Best Car Deals for the Month of October

The editors at Kelley Blue Book (KBB) have put together a list of the best lease, financing and purchase deals available for the month of October. There are six significant cash-back offers, one lease deal and three financing deals that stand out from the crowd.

Car sales have been strong this summer and have lifted the number of used cars available for sale. Not only does that drive down prices for used cars, but it can also force carmakers and dealers to reduce the price of new cars. Incentives may increase to bring in more buyers, but a lot depends on the strength of demand for new cars. If car buyers have been postponing a new car purchase and now want to buy one with all the latest features, no number of used cars is likely to make them change their minds.

On to the deals. KBB’s top deal for the month is a cash-back offer from Nissan for a 2014 Maxima S. The car carries an MSRP of $32,100 and Nissan is offering $4,500 in a cash-back promotion.

KBB rates the month’s only lease deal as the second-best offer. General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) is offering a 36-month lease on a 2014 Cadillac CTS coupe for a cash payment of $3,029 and monthly payments of $299. The MSRP on the car is $40,420.
