35 Biggest Year-End Discounts
December 29, 2016
This week, I analyzed TrueCar pricing data to figure out which popular models have the biggest end-of-year discounts nationwide. (TrueCar has granted me special access to this data)
Most of the top deals are on leftover models, such as the 2016 Nissan Altima, with an average discount off MSRP of 23%. The 2017 model with the largest discount is the 2017 Hyundai Elantra, with an average discount of 19% off MSRP. These discounts include all major rebates and incentives.
The good news is these deals should all be readily available on TrueCar - no negotiation required.
