The Largest Hidden Cash Rebates Available Now
These are cash-back rebates given to dealers (not consumers) by the manufacturer in order to help sell slow-moving models.
These hidden rebates are generally kept secret - as the name implies, but that doesn't stop certain dealers from leaking the information.
Consumers aren't supposed to know about these since it leads to lower transaction prices.
Dealers can use these hidden cash-back incentives any way they see fit - but usually, they will pass the rebate on to the consumer.
Keep in mind these rebates are mostly on leftover models or ones that are less-popular. The largest ones are actually on leftover 2010 models!
Many car shoppers aren't interested in these vehicles, but if YOU are, then you're in luck because you should be able to negotiate a killer deal.
