Top 10 Deeply Discounted 2008 Cars


Top 10 New-Car Discounts

* Chrysler 300C. The full-sized sedan comes with either a $3,000 rebate or financing ranging from zero percent to 4.9 percent.

* Dodge Ram 1500. Dodge's full-sized pickup truck carries either a $5,000 rebate or zero percent to 1.9 percent financing.

* Ford Explorer. Once the most popular sport utility vehicle, the Explorer carries rebates from $3,000 to $4,000 and financing from 0.9 percent to 6.9 percent. Mercury Grand Marquis. A large sedan that can carry six people and their luggage, it can be had with a rebate of $5,500 to $6,500 or financing of zero percent to 3.9 percent.

* Cadillac DTS. The large sedan in the Cadillac lineup is not as quick a seller as the new, smaller CTS. So, GM is offering a $3,000 rebate or 5.9 percent to 7.9 percent financing.

* GMC Envoy. This midsized SUV has been packed with a $3,000 rebate or 2.9 percent to 5.9 percent financing.

* Nissan Pathfinder. Nissan, which is not enjoying the same sales success as some other Japanese manufacturers, is offering deals on this SUV that include rebates of $2,250 to $3,250 or 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent financing.

* BMW 7 Series. While not offering direct-to-customer rebates on its luxury 7 Series sedan, BMW is giving dealers $3,500 to $5,000 in incentives. Such incentives should be a part of a buyer's price negotiations.

* Land Rover LR2. Land Rover is offering a $3,000 incentive on this SUV.

* Lexus RX 350. Lexus is being a little stingier than some other manufacturers when it comes to incentives, but is offering dealers as much as $2,000 on the RX 350.

Yeah, but I think it's interesting that it's only the price that is keeping the 7er sales down. For Mercedes this isn't a good trend. If the F01's price is right, maybe it might be able to overtake the S-Class in sales for a longer period than the E65 did in some markets (US, Germany).

5/9 are American cars & 3 of them (300C, Ram & Explorer) are among their most-favorite (& best selling as well) ...!

* Nissan Pathfinder: Since it was launched with a big V8, sales were badly hurt. Even with a V6, it was bad on gas ...!

* BMW 7 Series: Let's just say, some people are waiting for the next big lady with money & 24" Asantis ...!

* Land Rover LR2: I think, the credit goes to holy Ford ...!

* Lexus RX 350: Just like new Is, Gs & Ls, they should stop rebadging the trucks too, Rx is Jdm Harrier ...!

Price isn't the problem, age is. Price is the only thing keeping 7-Series up at the moment.
