Cars With the Biggest Discounts
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.
