CHICAGO, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Overall incentive spending in May turned out to be the second highest of the year at approximately $2,680 per vehicle. Significant vehicle incentives and lease deals are expected to continue at a high rate throughout June and most of the summer, which means it's a great time to buy for consumers.
"Manufacturers are still seeing relatively high inventory levels and are anxious to move metal," said Jesse Toprak, chief analyst for Cars.com, the leading online resource for buying and selling new and used cars and a comprehensive digital marketing resource for car dealerships and manufacturers. "Consumers will get the most value on any large-vehicle category this summer. The most significant inventory surplus is in the large-truck category, and as a result, we are seeing generous incentives from manufacturers and dealer discounting for vehicles such as the Silverado and F-Series. The popular mid-size sedan segment, which has become extremely competitive, is also full of models with relatively high incentives."
Toprak explains that we continue to be in the middle of a perfect storm for attractive leases, created by high resale values and historically low interest rates. "Consumers can get a lot of car for their money if they take advantage of some of the best lease deals in recent history," said Toprak.
