Cars With the Largest Incentives Increases
The average increase was 8.13%, but Infiniti increased theirs by a whopping 64% while Lexus added nearly 26% in additional spiffs.
The climate for car buyers is getting more favorable. Sales last month were decent, but didn't meet analysts' expectations. With several newly redesigned models coming out this fall, incentives on the leftover models are sure to increase.
