Talks About Cars

Are looking for the best vehicle deals for this month? Then this one is for you.

IntelliChoice.com has released the popular “Best Deals of the Month” for September 2007. The “Best Deals of the Month” determines the vehicles, including new cars, vans, trucks, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) with the best ownership cost value.

“Starting in September, consumers should be wary, because year-end closeouts can be a blessing and a curse. They may be welcome, especially in light of the current credit crunch, in that they can reduce monthly payments." said James Bell, publisher of IntelliChoice.com

"But the flip side is that this special money ‘on the hood’ can in certain circumstances accelerate depreciation and hurt resale value on vehicles that may have a long history of rebates. Buyers should always pay close attention to core ownership costs like refueling, maintenance and insurance premiums, rather than basing their decision solely on incentives. Moral of the story? No matter the time of year, shop for a vehicle with strong Cost of Ownership and then look for incentives on those vehicles. That is where bargains may lie.” he added.
