SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the most efficient and transparent online destination to find a car, shares its list of best cash, lease and finance deals on new cars for August 2021.
“We’re seeing a continuation of the downward trend in average incentive spend across the industry. This stems from historically low inventory related to the global shortage in microchips,” said Nick Woolard, Lead Industry Analyst for TrueCar. “So far in August almost 90% of models have lower cash incentives than August of 2020. However, the lower incentives aren’t impacting every segment equally with luxury cars and pickups seeing smaller reductions in incentives than other segments,” added Woolard.
TrueCar’s list of best cash, lease and finance deals can help consumers cut through the noise and identify some of the best opportunities for savings in the market right now.
