The best way is to go to the website of the car corporation and search for a link that states its current rebates. Print that page off the internet and take it with you to deal.

Answer 2

sale prices of cars vary widely even with the nearly identical ewquipment. the manufacturer has a set price-msrp, the invoice is not an accurate document. many dealers say they will selm you at 100 over invoice. not that great a deal. a better one is to figure a new vehicle will seel for 8-10 percent under the msrp.
rebates are incentive offerred bny the manufascturer to boost sales and reduce inventory overall. dealers will sometimes pass it along openly, others by "reducing it to a rael steal" price. just take the msrp- (8-10)%- dealer rebates,- manufacturerr rebate, -"real good deal" sales prices. you'll come pretty close to what the car will sell for at retail to the customer. some dealerships like the haggling, as do some customers. others giive you the rock bottom price up front. an even just tell you thgat the price you see is the price you pay. profit margins won't vary more than a percent or two over the entire year. for the delership. but cash flow for the manufacturer must be maintained and they use rebates later in the year, than at the beginning to maintain their cash flow levels fairly close over time. they figure the financial needs and expectations whenever they use any sales incentives.dealerships work on consignment sale processes. they know what the sale price hsould come out to within a few dollars. they pay for some costs up front, but the final cost for the consumer can be a bit higher for the novice buyer, and occasionally an few dollars lower through some negotiations and some small add-ons at below retail cost. one is adding power steering to a simple standard steering vehicle from the manufacturer. as an example, i purchased a new standard steering vehicle some years ago, but could have had power sterring for an additional 45 dollars. were i to do it myself after purchase, it would have cost over a 150 for the parts plus my labor. a good deal at the purchaes time, but way to expensive later.

The dealerships have to offer you any incentives or rebates that are offered by the manufacturer or lien holder that you qualify for. But if the dealership does not know that you can qualify for say a College graduate incentive, if that is out there, how can they offer it if they don't know. Your best bet is to go to the manufacturers website and search for your areas rebates. Different areas of the country have different rebates, even though it is the same manufacturer.
If you qualify for a rebate, and the dealership is aware, and has the proper proof you qualify, and they don't offer or give you the rebate, they can get a very healthy fine from the manufacturer. True story-the dealership I worked for missed 3 factory rebates for 3 different customers. When the manufacturer did an audit, and discovered the qualified rebates, the dealership was fined 10,000.00 !!! So, it pays to make sure their customers are offered the rebates they are entitled to. Of course, some of the rebates aren't caught by an audit, but dealerships are not willing to take that chance and get fined. Just a few missed rebates can cost them a lot more than rebate is worth. And in some cases, if the customer finds out he qualifies for a rebate after the fact, and brings in proof, the dealership can apply for that rebate and return it to the customer.
