The Biggest Hidden Incentives Right Now
August 18, 2011
It's no secret that car companies often give dealers "hidden" cash incentives to help sell cars that aren't moving off the lot.
Known as factory-to-dealer rebates, these incentives are very common on leftover models, or current ones that aren't selling well for whatever reason.
Although dealers can deploy the cash any way they want, it usually goes to customers in the form of price discounts.
When you add factory cash to normal dealer discounts, it's easy to get below-invoice deals.
Below are the best hidden dealer incentives available right now.
