The Best Incentives Among Mid-size Cars

Mid-size cars are the most popular segment right now among car shoppers. The list includes the #1 selling car in America - the Toyota Camry.

This is also the most competitive segment, which means there's always some good incentives available. This year, the competition is really heating up due to several redesigns being introduced.

The leftover models have cash-back rebates as high as $3,000 - lease deals as low as $189/month - and extra cash bonuses as high as $1,810.

I created the following chart to make it easy for you to compare all the current incentives side-by-side. Please note that incentives will vary depending on where you live, so these may not be available in your local area.

Be sure to use the RydeShopper to see the exact rebates in your area and take full advantage of these offers.

3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money

The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:

Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network

Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).

Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect

TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.

Step 3 Complete my Checklist
