auto rebates

Demand for new cars and trucks should be better than it was a year ago. But expectations now are for lower sales than in August, itself unimpressive. That would leave autos stuck in a four-month-long rut.

When it comes to new cars, bad news for the industry can be good news for consumers. Auto sales have slipped lately, and as a result, the major automakers are expected to ramp up the rebates and incentives this summer.
