As Labor Day weekend approaches, we wanted to give car shoppers one more rundown of this weekend’s incentives – this time for luxury makes. Many luxury shoppers choose to lease cars, so we're breaking down both the best lease deals and the best deals for financing a car purchase. Some of the top lease deals can be found at Acura, Audi, Lexus and Lincoln dealerships. Acura has an event going on that is especially noteworthy, offering $0 due at signing and the first month’s lease payment... Detailt »»

Mercury’s Inventory Shrinks as Brand Nears End

Since our last report , Mercury’s inventory on Cars.com has notched down slightly as the brand prepares for its disbanding by the end of the year.  Cars.com’s national inventory for Mercury has dropped nearly 9% in the three weeks since we last reported on it. There are 4,611 vehicles available online. A greater portion of the inventory is now 2010 and 2011 models.  This isn’t stale inventory, either, just in case you think dealerships aren’t updating their Mercury inventory on Cars.com.... Detailt »»

Ready for Labor Day Car Shopping? Ten Impressive 2010 Deals

Summer is one of the best times of the year to shop for a great deal on a new car, and that window usually lasts until Labor Day. Most manufacturers are trying to offload their previous model-year inventory in preparation for the next model-year units that are headed to dealer lots. And unlike autumn, when inventory levels of 2010 models may be low, many 2010s are still available.  To help you sort through the best deals, we’ve compiled a list of 10 of the best remaining cash and loan incentives. ... Detailt »»

Ford to Give Fiesta Buyers $50 Gift Card for Delays

Because of shipping delays accompanying the 2011 Ford Fiesta, Ford says it has issued gift cards as a thank you/apology.  Buyers who’ve waited longer than a month for their Fiestas have been or will be issued a MasterCard gift card worth $50. Only buyers who already reserved and paid deposits on their Fiesta will get the card, so don't run out and expect one if you test-drive a Fiesta today.  The delay centers around a hurricane that hit Mexico, where the Fiesta is built, and it's... Detailt »»

Ford Offers $7,500 Cash Back on 2010 F-150

It’s one of those model year closeout deals that sound too good to be true when Mike Rowe is yapping about it for the 10th time during prime-time commercials. But this time, it’s an advertised $6,500 in cash back and $1,000 in bonus cash if you finance through Ford Credit.   Of course, there are hoops. Not every F-150 gets the full discount. For the full rebate price, you need to buy an XLT trim level, which starts at $25,505, and add the Sync/Chrome/Tow Package. That brings the total lowest... Detailt »»

Short Supply Causes Some Dealers to Beg for Cars

During the recession, as demand fell for new cars, dealerships across America fought hard battles to sell down their bloated inventories, which ultimately was great for car buyers. Now dealerships are no longer fighting for every sale but for more inventory from the automakers, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The recession took its toll on many dealerships. Since early 2009, GM’s dealership body has shrunk by 25%, eliminating or consolidation of 2,064 former dealerships. Chrysler is... Detailt »»

Kia Offering Low Lease, APR on 2011 Sportage

The redesigned 2011 Kia Sportage compact SUV is just hitting dealers — Cars.com is showing more than 1,500 in its national new-car inventory — and early adopters will get decent deals on the model. Kia and Hyundai have been known to put cash back and other incentives on brand-new models in the past to generate early buzz and add market share. While the Sportage doesn't have any cash-back offers, there is a low lease offer of $229 a month for 36 months with $2,499 due at signing. The offer... Detailt »»

No Big Incentives for Dying Mercury

If you thought the announcement that Ford will cease production of new Mercury cars and SUVs by the end of 2010 would lead to lavish incentives, you’d be wrong, at least as of today. Mercury’s current incentives, which are good through Oct. 4, include 0% financing for 60 months on the 2010 Milan plus $1,000 in bonus cash. This is a good deal, but it is not a fire sale. ... Detailt »»

Suzuki Gives You $250 If You Don’t Buy a Kizashi

Incentives are an interesting game. Automakers use them to entice buyers into a showroom with the hope that a little extra money off the MSRP will get you to sign the paperwork and drive off the lot. They usually don’t pay you to buy another automaker’s car. But that’s what Suzuki is doing with a new offer on its Kizashi sedan.   Suzuki will give $250 to anyone who test-drives a Kizashi and then buys a competing sedan within three days. You have to show proof that you bought a 2010 Honda... Detailt »»

Chevy Incentives Roll On

You might hear stories that automakers aren’t offering lucrative incentives this summer like in past years, but if you’ve been following our blog, you know there are plenty of incentives out there for July . Chevrolet is not shying away from big cash-back offers, either. Not only is there up to $5,000 cash back on 2010 Silverado and Avalanche pickup trucks, but $4,000 cash back on the Impala and the sub-$20,000 HHR. Zero percent financing for up to 72 months is also available on many models.... Detailt »»
