It’s a tough market right now for GM and Ford. GM has reported car sales down 20 percent this year and Ford is having the same difficulties. As a result, these companies are offering huge incentives. For example, Ford’s Expedition is the biggest gas guzzler out there, getting between 9 and 11 miles to the gallon. That’s awful and people simply aren’t buying them. So, Ford is offering a combination of incentives of up to $13,000 with its “Drive on Us” program. When you buy a vehicle, you need to know up front all the incentives that are out there. The incentive packages are available at Edmunds.com, so check them out. It’s also a good idea to check out carsdirect.com, which gives prices and the ability to buy right on the site. It may not be the best price, but it will be convenient.
