CHICAGO, March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the
leading online resource for buying and selling new and used cars
and a comprehensive digital marketing resource for car dealerships
and manufacturers, reports exceptionally high inventory levels on
dealership lots due to low sales over the challenging winter
season. As a result, incentives and discounts from manufacturers
and dealers are abundant this month.
"It's no secret that severe weather has resulted in
lower-than-expected sales, causing inventory levels to swell at
most dealerships across the country," said Jesse Toprak, chief analyst for Cars.com.
"Consumers will benefit from automakers and dealers who are willing
to move standing inventory at a steep discount, with the most
attractive specials found in large-vehicle segments. For those in
the market for a new car, there are some excellent deals to take
advantage of."
