Which car brands have the best deals in November 2026?
Discounts are concentrated in a few brands. Almost every Nissan in stock is advertised below MSRP, and more than half of Hyundais are. At most other brands the advertised price is at MSRP or above it, usually because of dealer-added accessories or fees.

What are the best SUV deals this month?
SUVs make up four out of five new cars on dealer lots in the region, so most of the big discounts are on SUVs. The Nissan Pathfinder (three rows, about $4,800 off) and the Nissan Rogue (compact, about $2,800 off, from $29,190) are the standouts, with almost 800 of the two in stock between them. For a hybrid, the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is the deepest discount at about $3,600 off. Among compact SUVs the Hyundai Tucson and Kona are $1,000 to $1,700 below sticker.

Why are so many cars priced above MSRP?
About two in five listings we checked were advertised above MSRP. That is rarely a market adjustment on a hot model. Usually the dealer has added accessories such as wheel locks, tint or protection packages and folded them into the advertised price. Ask for a car without those add-ons, or ask for them to be removed, before you compare prices.
Is November a good time to buy a new car?
Often, yes. Dealers are clearing out the current model year as the next one arrives, and many want to hit year-end sales targets. Black Friday events start late in the month. The discounts above are already in dealers' advertised prices, so you don't have to wait for a holiday sale to get them.
Frequently asked questions
Where do these discounts come from?
They are the difference between each car's MSRP and the price the dealer advertises on its own website, as listed on FinAutoCheck on November 2, 2026. Manufacturer rebates are not subtracted.
Can I get a manufacturer rebate on top of these prices?
Sometimes. Rebates are listed separately on each car because eligibility depends on the buyer, and some rebates cannot be combined with special APR offers.
Do these prices include tax and fees?
No. They are the dealers' prices before tax and fees. The monthly estimate on each listing adds sales tax for your ZIP code and an estimated registration fee.
How often are prices updated?
FinAutoCheck refreshes dealer listings twice a day. This post is updated each month with new figures.
