Toyota's Hidden Rebates This Month

Hidden rebates, also known as "dealer cash", are rebates given to dealers by the manufacturer whenever they sell or lease a certain model. They're very similar to customer cash-back rebates, but instead of YOU getting the rebate, the dealer gets to keep it - all while remaining hidden from the car buyer. 

The purpose of hidden dealer rebates is to help vehicles sell faster without the stigma of large discounts. In theory, dealers will pass the hidden bonus to consumers through a lower purchase price, but if you don't take the time to comparison shop multiple dealers, you may never get the discount.

Hidden rebates are difficult to figure out because they're not published anywhere - only dealers know about them. However, I've been doing a lot of data analysis on incentives, and by combining a few of my data sources, I think I may have uncovered hidden incentives available on Toyota vehicles this month.

Please keep in mind this information may be inaccurate, or may not be available in your region. These calculations are experimental and should be used for informational purposes only. What these hidden rebates suggest is that you should be able to negotiate the hidden rebate amount off MSRP as a minimum, and perhaps be able to negotiate the full hidden rebate off Invoice Price.

As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle, CarsDirect and RydeShopper to quickly see what kind of deals you can get on these vehicles in your region.
