The Largest Hidden Incentives for October
Cash back rebates are common, but not all manufacturers like to use them. Instead, some prefer giving dealers hidden incentives so that the vehicles aren't perceived as being discounted.
The dealers will use some or all of the money to discount the purchase price of the vehicle.
These kickbacks are not advertised, but aggressive negotiators should have no problem taking advantage of them. (Just make sure to use our car negotiation guide)
Here are the largest hidden incentives available for the month of October. We've also included additional incentives available for each car.
