We’ve said it already, but car sales on the Fourth of July don’t exactly conjure fireworks in the minds of dealers — typically, in fact, Independence Day is one of the lowest sales holidays of the year. There are a few reasons for that, but the residual effects of expiring incentives from the end of June means that this first weekend in July probably won’t offer a whole lot in terms of rebates or other offers, either. That means that in order to get a good deal, you’re going to have to do some legwork of your own.
That’s what this page is for. Check out the links below for new cars on dealer lots to investigate as well as ways to make the most of your car-buying experience.
