My top 7 tips for DEALS ON WHEELS this  Memorial Day weekend.

2006 BMW 750il Every car dealership, is boasting BIG Memorial Day new or used car sales events through-out Las Vegas, but are there really deals out there and if so, how good are they?

The truth be told, the hidden gems of Memorial Day weekend car sales are in the rebates , incentives and inventory you can find as the annual Summer Car Selling Season begins…

Here are my top 7 picks for “Deals on Wheels” this summer.

  1. Ford, Jaguar, GM, KIA, Hyundai and Chrysler have the inventory and the best rebates or LOW interest rates on NEW CARS, right now.
  2. Look for GREAT LEASE SPECIALS: $169.00 on a FORD FIESTA or $199.00 on a KIA FORTE to $599 on a Jaguar XF, where ample inventory gives you great color, and feature selection with minimal down payment to get in the game.
  3. TRADE-IN’s are worth all the money right now, SO ACT QUICK, because the used car trade-in values are going to burst by Labor DAY.
  4. LUXURY brands: USED CAR SALES of BMW and Mercedes Benz are showing signs of softening prices, so jump on the certified pre-owned BMW 3 series or Mercedes Benz E350 or C350.Some dealers are offering factory-backed
  5. USED CAR LEASES on luxury models. Lease a 2008 Porsche Boxster for $499.00 a month!  Get the ride without the budget-busting payment. Ask around, only certified, branded dealerships offer these programs with full factory certified warranties.
  6. Check the interest rate incentives from the car makers. 0% for 60 mos. is available on many models from Kia to Jaguar! Certified pre-owned vehicles often have rates as low or lower than the NEW CAR factory programs, again, only offered through the branded dealership.
  7. Early lease terminations. Many car companies are offering 3 mos. waivers to get you out of your lease now and into the new model.  It’s worth doing, especially if your leased vehicle is over-miles or is a “wanted” car, sought after in the used car market.
