Top 10 Deals of the Month for October 2007 — Cars

Looking for a bargain? We've got 10. The following cars are our TMV® (True Market Value) Deals of the Month, and they represent the best values we found in the marketplace. (Visit our Learn More About TMV page for more info about TMV.)

Some of these cars offer great deals with regard to leasing. By analyzing monthly payments, down payments, term, mileage, drive-off fees and TMV, we were able to single out vehicles with lease deals that provide the customer with the most car for the least amount of money.

Others come to the table with tremendous financing deals. We took a close look at APR, term and TMV, and used these factors to identify cars with special financing deals that offer outstanding savings on interest charges when compared to average market rates.

Finally, some of these cars boast compelling cash incentives. By scrutinizing customer cash rebates and manufacturer-to-dealer cash incentives, we were able to recognize vehicles offering the greatest overall discount to customers who want to pay cash for their purchase.

Note that for each of the vehicles below, we've identified whether its deals are lease-, finance- or cash-based.

  1. 2007 BMW Z4 3.0si Convertible: With spirited handling and exceptional build quality, the Z4 roadster offers BMW excellence in a relatively affordable package. Impressive lease and cash deals make it more enticing than ever this month.


  2. 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible: The 9-3 offers great handling for a front-drive car, and a muscular turbocharged V6. Current finance deals are outstanding.


  3. 2007 Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport: The C-Class is built to please, with a bevy of luxury and safety-oriented features. Stellar cash deals make it even more of a catch.


  4. 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid: Given the fact that it's a hybrid, this Nissan's superlative fuel economy comes as no surprise.

  8. 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser: The PT Cruiser's draws have always been its unique styling and its spacious cabin. Superlative lease deals are currently being offered.
