Most people assume that the only way to lower the price of a new car is through negotiations with a salesperson or dealership. However, if you already own a car, you may be eligible to a loyalty rebate on your next purchase.
Loyalty rebates are available for returning customers only and dealerships often require proof that you own the same make as the one you wish to purchase. For example, if you own an Audi, then you can potentially secure an additional cash, finance or lease incentive and/or a reduced interest rate for leasing or financing on a new Audi. These loyalty rebates are discounts offered by automakers to not only help steer consumers away from the competition, but also encourage and reward customers who continue to stay loyal to their brand.
Relying on loyalty rebates can help save you hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars. These rebates typically take the form of stackable cash incentives and low-interest financing or leasing.
The best kind of loyalty rebate is arguably the stackable cash incentive because it can be combined with rebates already available to regular customers. For instance, if a regular cash purchaser is entitled to a $1,000 cash rebate, a $500 loyalty incentive would boost their total savings to $1,500. These incentives are usually available to cash, finance and lease customers.
Low-interest financing or leasing is an incentive offered by manufacturers to finance and lease customers, with interest rates that range from zero to five per cent. Not every returning customer is eligible for this kind of offer, however, since it requires good credit score. Additionally, in many cases, low-interest financing cannot be combined with other incentives.
Now that you have a better understanding of what loyalty rebates are and what types are available for consumers, here are the best loyalty rebates on new cars this December.
