Everyone knows the end of the year is the best time to buy a car. Dealers want the “old” models gone to make way for next year’s and manufacturers are clearing out dead weight – the models they don’t plan on bringing back – so incentives are often at their highest in December and into January.

But the nitty-gritty details you didn’t know (the ones the dealers don’t WANT you to know) – like, Saab is practically giving away its 9-7X SUV – are now available to anyone via the handy and extremely insightful Truecar.com.


The site, just a little over a year old, lists pretty much any detail you could imagine about car prices. Since Green Among Gray is all about helping save our environment, let’s focus on the good hybrid deals Truecar is highlighting: 2009 Saturn Aura Hybrid, $27,045, 20% below MSRP; 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid, $27,370, 17% below; 2009 Saturn VUE Hybrid, $28,905, 17%; and 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid (above), $26,900, 8% below.
