Best New Car Deals in April
April 19, 2018
Each month, Consumer Reports releases a list of what they consider to be the best new car deals. The vehicles on the list usually have large incentives as well as a good score in Consumer Report's reliability and road tests.
Below, you'll find the full list. The 2018 Toyota Avalon Limited comes up on top with potential savings of 18% off MSRP. Other popular vehicles on the list include the 2018 Kia Forte LX, and 2018 Mazda3
As always, If you're shopping for a new car, I recommend you use TrueCar and Edmunds Price Promise to quickly see what kind of deals are being offered in your area.

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.California Residents - Important:
There is a new online car buying service called Roadster, available only to California residents, which I highly recommend you try - especially if you hate the stress of haggling with a car salesman. They provide an expert concierge who negotiates the price of the car and delivers it to your home with zero hassle - you never have to interact with a dealership. Here is my in-depth review of Roadster and why I recommend it.- Gregg Fidan
