Memorial Day weekend remains one of the best times to buy a car, and 2026 deals are shaping up to be the most aggressive in years as dealers clear excess inventory.
Best Deals Expected
- Ford F-150: $7,500 off MSRP + 1.9% financing
- Chevrolet Equinox EV: $5,000 off + $7,500 tax credit
- Toyota RAV4: $3,000 off + 2.9% financing
- Hyundai Ioniq 5: $8,000 off MSRP
- Jeep Grand Cherokee: $6,500 off + 0% for 60 months
Negotiating Tips
Get pre-approved for financing before visiting dealers, negotiate the out-the-door price (not monthly payment), and be willing to walk away. Shopping on the last day of the month combined with Memorial Day weekend gives you maximum leverage.
