IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelley Blue Book www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new car and used car information, today announces the Top 10 Holiday Car Deals of 2010.
While automakers are well-known for their holiday-themed deals and marketing campaigns, with fancy names like 'December to Remember,' 'Platinum Celebration,' 'Limited Engagement' and more, a good deal is a good deal no matter what you call it, and this year there are plenty from which to choose. The expert editors of Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com recently collected 10 of their favorites, including a handful of enticing zero-percent financing and zero-down lease deals, and published the list to kbb.com so new-car shoppers could be well-informed before making a great deal on a new ride.
"The end of the year is a great time to buy a car, with dealers ready to clear out their current inventory and close their books on the year, and automakers sweeten the pot even more with loads of incentives and great holiday deals for new-car shoppers," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com. "Smart shoppers should do their homework before heading to the dealership to buy a car during the holidays, visiting Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com to find the best current new-car offers, what price they should expect to pay, trade-in values, negotiating tips and more."
