Top 10 New Car Cash Deals for June 2010

Introduction

Cash back -- nothing sounds better than that, right? Well, to get cash back you generally have to walk into the dealership and pay cash. Many people avoid the "How much can you afford?" monthly payment dance most salesmen try to engage them in by securing a new-car loan through a credit union before hitting the dealerships. If this is the path you prefer, or you're simply paying with your own savings, then this is your list. These are all cash offers, but one also offers marketing support on top. That means the manufacturer pays the dealer that money if they sell a car, which is nearly as good as cash in your pocket. If you know about it, the dealer might be willing to give up most or even all of the dealer incentive money to sell you the vehicle. So cruise through our Top 10 New Car Cash Deals for June 2010 to see if there's a deal for a ride that interests you.
