Best New Car Deals in April
April 19, 2018
Each month, Consumer Reports releases a list of what they consider to be the best new car deals. The vehicles on the list usually have large incentives as well as a good score in Consumer Report's reliability and road tests.
Below, you'll find the full list. The 2018 Toyota Avalon Limited comes up on top with potential savings of 18% off MSRP. Other popular vehicles on the list include the 2018 Kia Forte LX, and 2018 Mazda3
As always, If you're shopping for a new car, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see what kind of deals are being offered in your area.

3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money
The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network
Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).Select Vehicle to Get Local Pricing
Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect
TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.Step 3 Complete my Checklist
