TrueCar.com Reports On Best End Of Year Car Deals For December 2012

dealsLast Few Weeks of December Expected to Have An Average Eight Percent Discount; New Car Discounts as High as 14 Percent on 2013 Models

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — It’s the last month of the year and dealerships around the country are looking to sell as much inventory as possible. TrueCar, an automotive pricing information and analysis company that creates a better buying experience for dealers and consumers, suggests car buyers take advantage of some amazing offers available on 2012 and 2013 models that can save consumers up to 14 percent off a new car along with some great lease and finance deals available.TrueCar.com, the only transparent publisher of real-time new and used (ClearBook.com) vehicle transaction data in the US market, has identified great luxury new car deals on vehicles including cash, finance and lease deals available nationwide.

Based on data from previous years, TrueCar is forecasting that December 29th, the last Saturday of December will be the best day in December to purchase a vehicle with an average discount of 8.2 percent from the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”). TrueCar also forecasts the discounted average through the rest of December to be eight percent.  The information below reflects the possible discount from MSRP, and includes manufacturer-to-consumer rebates, lease and finance deals.

“Manufacturers continue to offer attractive year-end incentives to help move metal off dealership lots,” said Jesse Toprak, Senior Analyst for TrueCar. “December has always been a good month to purchase or lease a luxury vehicle. This year, we’re also seeing some strong incentives on large trucks as well. Car buyers should always do their research before buying a car and consider getting a no-hassle price which helps to provide a pleasant car-buying experience at the dealership.”

Some examples of discounts available using TrueCar’s data of average national transactions on 2012 and 2013 models include:
