Best Car Incentives for April
April 21, 2016
New car sales continue to be strong this year, but have definitely hit a plateau - which tends to lead to increased incentives as manufacturers battle it out for limited market share.
This week, TrueCar released a list of what they consider to be some of the better incentives available this month - for instance, the 2016 Ram 1500 has an average cash-back rebate of $4,367 across the country, while the Nissan Leaf comes with 0% financing for up to 72 months.
As always, if you want the very best deals, I highly recommend you use both TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise to see what local dealers are offering.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, Edmunds, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
