The Best New Car Deals Right Now
The change of the seasons means cool weather and even cooler incentives to purchase a vehicle. Here are our favorite new car deals right now.
Car Deals Are Back.
Ah, autumn. Crisp leaves, pumpkin spice everything, holidays to look forward to, and maybe a new car to buy, too? If you’re in the market for a new car deal, slower-selling models are the ones to look at now: Deals are very real right now, there are incentives to be had, and new cars are more fun and interesting than ever.
There are many ways to save on a new car. Cash-back incentives, low lease payments or negotiating down from the MSRP. Low-interest financing may also be available, either from your the dealership, an auto finance company like Capital One or from your bank or credit union.
Many dealers are still charging a premium over MSRP for in-demand vehicles, but if you are on a budget or just want a fair fair deal, looking at models with deep inventories can be the smart way to shop.
Here are some great new cars with larger-than-average inventories to help you navigate through the sea of in-demand, full-price vehicles. Keep in mind that incentives and discounts may not apply to all trims, all buyers may not qualify and noted deals may not be available in all states or at all dealerships.
But at a time when interest rates are at a 20 year high, every little bit of money we can save is a welcome thing.

Jeep Cherokee
Jeep loyalists might be surprised to hear of a surplus of vehicles from their beloved brand, but it looks like base prices have crept up as the company has become increasingly competitive. One of the effects of this situation is that Grand Cherokees and Wranglers may be upstaging the Jeep Cherokee. But this is a great time to grab this Grand Cherokee mini-me; the company has announced they are going to phase out the Cherokee. The good news is that you’ll get lots of little luxuries you wouldn’t necessarily expect, or object to, and a $1,000 cash back bonus if you qualify.
Why We Love It:
- This midsize SUV is a classic, born in the 70s, and fitted with all the best tech possible
- All-weather and all-terrain capabilities

One Last Thing about New Car Deals
With all the inventory, dealers should also be more negotiable on price, offer better trade-in prices and perhaps more attractive financing, in addition to the deals and incentives. The competition is fierce, there are many new cars headed to their lots and the end of the sales year is nearing. So it only makes sense.
But don’t forget – there can be hidden fees, not all buyers or car models may qualifiy for incentives and not all dealers may participate. So do your research, ask a lot of questions and shop around; if you’re hunting for a deal, there’s one out there for you.
Happy shopping!
