Best Memorial Day Car Deals
May 24, 2018
The Memorial Day holiday weekend is usually a good time to get a deal on a new car, and this year is especially great since auto sales are slightly down and incentives are up. Manufacturers and dealers are in a race to outsell the competition, which means there are plenty of lease deals and cash back offers available.
CarsDirect has been tracking the Memorial Day deals offered by various manufacturers (see below). There are 11 manufacturers offering special bonuses this year.
If you're in the market for a new car, make sure to use TrueCar No Haggle, CarsDirect and NADAGuides to compare the best deals being offered in your local area.
