Automakers are still trying to take advantage of Toyota’s woes by offering additional incentives for Toyota trade-ins. Ford and Hyundai’s previous offers have expired, but General Motors is continuing its push to lure Toyota owners into GM showrooms and now Volvo has jumped into the game, as well. (Toyota has countered with its own aggressive incentive programs.)
In addition to some dealer incentives GM is offering an extra incentive of $1,000 and Volvo is offering $500 to Toyota owners looking to switch brands. Zero percent financing is also available on some 2010 models. All the deals below expire on March 31st. The vehicles listed are considered Best Deals, meaning notable discounts on models that meet Consumer Reports criteria to be recommended. Other trims on the vehicles listed below may also present good deals. The full pricing information is available to online subscribers through the model overview pages.
