Incentives Becoming Scarce

More and more automakers are cutting incentives for consumers to buy their vehicles. In fact, researchers have found that the automakers have reduced their incentives by around nineteen percent. This means that most people are finding that the automakers are spending around two thousand or so per vehicle. This is the lowest that automakers have spent on incentives in the past decade. The reason for this is that automakers are trying to offset the high cost of making the vehicles that are costing them quite a bit due to the rising prices of the materials to make these vehicles. And what has this cost the automakers? 

 

During the month of May when most automakers were making incentives less and less for the consumer, more consumers were simply waiting on buying their new car. Hoping that if they hold out for much longer that they will not have to worry about paying full price for a car, and will get the incentives that more times than not helps someone to make a decision on just what kind of car that they want. However, is this something that people should be doing? 

 

It looks like most automakers are going to keep the incentives down to a minimum for the time being. Many automakers have already increased the prices that they are asking for the autos that they are making due to the high price of materials to build the cars. However, with automakers trying to get people's business, we could see that many people are ready to jump to the competition, which could mean automakers bring the incentives back. 

 

But for right now, it seems that incentives may become less and less, which means that people are going to want to take advantage of them as soon as they find them. The reason is that these incentives could not be around the next time that you shop for a new vehicle.
