Nissan Offering Some of the Best Incentives This Month
And unlike Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai, they seem to have plenty of inventory to choose from.
This tends to result in big discounts on top of the already large incentives.
For example, you can currently buy the mid-sized 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5S for about the same price as a compact Hyundai Elantra GLS.
The Altima's MSRP is a few thousand more than the Elantra, but there's a lot of wiggle room in the price - and most Elantras are selling close to MSRP.
Nissan is offering just about every type of incentive including cash back rebates, low financing rates, and lease deals.
Here's a sampling of what's available - good through the end of November.
