2010 Car Deals
Where are the Cheap Car Leases?
Where are the best deals in car leasing right now? The answer: almost everywhere. Nearly every car manufacturer is currently offering some great special lease deals on at least a few of their models and styles. With the exception of some General Motors leases, nearly all the lease deals now being offered come from non-American car [...]
Cars with Highest Rebates
As you might already know, now is one of the best times in history to buy a new car. Why? Because most car manufacturers are trying to get potential buyers’ attention by offer high factory-to-customer rebates, as well as other incentives. Rebates of $5000 or more are available on some brand and models. Rebates are [...]
Great Mazda Leases for May
Mazda is currently offering some outstanding lease deals for May 2010 (until June 1, 2010). The newest deal on the hot Mazda3 is particularly worth considering. Some of the deals even have $0 down and first month’s payment made for you. And no security deposit. This means you pay nothing up front (except for some [...]
Toyota Deals Continued for May 2010
As we expected, Toyota has extended and improved on its very agressive incentive program that started in May 2010. In fact, Toyota is currently offering some of the best rebates, bonus cash, lease deals, and 0% loans in the industry right now. The May Toyota deals end on June 1, 2010. The extended deals do not [...]
Lease a Toyota Corolla for $149

For example, the Toyota Corolla LE with lots of extra equipment and options is being offered for $149 a month. This is a 36 month lease, 36,000 total miles allowed, and $1999 is due [...]
New Tool for Best Car Deals
Would you like to know what other people are paying for the same new car you want? Want to make sure you get the best car deal you can get without overpaying? How many times have you bought a car and, after all the haggling and price juggling, wondered later if you actually got a [...]
Car Deals for May 2010
As of the time of this writing, we don’t yet know exactly what rebates, 0% loans, or other deals car manufacturers are going to announce for May 2010. As always, we never know until after the previous month’s incentives have expired. Car makers don’t even let their dealers know until the last minute. Most current incentive [...]
What Car Should I Buy?
“What car should I buy?” is a common buyer’s question, particularly from people who don’t spend a lot of time reading car reviews, visiting dealer showrooms, or who don’t buy cars very often. There are so many makes and models, many of which are very similar in appearance and specifications. Then, of course, we all [...]
Want a Great Deal on a Hummer?
If you have ever wanted a GM Hummer, now is the time to buy. Why? Two reasons. First, General Motors has announced that it is officially terminating the Hummer brand, and that it has only 2200 of them left. Second, General Motors has put extremely attractive incentives on all remaining Hummers to help them sell. The [...]
Volkswagen Deals for April and May 2010
Volkswagen has announced incentives for April and May 2010 in the form of some very modest rebates that are restricted to lease financing, and some 0% APR loan on some models and styles. The incentives end on 6/1/2010. Additionally, other models that don’t get 0% APR loans, do get low-interest (typically 1.9%) loan deals. Not [...]
April 2010 Nissan Deals
Nissan is one of the first majors to announce new incentives for April 2010. The incentives come in the form of factory-to-customer rebates (“customer cash”), 0% and low-interest loans, and one factory-to-dealer rebate ($500 on the 2010 Nissan Pathfinder). The Nissan deals are all for 2010 model vehicles and all deals end on 4/30/2010. And [...]
April 2010 Car Deals and Incentives?
Just like every month, we don’t know exactly what car manufacturers are going to offer us next month (April) in the way of rebates, low-interest loans, special lease deals, or whatever they may choose to throw our way. Most of the current incentives end on March 31, 2010, which means the absolute earliest we’ll hear [...]
Honda $0-$0-$0-$0 Lease Deals for March and April
Honda has just announced special lease deals on all Honda models. The deals are good through May 3, 2010. What is interesting about these deals is that they are offering what they call a “0-0-0-0″ deal. This means zero down payment, zero due at signing (except for local registration and tag fees), zero security fee, [...]
Great Toyota Leases for March 2010
We have talked a lot about Toyota in these articles, given their unfortunate problems, and our expectations of incentives from them to help shore up sales. We have recently reported that the company is only offering a smattering of incentives, not including rebates, but a healthy dose of zero percent loans and $2000 in factory-to-dealer [...]
Lease a 2010 Honda Civic for $169
Honda has consistently offered good car lease deals every month. March 2010 is no exception. These are genuinely good deals in which the lease price is set low, the lease-end residual set high, and the money factor (finance charge) set low. Combined, these factors make for a low monthly payment. What is the catch? There’s [...]
Who Has the Best Car Deals for March?
The best new-car deals come from manufacturers who are offering the highest incentives, which could be a combination of direct factory-to-customer rebates, low-interest loans, 0% APR loans, and special lease deals. Good deals can also be created when manufacturers provide dealers with “secret” per-car factory-to-dealer cash. Even though dealers can use this money for advertising and sales [...]
Good BMW Deals for March-April 2010
As you may know, BMW is a little shy about seeming too anxious to sell or lease you a car. They don’t want you to think they are a discount car brand, like all the others. However, in these times of slow sales for all, BMW manages to slip in some pretty good deals without [...]
Toyota Deals So Far
Given Toyota’s highly publicized problems with some of its models, we expected to see some of the best incentive offers in the company’s history. Those offers are now becoming available, although a little slowly and not yet quite as aggressively as we expected. The new Toyota deals, which end on March 31, 2010, although attractive, are [...]
Where Are the March Car Deals?
As always, at the end of each month, we find people looking for next month’s car deals — in this case, looking for March 2010 deals. And our answer is always the same each month. We don’t know and neither does anyone else. Car manufacturers don’t announce new incentive plans until the old plans expire. This month, [...]
Biggest Dealer Cash Incentives for February
What are dealer cash incentives? Why should automotive consumers be interested? Dealer cash is ”secret” money given to dealers by car manufacturers to help them sell cars. Dealers can use the money for advertising, sales promotions, or, more commonly, as price discounts to customers. In other words, the money usually flows from the factory to [...]
Mercedes Lease Deals for February
Mercedes is currently offering good lease deals on at least one style in each of its 2010 model lines. These deals are good through February 2010. As you know, Mercedes likes to be viewed as a luxury brand and rarely offers direct rebates or explicit price discounts. However, by offering special lease deals, which is [...]
Best Deals on GM Cars
General Motors (Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Hummer, Pontiac, GMC, Saturn, Saab) is offering some excellent incentives for February in the form of rebates, low-interest loans, and dealer cash. These deals expire on 3/1/2010. Deals are especially good on 2009 models, which GM apparently still has plenty of inventory. Don’t expect to see outstanding deals on 2010 models until [...]
Ford Incentives for February
Ford is offering new rebates, promotional bonuses, and low interest rates (including some 0%) for February 2010. These deals expire on 3/1/2010. As usual, if you like one of the Ford deals, you must choose either the rebate, or the low-interest loan, but not both. However, Ford is doing something a little different in that [...]
Lease a Land Rover
Land Rover is currently offering special lease deals on some of its models for February and March 2010 — until 3/31/2010. This is a great way to be able to drive a Land Rover luxury vehicle but, unless you understand how car leasing works, we advise taking the time to learn before you decide to [...]
Suzuki Offers Rebates and Loans for February
Suzuki has some excellent car incentives for February, in the form of customer rebates and low-interest loans — and a few 0% APR loans. Some of the deals are on 2009 models, where you’ll find the best deals. But the 2010 model deals aren’t bad either. Here are the current Suzuki deals for February (until [...]
