow to announce new programs each month. One thing [...]
Best New Cars
With all the new-car choices out there it is often difficult to know which is best. Which cars are the most reliable? Which are the best values? The safest? The best quality? Or the most comfortable to drive? Although all car brands and models have many characteristics in common, they are all different not only [...]
Car Deals Outlook – August 2010
The best car deals and incentives for August 2010 will be on “leftover” 2010 models, now that many 2011 models are already out. Dealers need to get rid of the older models to make room for new models. Money is tied up in the old models and that money needs to be retrieved to buy [...]

We post this type of article just about every month for those people who are looking for car incentives, rebates, and deals for the next month — in this case, July 2010.

BMW Ramps Up Incentives for June
BMW has announced a variety of nice new incentives for June 2010 — in the form of low-interest loans, “loyalty” cash, special promotional leases, and factory-to-dealer cash. The low-interest loans are structured a little odd but are nevertheless interesting and worth considering. For example, on the BMW 335i xDrive, you can get 0.9% APR for [...]
Special Chevrolet Deals for June 2010
It looks like Chevrolet (and other GM brands) might want to be the “good deals” leader for June 2010.
