10 Best New Car Deals In October 2014

Editor's Note: Remember even more important than the "deal" is buying the "right" vehicle. Here are some words of wisdom and tools to help get you down to a short consideration list and hints on how to be a smart buyer not a screwed buyer.

IRVINE, Calif. Oct. 8, 2014; Kelley Blue Book has assembled their list of the 10 best lease, financing and cash back deals available in October from a variety of auto manufacturers. 

While Kelley Blue Book's expert vehicle advisors typically recommend against buying a vehicle in its last model year before a full redesign, right now the deals might just be too hard to resist. Market forces and production imperatives have driven manufacturer incentives that lower the net price of several outgoing models that have good reputations, and thus qualify as great deals. 

"For October's list of KBB.com's 10 Best Deals of the Month, we've embraced this moment in time," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com.  "But don't drive off in one of these cars without first checking out the new and improved version replacing it, just to be sure you are happy with your end-result purchase."

Below are the KBB.com editors' picks for standout new-car lease, financing and cash back deals, all available at least through October 31, 2014:
