10 Best New Car Deals for September
With car sales slowing, inventory building up, and incentives increasing - there are some great deals to be had. Kelley Blue Book (KBB) put together a list of what they consider the best lease and cash-back deals this month on popular and well-rated vehicles.
Lease deals include monthly payments as low as $199 per month with $2,499 down on vehicles such as the 2018 Acura ILX. And you can get as much as $4,500 cash back when purchasing vehicles such as the 2017 Ford Focus. KBB's top 10 deals for September are below.
To maximize your deal, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect
to see what your local region is offering.
