When buying a new car, what is "cash incentive"?

[manteiv]

i often see for example $1500 cash incentive, does it mean that if I pay cash, I have a $1500 rebate?

[mr_raider]

It can mean that. It can also mean there is a rebate on financing or leasing. It depends whether the cash incentive is stackable with the finance rates or not.

no.

It can mean if you pay cash its 18,500.

If you finance they give you 1.9% but the price will be 20,000.

yes

You can only bundle if you do not take the subvented rate offered by the manufacturer. (0% , 1.9$ etc)

Means if the car costs 70,000 and you pay all in cash. You minus 1500

[mr_raider]

no.

What do you mean no?

Here is a nice cash incentive that applies with financing

That is not a cash incentive that is a cash credit..

2 different things.

^ Available manufacturer to dealer delivery credit (tax exclusive). Credits may vary by region. See your dealer for details

that can also be referred to as a signing bonus..

A 'cash incentive' is an incentive applied when a total cash payment is made on the car.

Does trade-in + total cash payment for the remainder qualify?
