We’ve seen so many commercials advertising winter car sales in the past few weeks that even their theme music is becoming familiar. With only a few days left in 2013, dealers want to clear their lots of excess inventory so they can earn their end-of-year bonuses and avoid paying taxes on unsold vehicle stock. Manufacturers help by advertising holiday cash-back rebates, super financing discounts, and special lease deals. And that means great deals are available in the next few weeks for all new-car shoppers, no matter what make or model you’re interested in buying.
To help with your holiday season new-car shopping, we’ve assembled a list of current manufacturer incentives, rebates, and lease deals available between now and the end of the year. Browse the incentives below, the go to OpenRoad Lending to discover your opportunities to get a great deal on a new car before the New Year. Don’t forget to lock in your financing before stepping foot into the dealership as well to get best low rate car finance options available.
While some may expire as early as January 2, 2014, some of these incentives don’t expire until January 6th, 2014, to let you get a full weekend of shopping, so be sure to check the fine print at each manufacturer’s website. Also, some deals are regional, and the amount of potential savings can be determined by how well a particular model is selling, so don’t expect giant discounts on high-demand models. (And while this is a great time to get great deals on those remaining vehicles that have been lingering on dealer lots, don’t forget that the selection gets smaller the longer you wait.) And as always: Not all buyers may qualify, higher rates apply for buyers with lower credit ratings, incentives are subject to change, and dealers ultimately set the actual prices so check with your Certified Dealer for specific details.Acura is promoting its “Season of Reason” sales event with a low 0.9% APR finance offer for up to 60 months on most Acura models, as well as special 36-month lease offers with no down payment, no security deposit, no first month’s payment, and nothing due at signing on select Acura models.
