Most Discounted New Cars to Buy Right Now

New Car Deals Below MSRP

Earlier this fall, we’ve reported on some of the best deals highlighted by Consumer Reports analysts on multiple car make and models that include:

• Compact SUVs that qualify as winners and losers

• What's new to be found in today’s small pickup trucks

• The best midsized SUVs under $35,000 with many of the key safety features consumers are looking for in a new car.

More recently, we’ve reported also on the best nationwide incentives for models recommended by Consumer Reports regarding their best new-car deals and best new SUV deals.

Today, however, there is a new listing focused on MSRP sticker prices and what people paid recently that were standouts this month consisting mostly of luxury sedans and SUVs.

Armed with the most recent listings of what sold when and for how much, adds to your arsenal as you negotiate with a car dealer using your fact-based research; and, the knowledge that the trade-in value of your used car is an even more important bargaining chip this year than it was before the pandemic.
