The Best Summer Clearance Car Deals
August 21, 2014
Labor Day -- the unofficial end of the summer -- is just a little over a week away. And as is tradition, Labor Day weekend should be a pretty big sales event as dealerships are looking to move out their 2014 inventory to start making room for more 2015 vehicles.
If you're in the market for a new car right now, we have good news -- the sales have already begun! According to Forbes.com, dealerships are already starting their end-of-summer clearance sales, and there are lots of great deals to be had right now. To help you get started, Forbes has a list of what they consider the 15 best new car summer clearance deals going on right now, including the Audi A8, Cadillac CTS Sedan, Chevrolet Cruze, Fiat 500, and Nissan Pathfinder Deals range from potential financing cash back and discounts as high as $7,500 and financing as low as 0%, and leasing monthly payments as low as $99.
As always, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect for the best deal possible.
