How CarWhere Calculates the Best Deals
Every deal on this page comes from a real buyer who submitted their purchase details after buying. Here's how we turn raw transaction data into the rankings above.
Verified buyer submissions
Every deal includes the final selling price, MSRP, manufacturer incentives, dealer fees, and add-ons. We calculate the effective discount — the total savings off MSRP the buyer actually received.
Grouped and averaged by model
Deals are grouped by make and model. Models need at least 20 verified deals to appear in the rankings, ensuring the averages are statistically meaningful — not skewed by one or two outliers.
Ranked by average discount off MSRP
Models are sorted by average discount percentage, so you can see at a glance which vehicles are selling furthest below sticker price.
Regional data available
Click into any model or state to see how pricing varies by location. What's a good deal in Texas may not be the same in New York.
Why this matters: Most "best car deals" pages show manufacturer rebates or dealer advertised prices. Those numbers often include incentives you don't qualify for, or exclude fees that inflate the final price. CarWhere shows what buyers actually paid after everything — MSRP, discounts, incentives, fees, and add-ons.

Car Deals FAQ — April 2026
What are the best new car deals right now?
The best new car deals change monthly based on inventory, incentives, and demand. This page ranks models by verified buyer discount — the actual percentage off MSRP that real buyers achieved. Full-size trucks, sedans, and outgoing model years typically offer the largest discounts.
How are these deals verified?
Every deal on CarWhere is submitted by a verified buyer who recently purchased a vehicle. Submissions include the final selling price, MSRP, incentives, and all fees. We calculate discounts from actual transaction prices, not dealer advertisements or estimates.
How often is this page updated?
This page refreshes hourly with the latest deal data. New buyer submissions are processed continuously, so discount percentages and deal counts reflect current market conditions — not last month's data.
Why do discounts vary so much by model?
Discounts depend on inventory levels, model popularity, manufacturer incentives, and where the vehicle is in its production cycle. Slow-selling models or those being replaced by a new generation typically have larger discounts, while high-demand or newly released vehicles may sell at or above MSRP.
What percent off MSRP is a good deal on a new car?
It depends on the vehicle. A 3% discount on a high-demand truck is excellent, while 3% on a sedan with excess inventory is poor. The best way to evaluate your deal is to compare your discount to the average for that specific model, which you can see on each vehicle's pricing page on CarWhere.
Should I only buy the car with the biggest discount?
Discount percentage is one factor, but not the only one. A 15% discount on a car you don't want isn't a deal — it's an expense. Use discount data to evaluate whether the price on a car you've already chosen is competitive compared to what other buyers paid.
Do these deals include manufacturer rebates and incentives?
Yes. The discount percentages shown account for the effective discount off MSRP including manufacturer incentives applied at the time of purchase. This represents the total savings the buyer received, which is what matters when evaluating a deal.
How do I get a deal as good as the ones shown here?
Start by researching the average discount for your vehicle on CarWhere. Then get quotes from multiple dealers, negotiate based on the data, and upload your best quote to DealDrive for AI analysis. Buyers who negotiate with real pricing data consistently get better deals than those who guess.
What is the best way to find local car prices before visiting a dealership?
The best way to find local car prices is to search verified buyer transaction data on CarWhere by state or city. You can see what buyers near you paid for any make and model, compare prices across local dealers, and identify which dealerships offer the best discounts. Research local transaction data before visiting a dealer to walk in with a data-backed negotiating position.
