  July 4th Sales/Incentives Extended

shutterstock_193396076-july-4th-salejpg (1)

As always, car dealers view holidays as a time when they go into volume- mode.  July 4th is a rare opportunity for them to start a new month on a high note.   

We saw HUGE incentive enhancements at the end of June, which was also the end of the second quarter of 2019.  Almost without exception, we saw those incentives extended until this Saturday July 6th, and some all the way to Monday the 8th, giving you more time to get a bargain on a new set of wheels, and giving the auto industry a boost to start the second half of the year.  After this round of incentives ends this week, the likelihood is that incentives will drop.  That almost always happens at the start of a new quarter.

Dealers will be very aggressive this week on trade values, pricing, and financing, so if you can get out and shop, the deals at our dealer affiliates will be very good.  If you have a trade-in, the market is sky high, and every dealer tells me they’d much rather give too much for a trade-in than go to auction. Remember, every car turns a year older in August, and they drop in value.

Go directly to any of our terrific dealer partners by clicking on Certified Dealers, near the top at CarProUSA.com, then pick your closest area. Most of our dealers will be open on July 4th and they will take super care of you!
