Chevrolet Offering Huge Incentives Until January 3

December 16, 2010

As the year comes to an end, automakers are piling on cash incentives to move remaining 2010 model year inventory - and some of the 2011 models too.

Take Chevrolet. The outgoing 2010 Aveo gets $2,500 cash back, which, proportional to its $11,965 MSRP, is a nice chunk of change.

The more popular 2010 Malibu gets $3,500, and the 2011 Malibu gets $2,000. Chevrolet's large SUVs, crossovers and trucks get between $2,000 and $5,000 cash back.

The new Cruze, Equinox and Camaro, which continue to sell like hotcakes, don't have any cash-back deals.

The Equinox and Cruze do have some attractive lease deals, though: lease a Cruze for $159 a month for 39 months.

Almost all 2010 and 2011 models get attractive financing options between 0% and 3.9% for up to 72 months.

All current incentives expire Jan. 3.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers

TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and Ryde Shopper 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.
