Foreign Automaker Incentives For September

Honda – Honda’s September incentives haven’t changed much from last month. The popular Accord sedan still has a lease special of $199 a month for 36 months with $2,199 due at signing. The lease special is for well-qualified buyers (meaning 720 FICO and above). The Civic and CR-V also have a lease special right now. You can lease a Civic for $179 or $199 a month for 36 months and a CR-V for $239 a month for 36 months. You’ll need anywhere from $1,400 to $2,500 at signing.

For those who prefer an auto loan, Honda is offering 2.9% for 36 months or 3.9% for 60 months.

Toyota – Toyota wants to clear out its 2009 and 2008 inventory, and has some good deals to entice buyers. The 2009 Tacoma has 0% auto loan financing for 36 months right now. The 2008 Sequoia, 2008 4Runner, 2009 Sienna, 2008 Solara, 2009 Matrix, 2009 Camry, 2009 Corolla, 2009 Yaris and 2009 Prius also have 0% APR financing for September.

Nissan – Nissan is offering $2,000 total savings on the popular 2009 Altima. The 2009 Murano and Rouge have $1,000 in total savings. The Sentra has $2,500 in cash back and bonus cash. Total cash back and bonus cash for other models ranges from $500 to $5,500. It looks like the cash back offers are for the entire month and the bonus cash offers are only good through Labor Day.

Hyundai – Hyundai is offering between $1,000 and $3,000 rebate on select 2008, 2009 and 2010 models. There are no special auto loan incentives listed on its Web site. It says to “see your dealer”. There are a few lease specials for September for the Elantra, Genesis and Genesis coupe. The Sonata, Azera and Tiburon also have a valued owner coupon incentive, anywhere from $500 to $2,000.

Pick any Suzuki model you like if you’re looking for no interest auto loans. Every model has 0% APR financing in September.

Kia – Cash back offers in September range from $1,000 to $3,000 for select Kia models. If you want a 0% interest auto loan, check out the 2010 Forte and 2010 Soul. Every Kia model has some sort of incentive for September, whether it’s cash back or no interest financing.

Mazda – Mazda is offering lease specials, low interest auto loans and customer cash for September. Buyers can get up to $4,000 in customer cash, or choose the low interest rates instead.
