Best Car Deals for February 2010 - Incentives, Rebates, and Leases

Sales of new cars typically slow down in January as car makers and dealers fully digest the end-of-year sales blitz. With sales expected to decrease 25% compared to December '09, car makers may be getting ready to raise incentives and offer some great deals to kickstart sales again in February 2010.

February 2010 is also a good time to start looking at new models that were introduced in the fall of 2009. It typically takes 4 to 6 months for supply to catch up with demand on these newly introduced models. Models that were first introduced in August or September of last year will typically be selling much lower now than when they were first up for sale.

As for specific makes, Chrysler is still having a hard time with sales and GM's discontinued brand Saab has nearly a year's worth of inventory on the lots. On the flip side of the coin, Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru are on fire, having increased their sales by nearly 30% compared to last year.

In February 2010, you may also find some incredible deals on leftover 2009 models. Unfortunately, most of the popular vehicles have already been sold and the ones leftover don't have the best options or colors. If you do intend to buy a leftover model, your best bets will be with the Cadillac STS, Mazda 6, Chevrolet Aveo, Lincoln MKS, and Chevrolet Cobalt.
