New-vehicle sales have taken a hit due to COVID-19 and automakers are trying to do everything they can to help get those new cars out to the world. Some of the highest cash and financing incentives have been put out to make these sales happen. Cash refunds are all over this month, no less than 28 vehicle lines from 2020 are offered with cash-back deals: $4,000 or more, the cap being at $9,000.
There are a lot of 0% financing deals being offered, a record breaking amount in the history of incentives for new cars. Zero-percent financing deals are being given with terms as long as 84 months. A ton of cash can be saved over time with an interest-free loan— especially on costly cars. Interest free auto loans accounted for over a quarter of the financed purchases in April compared to the 4% from the month before. Once May transactions are tallied, this deal is likely to account for a lot more purchases.
Some automakers are helping buyers who may be facing the unknown when it comes to employment and financial foundations with special programs. A lot of the bigger brands are allowing buyers to delay payments for 90-120 days. Ford is taking a step further by deferring the first payment for three months and making the first three payments. Nissan is also deferring the payments for three months, in addition to covering the first two payments of certain models.
These special terms are limited to buyers who have great credit histories. Local dealers will be more flexible in negotiations to help spark the wave of car sales they’re waiting for. Many dealerships are doing their best to make it very easy to buy a new vehicle in these times. Many of them are working with shoppers face-to-face by appointment, adhering to proper safety measures, and literally allow transactions to go through without having to walk into a showroom. Shoppers can also virtually test drive cars while sitting in bed and can get quotes on websites as well as sign paper work at home.
