Best Bonus Incentives This Month
September 6, 2012
Most car shoppers are aware that manufacturers provide cash back rebates, finance, and lease deals to help sell their vehicles. What some don't realize is that they also provide bonus incentives.
These types of incentives are usually not advertised heavily. They include "Conquest Cash" if you currently own a competing vehicle, and "Trade Assistance", which is a bonus given to those who trade-in a vehicle at the time of purchase. There are also "Loan Bonuses" if you finance your purchase, and "Loyalty" bonuses if you currently own the same make of vehicle.
Here is a list of the largest bonus incentives available right now: Be sure to use the RydeShopper to get even larger discounts.
