Here are my picks for the top 2012 Memorial Day holiday car sales rebates and incentives. As I have mentioned before, the more in demand cars have little to NO rebates or offers on them. For example, forget a discount or rebate on a Toyota Prius hybrid. LEXUS has up to $750 off many of their hybrids, but inventory is slim. The best deal out there if you need a minivan is the KIA SEDONA with $2500 rebate money. If you need an  mid-size SUV, look at the MAZDA CX-7, being discontinued, but still a great ride for the money. KIA: $500.00-$1000 on most of the cars. Loyalty and competitive rebate avail.  .9%-2.9% interest rates for qualified buyers. BEST BUY $2500 rebate on a SEDONA MINIVAN Hyundai: $500.00-$1000 with big money (up to $3000) on Genesis and Equus sedans. ) and 1.9% interest rates for qualified buyers. ACURA: from $500 – $2000 on various models and rates as low as .9% for qualified buyers. Great lease deals on TSX, MDX and TL. AUDI: from $1000-$3000 in rebates or interest rates as low as 1% for qualified buyers. JAGUAR XF & XJ: Competitive, Loyalty rebates and up to $5200 in various incentives. Lease deals start at $499/mth for qualified buyers. 4yr/50k service included. JEEP: from $500 on Wranglers to $3000 on Liberty. $1000 on Grand Cherokee and 0% financing for qualified buyers. NISSAN: The LEAF has $a 500 rebate, if they are sold in your state that is a huge deal! Otherwise they have rebates up to $3000 on 2012’s and $4k on some 2011 leftovers. Interest rates as low as 0% for qualified buyers. MAZDA: The Mazda 3 has a great rebate or interest rate as low as 0% for qualified buyers. HONDA:  Interest rates as low as .9% and some special incentives of $500-up to $2000 to the dealer for advertising support. Lease deals are a better way to go, but you will find short supplies of popular models and color/option combinations. TOYOTA: The best deal here is the $1000 or 0% on Corolla. The other cars scale from $500 to to $1000 on the more expensive models. Nothing on Prius. They do offer 2 year free basic service at no charge. VW: NO REBATES  The best you can hope for here is a 0% to 1.9% rate for qualified buyers. Disclaimer: Not on my Top 10, but they do make popular cars so I threw them on the list for information purposes only.
