October Deals
Car Deal Outlook – November 2011
As you may already know from reading our postings on this web site, car manufacturers and dealers announce new incentives every month. Next month’s deals may be better or worse, or about the same, as this month’s. We won’t really know what November 2011 car deals will look like until a few days into the month [...]
Who Has the Largest Rebates?
Car manufacturers offer limited-time rebates as a way to encourage potential customers to buy now. October 2011 is no exception. In any given month, some manufacturers really want customers to buy, offering very large rebates that represent a significant discount off of sticker price. These are deals worth considering if you are in the market for a new car. [...]
Acura – Special Lease Deals for October
Acura is currently offering a variety of special car leases on all models except the TL. However, only one style within each model line gets the good deals. One of the special options with each lease offer is that you can choose either nothing due at signing (sign-and-drive) or choose to make a down payment (cap [...]
Best Car Deals – October 2011
Typically, car companies don’t announce new car deals and incentives until a few days into a new month. However, for October 2011, many of the major automobile companies have already announced their October deals, which are for the most part extensions of their September deals. The deals come in the form of rebates, low-interest loans, [...]
Honda is Back in September With New Incentives
You can always count on Honda for new incentives every month. Such is the case for September — and October. However, the September deals from Honda are not so much brand new deals as a continuation of many (but not all) of the good deals from August. Actually, the deals are good for both September [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Big Deals on 2009 Ford Leftovers
As of this writing, most 2011 new-car models are now out and many dealers still have leftover 2010 models, for which some excellent deals can be had. However, Ford dealers still have leftover 2009 vehicles. Yes, that’s right — 2009 vehicles. They are currently offering huge discounts on those vehicles. The only catch is that [...]
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 [...]
Best October 2010 Car Deals
We’ll say right up front — the best deals this time of year are ALWAYS going to be on last year’s leftover models, as we’ve discussed in previous articles on this site. This is the time when new models are coming out and dealers still have old models to sell. Most dealers now have large [...]
Good Deals on Mercedes for October
Mercedes does not want to project the image of a discount car brand. Therefore, the incentives currently being offered for October 2009 are a bit subtle, but nevertheless good deals. They don’t offer direct factory-to-customer rebates but, instead, offer some very good low-APR loans and a number of very hefty hidden factory-to-dealer cash rebates, which [...]
