CAMPBELL, Calif. (Business Wire EON) November 17, 2008 --
IntelliChoice.com (www.intellichoice.com),
the leading source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis, and
part of media and marketing services company Source Interlink Companies,
Inc. (NASDAQ:SORC), today announced its “Best
Deals of the Month” for November 2008 for
all new cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles. The monthly ranking
shows a steady increase on rebates and cash incentives, giving the
consumer the upper hand in a troubled market.
"November Best Deals have picked up where October’s
left off. It continues to be a buyer’s market,
plain and simple. If anyone is in the market for a car, especially an
SUV or large sedan, now is a great time to do your homework and visit
your local dealer,” said James Bell, editor of
IntelliChoice.com. “The heaviest rebates of
all are for previously unsung vehicles. Certain November winners, like
the Kia Sorrento, Kia Sedona, and Subaru Tribeca, knocked out more
common value brands like Toyota or Hummer thanks to heavier incentives.”
Bell noted that IntelliChoice.com’s list of
Best Deals continues to evolve thanks to the ratcheting up of rebates
and cash incentives. “The Lincoln MKZ has
been noted as November’s best value near
luxury car over the Lexus ES thanks in part to its $3,500 rebate. I
predict that we will see more flux among manufacturers based on the
impact of such high rebates. In the full size pick-up class, the Lincoln
Mark LT 2WD was named Best Deal over the Toyota Tundra Regular Cab 2WD
due to the Lincoln’s $8,500 rebate. That is a
number that would have been unheard of just a few months ago. This is
undoubtedly a great opportunity for consumers, but they have to stay on
their toes and make sure they have the most up to date Best Deals list
to help identify the smartest purchases.”
IntelliChoice.com’s “Best
Deals of the Month” identify new
cars, trucks, and SUVs with the best ownership cost value in 33
respective classes. Selections are based on current car prices, market
conditions and the lowest national manufacturer consumer new car rebate.
In addition, IntelliChoice.com uses the latest information from numerous
automotive resources to evaluate what it costs to buy, own and operate
each new car model-year trim line over a five-year basis.
The following “Best Deals”
for November 2008 are ranked by vehicle type and size:
IntelliChoice.com Helps Consumers Do
Their Homework
IntelliChoice.com updates vehicle data several times a month in order to
capture the many expiring auto rebates and ongoing incentive programs
offered by manufacturers—giving consumers the
most up-to-date analysis. IntelliChoice.com’s “Best
Deals” designation enables consumers to
identify how car rebates affect a vehicle’s
value throughout ownership and not just at the time of purchase.
Ownership costs can vary significantly among different trim lines of the
same model. Additionally, IntelliChoice.com continuously updates fuel
costs based on the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Vehicles designated as “IntelliChoice.com
Best Deals of the Month” are typically cars
and trucks that have good to great ownership cost values before any
manufacturer rebate. A rebate can often turn a good ownership cost value
into a great value, and a great value into an “IntelliChoice.com
Best Deal of the Month.”
