The Largest Hidden Dealer Cash Rebates
There's customer cash (which most car buyers are familiar with), and then there's dealer cash, which is hidden from the public.
Dealer cash is a rebate given directly to the dealer whenever they sell a qualified vehicle. It's just like customer cash, but instead of you getting it, the dealer pockets the money.
The reason why manufacturers provide dealer cash is because it helps them sell slow-moving vehicles without giving the impression of discounting.
The good news: Savy car shoppers can still get that dealer cash passed onto them through a heavily discounted purchase price. Here are the largest hidden dealer cash rebates currently available:
