Why CarDeals Newsletter?
New car buyers can save money by
purchasing their new vehicle while manufacturers are offering
rebates and other special incentives.
CarDeals gives you all the facts about
the two different types of programs run by car manufacturers
that can help you get the lowest possible sales price on the
new car you want to buy.
Factory-to-dealer incentives:
Many manufacturers periodically run factory-to-dealer cash
incentive programs to encourage sales. These programs are
usually "secret," unadvertised to the public. The
dealers can pass the cash along to the customer if they
choose, or they can use it for advertising, employee rewards,
or just pocket it as profit. In negotiating with a dealer, it
will help you to know if the dealer has this
"secret" incentive cash available for additional
discounts to you.
Customer rebates: Car makers
sometimes offer rebates directly to the customer. You can get
the rebate as a check in the mail after you purchase or you
can have the dealer credit your rebate immediately as a
discount to reduce the sales price of your car (and thus the
amount of sales tax you'll pay).
