New Car Rebates and Incentives: September 29, 2011

September is over in just a few short days, but with a number of automakers stretching their rebates and incentives into first part of October you should have at least this weekend to check out a few more great deals on a brand new car or truck.

Our list begins with the 2011 Toyota Tundra CrewMax full-size pickup, which can be had with a zero percent financing plus $500 cash back offer or a total of $2,500 cash back. The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan follows the Tundra with a zero percent financing offer of its own or the choice of the same $2,500 in factory cash rebates, and the 2011 Nissan Maxima full-size sedan duplicates the Grand Caravan's incentives (0.0% financing or $2,500). The 2011 Lincoln MKX mid-size crossover mixes a 0.0% financing offer with a $500 cash bonus or the choice of $2,000 in total cash back, and the last entry for September - the 2011 GMC Canyon Crew Cab mid-size pickup - combines $1,000 in cash back with zero percent financing and also offers the availability of $2,500 in total cash back.

2011 Nissan Maxima

The 2011 Nissan Maxima is the Japanese brand's full-size sedan flagship, and as such it combines a good degree of luxury alongside the sporty driving flavor associated with most Nissan automobiles.

The 2011 GMC Canyon Crew Cab starts out with a 2.9-liter, four-cylinder engine under the hood that is rated to put out 185 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque.
