The Biggest Cash Rebate Increases
There are 9 vehicles that have had cash-back rebate increases of 100%, with the 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche being the largest increase - up to $5,000 cash back. The Avalanche is set to be discontinued in 2013, so this year is your final chance to get the unique pickup-truck/SUV combo vehicle.
In total, there are 28 vehicles that have had some sort of cash-back increase, including the 2012 Ford Focus, Explorer, and Escape.
All of these vehicles come with extra bonus cash such as loyalty (if you currently own the same brand vehicle), conquest (if you own a competing vehicle), and Trade Assistance (if you trade-in a vehicle at time of purchase).
