Re-activateFollowing "How to buy a car in today's market" and "Car-buying tips for getting the best deal today," we present our Best New Car Deals for February 2009, just in time for President's Day weekend. Each year, this holiday weekend can be a time for great deals. Beyond the typical drive to move the iron, this year many dealers have too much inventory and automakers are anxious to keep the factories running. These factors put the car-buyer in the driver's seat for driving the deal.
Below we highlight 2009-model vehicles that meet our stringent requirements to be Recommended, factoring test scores, safety, and reliability. We feel these are good cars at good prices.
The Consumer Reports Bottom Line Price and complete cost breakdown is available in our New Car Price Reports, including hidden dealer incentives, for all models.
