Best Memorial Day Car Deals
May 25, 2017
The Memorial Day holiday weekend is usually a great time to get a deal on a new car, and this year is especially great since auto sales are down and incentives are way up. Manufacturers and dealers are in a race to outsell the competition, which means there are plenty of lease deals and cash back offers available.
Consumer Reports and Edmunds.com took a look at all the deals available right now and narrowed down the top deals available now through Memorial Day weekend (see below)- with potential savings of more than $10,000 off MSRP. Vehicles on the list include popular models such as the 2017 Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, and Ford Escape.
If you're in the market for a new car, make sure to use TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise to compare the best deals being offered in your local area.
