CAMPBELL, Calif. (BusinessWire EON) July 5, 2007 --
PRIMEDIA’s IntelliChoice.com (www.intellichoice.com),
the leading source for automotive ownership cost and value analysis,
today announced its “Best
Deals of the Month” for cars, trucks and
SUVs for July 2007. Winners for July reveal that the recent
increase in incentives and rebates, especially among American
automakers, are thus far having little impact on overall value.
“So far, our perennial winners, which cover
everything from hybrids to trucks, are holding their own in the face of
increasing incentives,” said James Bell,
publisher of IntelliChoice.com. “Our list is
an important reminder to prospective car buyers that they need to pay
attention to much more than cash back and other incentives before making
this big purchase. Among other things, they need to consider how long
they’re going to own the vehicle and its
potential resale value.”
IntelliChoice.com’s “Best
Deals of the Month” identifies new
cars, trucks
and SUVs
with the best ownership cost value in 33 respective classes. Selections
are based on current car
pricing, 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 model-year trim line over a five-year
basis.
The following “Best Deals”
for July 2007 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 car
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. However, a rebate can often turn a good ownership
cost value into a great value, and a great value into an “IntelliChoice.com
Best Deals of the Month.”

report for the most up-to-date incentives.
