Top End of Year Car Incentives
December 31, 2015
New Years Eve is considered by many to be the best day out of the entire year to buy a car as dealerships want to do everything they can to boost their December and year-round sales. Check out Forbe's list of the 15 best year-end new car incentives on vehicles such as the 2015 BMW 6 Series, 2015 Ford Taurus, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2016 Hyundai Sonata.
And US News & World Report's Best Cars Blog offers up end-of-year car incentives that expire January 4, 2016. Vehicles on this list include the 2016 BMW 3 Series, 2015 Buick Encore, 2015 Nissan Altima, and 2016 Chevrolet Traverse.
And as always, I recommend TrueCar No Haggle, CarsDirect and RydeShopper for the best end-of-year deals in your local area.
