5 Great Car Deals

Let's set aside broader economic concerns for just a moment and revel in some goodness: New cars are going cheap. With the market full of offers like zero-percent financing, big cash back and low-payment leases, it's tough to remember a time when so many cars were so heavily incentivized. It might not be the best time to run out and add a weekend convertible to the household fleet, but if your lease is up or your warranty is expiring or you just plain need something new, you have an unprecedented number of great deals to choose from. If you're concerned about qualifying for financing in the midst of the credit crunch -- and even if you're not -- you can always apply online before visiting a dealer. Note: If you see a deal you like on a car you want, be sure to first check the manufacturer's website to make sure the offer is available in your area and to review the details.
