Great Deals on Discontinued Cars
October 4, 2012
Each year, a few models get discontinued, usually due to poor sales or a change in the model lineup.
This week, Cars.com gathered a list of 7 discontinued models still available on dealer lots with large discounts, plus two that are soon to see big changes in the coming model years (the Chevrolet Impala and Jeep Liberty).
If you're a frugal car shopper, you have the opportunity to get great deals on these models. But keep in mind, discontinued models tend to have lower resale value, so only consider buying if you will keep the vehicle for at least 6 years.

TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and NADAGuides are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price.
