Consumers cash in on Labor Day deals
Cars.com reports top August new-car incentives, lease offers

CHICAGO, Aug. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Increased incentives and strong lease deals on nearly every type of vehicle make Labor Day weekend one of the best times to buy a car this year.

"As summer draws to a close, manufacturers will be heavily discounting inventory to make room for new 2015 model year vehicles," said Jesse Toprak, chief analyst for Cars.com, the leading car shopping site and a comprehensive digital marketing resource for car dealerships and manufacturers. "As a result, consumers can take advantage of some outstanding new-car deals. Large SUVs and full-size trucks offer some of the steepest discounts, but shoppers will also be happy to find great offers on select luxury and hybrid models throughout Labor Day sales weekend."
