If you’re in
the market to
buy a new car this summer, we suggest you
shop the current manufacturer incentives to see if a particular offer
makes sense for you. Manufacturers typically offer
financing deals in
the form of
cash back (that can well placed toward a down payment) or
low financing rates for a defined term; while leasing deals usually
offer a defined monthly payment for specific term with a defined down
payment. These offers can
open your eyes to new models and help you get
into a new car with less money down or lower monthly payments.
Top Finance Deals on New Cars – June 2012

Coming
off its second-highest sales month with 1,680 units, since launching in
December 2010, the Chevrolet Volt left its competitors in the dust in
May outselling both the
Toyota Prius Plug-in (1,068 units) and
Nissan’s all-electric Leaf
(510 units). The best month for the Volt so far was in March 2012, the
same month the Volt became eligible for HOV lanes in California, where
according to
the Washington Post, one in four Volts was registered in
the first quarter of 2012. A combination of high
gas prices and sweet
financing deals like this one should keep Volt sales strong in
California and growing in other states.
