U.S. News & World Report Identifies the 7 Best Cars to Buy Now
Slow sales, significant incentives and good performance in the U.S. News Best Cars rankings make these cars and SUVs smart buys this October.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, today unveiled October's list of the Best Cars to Buy Now. To make U.S. News' monthly list, a car must meet three criteria: declining sales, strong manufacturer incentives and excellent scores in the U.S. News Best Cars rankings.
"Cash back deals are starting to be more widely available than in the past" says Jamie Page Deaton, executive editor of U.S. News Best Cars. "Given that you don't need a top credit score to qualify for a cash back deal, they're an easy way to lower the price of a new car. When you layer a cash back deal on top of a strong negotiating position, you can save as much as or more than you would with low-interest financing."
This month, U.S. News Best Cars has identified seven cars and SUVs that not only offer hefty savings but are also a pleasure to own.
