Hidden rebates, also known as "dealer cash", are bonus incentives given to dealers by the manufacturer each time they sell a qualified vehicle. They're very similar to customer cash-back rebates, but instead of YOU THE CUSTOMER getting the rebate, the dealer gets to keep it.
The purpose of hidden dealer rebates is to help unpopular vehicles sell faster without the stigma of large discounts. In theory, dealers will pass the hidden bonus to consumers through a lower purchase price, but if you don't take the time to comparison shop multiple dealers, you may never get the additional discount.
The following is a list of vehicles with hidden dealer rebates of up to $5,000. In addition to the hidden dealer rebates, some also come with traditional cash-back rebates as well. In order to maximize your chances of getting the hidden dealer rebate, I recommend you use the free CarWoo Deal Finder.
