Chevy Silverado among best car deals according to TrueCar

(April 17, 2014) SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The Chevy Silverado 1500, with a 14.4% average savings off MSRP, currently tops the list of some of the best deals on new vehicles, according to TrueCar. Published monthly, this “TrueDeals” analyzes recent transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings.

“Consumers looking to buy trucks can expect great deals in the coming months,” said TrueCar Executive Vice President Larry Dominique. “With Ram outselling Silverado last month, a redesigned F-150 coming to market and GM re-introducing their entries in the mid-size truck segment, consumers have more options and incentives are likely to increase as a result.”
