To make sure the vehicles we highlight represent smart buys, we concentrated on models with a strong Overall Score, factoring road-test performance, owner satisfaction, reliability, and safety. (Learn more about CR car ratings here.)
Below, we list potential savings and negotiation target prices. The cars are in descending order based on the percent of potential savings. The savings span from 6 to 18 percent off the original sticker price. Actual dollar-amount savings can range from $11,277 to $2,077 off. Actual savings will depend on local supply and demand. We omitted some higher-priced models from Audi, Cadillac, and Volvo that also promise significant savings.
All nationwide incentives featured here are good until at least March 3, 2025. Similar discounts can be found on other versions in addition to those spotlighted.
Armed with this information, shoppers can negotiate a budget-friendly price on these cars, or use a convenient service like Consumer Reports’ Build & Buy.
