Best New Car Deals for July 4th
Consumer Reports has expanded its Best New Car Deals list to feature a full roster of CR-Recommended vehicles that offer significant savings. Continuously updated, this special section features several models spotlighted for their combination of savings and ratings. We think of it as good deals on great cars. Afterall, a great price isn't necessarily a good deal if the vehicle doesn't measure up.
There is a second page with an exhaustive listing of discounted, CR-Recommended models. Right now, two of the biggest deals offer potential savings of 20-percent off the sticker price of a Volvo XC70 2.5 and 21-percent off the Volvo S60 2.5T. Several other models from Chevrolet, GMC, and Toyota trail close behind.
As the report shows, not all the savings are obvious to consumers. For example, Acura is offering a $3,500 incentive to dealers on the 2007 Acura RL with Navigation, meaning this luxury sedan has more negotiation room than it may appear. The Consumer Reports Bottom Line Price factors hidden dealer incentives and holdbacks, in addition to rebates and invoice price, to identify a good starting point for your negotiations. Right now on the RL, the Bottom Line Price shows a total potential savings of up to $9,188.
Best New Car Deals is an essential tool for new-car shoppers, with periodic updates ensuring the latest guidance and pricing information.
