Cars With the Biggest Discounts
January 3, 2013
The 15 best deals have been chosen by TrueCar.com, which has access to real price data from around the country. The vehicles on the list sell for as much as 15% off MSRP - and that's the average price. Being a RealCarTips reader, you should expect to do much better than average. If you're considering any of the following vehicles, I recommend using the RydeShopper to get the best deal.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, CarsDirect, and Ryde Shopper 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. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
