Washington DC November 20, 2007; The AIADA newsletter reported that bargain-hungry Black Friday shoppers can find the lowest prices of the year on closeout 2007 cars and trucks, but according to Forbes they'll still have to do their homework and some haggling to get the best deals. Their list of the top 10 deepest discounts on luxury vehicles runs from a possible $8,635 off of a Saab 9-7X to upwards of $18,000 off a Cadillac XLR. The highest individual kickbacks on remaining 2007 models are on two-seat convertibles. Often called "secret" rebates, dealer incentives rarely are publicized and aren't always passed on to car buyers. "It definitely gives the customer added leverage once he or she makes this known to a salesperson," says Robert Ellis, director of operations for the Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization Consumers' Checkbook, which offers lists on dealer incentives for $7.00 updated bi-monthly at www.checkbook.org.
