Best Car Deals Around the Country
May 5, 2022
This week I did data analysis on average new car selling prices around the country to determine the average discount off MSRP for each model and trim level - showing you which trim level has the biggest average discount and in which location of the country you can get these deals.
The good news is these deals should all be readily available on TrueCar and RydeShopper in the corresponding location. I hope you find this data useful.

3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money
