Customer Incentives Increasing on Luxury Cars
Lexus has led the rise by boosting discounts on its cars by 54% this year and SUVs by 60%, according to Autodata Corporation. Mercedes and BMW have raised their customer incentives by 11% and 6.9% respectively.
All three brands are competing for the #1 best-selling luxury brand title this year. Lexus had held the title for 11 years in a row, but last year BMW took the crown. Lexus is determined to get it back.
Although Audi is not a contender in the race, they have also gotten into the game by raising incentives 18% this year. If you're considering buying or leasing a luxury car, the next several months offers you a great opportunity to get a great deal.
