Heavy Rebates Impact IntelliChoice.com's Best New Car Deals for May : Top deals include the Hyundai Sonata among large cars and the Nissan Quest in
Shopping Deals, Online Rebates and Coupons
CAMPBELL, Calif. (Business Wire EON) May 13, 2008 -- "The cars that we have identified as best deals for consumers are changing from month to month largely due to all of the new cash on the hood we are seeing," said James Bell, publisher and editor of IntelliChoice.com. "There are some amazing rebates on some larger cars, all SUVs and many trucks. Rising gas prices and reluctant consumers are really starting to impact the industry."
"The thing to know about auto rebates is that they can fluctuate heavily from month to month and week to week," said Bell. "Today's car buyer is wise to check out the most recent rebates before making any decisions. For example, there are vehicles that we rarely see on our Best Deals list, such as the Isuzu Ascender with a $7,000 rebate this month, and the Nissan Quest minivan with a $3,500 rebate. Plus, the rebates we are seeing on certain full-size trucks are extraordinary. Note that the Dodge Ram wins all but one of May's full size truck categories."
Bell also noted that with gas prices so high, the Best Deals for May include a who's who of well-known small cars, but even smaller cars are not immune to the car rebate factor. Bell said, "In the subcompact class, the MINI Cooper Hatchback beats the Toyota Yaris Hatchback because there is no rebate on the Yaris."
IntelliChoice.com's "Best Deals of the Month" identify new cars, trucks, and SUVs with the best ownership cost value in 33 respective classes. Selections are based on current car pricing, market conditions and the lowest national manufacturer consumer new car rebate. In addition, IntelliChoice.com uses the latest information from numerous automotive resources to evaluate what it costs to buy, own and operate each new model-year trim line over a five-year basis.
