Best New Car Incentives, Lease Deals for July 2017
July is when the summer sales really heat up, and this July there's an oversupply of vehicles on dealer lots due to an increase in production and drop in sales, and manufacturers are offering bigger discounts to move them off the lots, especially over the 4th of July holiday.
Car manufactuers are always paranoid about losing market share - this is a good opportunity to get deals. Car dealerships are also desperate to get rid of the remaining leftover inventory as soon as possible. Ford is testing different incentive packages after suffering big sales losses, and many car makers have hidden rebates that result in as much as 28% off MSRP (FIAT, Chrysler).
2018 models have been slowly appearing in showrooms, which means better deals on the 2017 and even 2016 models.
The average incentive per vehicle is currently around $3,500. There's some great deals and large rebates on popular models such as the Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Kia Forte, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac ATS, and Chevrolet Malibu.
Brands such as Hyundai, GM, and BMW continue to offer a slew of lease deals and 0% financing.
You can find several vehicles with leases starting at under $300 per month with $0 down payment.
(Note: incentives can vary greatly by region; these figures may not be accurate in your local area. Always verify with your local dealers)
