Cars With the Biggest Hidden Rebates

The manufacturer offers the hidden rebate to dealers as a way of helping them sell or lease cars.
The rebate is not offered on all makes and models - it might be offered one month, and not another, and the amount can vary widely, depending on how badly the manufacturer wants to help sell a particular model vehicle.
Dealers can use marketing support money almost any way they want if it helps sell cars. However, most if not all is given to customers as a price discount. When a dealer kicks in this discount, customers can walk away with a terrific deal. This is one way dealers can sell cars at "below invoice price."
