Ten Best Holiday Car Deals

If you're in the market for a new car check out this list of the best deals identified by TrueCar.com.

With the year rapidly coming to an end now is a great time to buy a vehicle. As detailed in the recent TrueTrends™ by TrueCar Report, the best days in December to buy are the final three days – Wednesday, December 29 through Friday, December 31.

The deals on 2010 and 2011 models can potentially save consumers up to 24 percent including options. As it gets closer to the end of the year, those percentages are likely to go up based on dealer specific sales quotas. That, combined with dealers' need to get 2010 models finally off their lots, means that there should be an abundance of great deals available to consumers.

"The end of the year is always a great time to buy a car," said Jesse Toprak, VP of Industry Trends and Insights for TrueCar.com. "From year-end incentives to dealers and salespeople having sales-based quotas, between now and the end of the year, consumers can get a great deal on a new vehicle "
