Car Shopping This Memorial Day
If you have been looking for a new SUV, sedan or compact car earlier this year, you’ve most likely found that some models are either impossible to get or come at a price that does not fit your budget.
The good news is that after analyzing current national incentives focused on new car deals, Consumer Reports’ analysts found ten models worth considering that not only possess strong overall scores factoring in road-test performance, owner satisfaction, reliability, and safety; but also range in new incentive discounts 8-5% below current MSRP sticker prices for this top car buying holiday weekend.
