Is Now the Time to Buy?
Labor Day is one of the few times the numbers lean your way. Dealers want 2025 inventory gone before 2026 models start to crowd dealership lots. That’s why we’re seeing a flood of 0% APR offers in August and September. As CarEdge Co-Founder and auto industry veteran Ray Shefska always says, financing is just one piece of the deal—lock the out-the-door price first. Don’t tip your hand on how you’ll finance, and don’t mention a trade-in until the price is set.
Time is of the essence for Labor Day 2025 car sales. Most manufacturer incentives end on September 2, but some dealer-specific sales could stretch through the month.

10 Best Labor Day Car Deals in 2025: Toyota, Ford, and More
A few times a year, the calendar hands car buyers a major advantage. Labor Day is one of the few times when the numbers actually lean your way. Expect nothing less than 0% APRs, cash on the hood, and ridiculously cheap leases. CarEdge’s Ray Shefska has been in this business long enough to know not every “deal” is a deal, so we asked him to share the 10 best offers that actually save you money this Labor Day. Here are the best of the best in August and early September.
2025 Ford F-150 STX
Lease from $499/mo for 36 months with just $499 due at signing
Ford doesn’t usually let you drive off in an F-150 with this little down. For a pickup this size, it’s a surprisingly cheap way to get in. However, there’s plenty of competition from Ram and Toyota this month as you’ll see below. See Ford offer details.
👉 Check F-150 listings with local market insights
2025 Ford Explorer Active 4WD
Lease from $499/mo for 36 months with $499 due at signing
Ford’s Labor Day lease sale is truly something special. If you’re considering any Ford model in the months ahead, it’s probably worth it to consider acting sooner to lock in lease savings. See Ford offer details.
👉 See Explorer deals with local market insights
2025 Ram 1500
1.9% APR for 72 months
The Ram 1500 is one of the ‘big three’ trucks, but that doesn’t mean it’s a fast-seller. But with 77 days of market supply, incentives seem to be doing their job. This is the best sales rate for the Ram 1500 in recent memory.
In select markets, Ram is also offering the option of 15% off MSRP plus 3.9% APR for 72 months. See Ram offer details.
👉 See Ram 1500 listings with local market insights
2025 Toyota Tundra
1.99% APR for 72 months in select markets
The Tundra is a full-size truck that’s just as capable as the competition from Ford and GM. With six years of low-APR financing, this is a deal worth the test drive. See Toyota offer details.
👉 View Tundra listings with local market insights
2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV
0% APR for 60 months (tax credit expires September 30)
Chevy’s Equinox EV is the best-selling non-Tesla EV, with sales nearing the 10,000 mark in the month of July. Buyers see the Equinox EV as a standout value with pricing well under $40,000 and zero percent financing, and that’s before the tax credit is taken into consideration. Speaking of the federal EV tax credit, buyers have until the end of September to take advantage of the incentive. See Chevrolet offer details.
👉 Browse Equinox EV inventory
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
0% APR financing for 72 months
Among popular SUVs and crossovers, this interest-free offer from Jeep stands out. As a bonus, the Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid qualifies for federal EV incentives. See Jeep offer details.
👉 Browse the most negotiable Jeep inventory
2025 Honda Prologue
0% APR for 60 months, or lease for $159/mo for 36 months with $2,599 due
I think it’s safe to say that Honda has been surprised by the instant hit they’ve had with the Honda Prologue. Inventory is selling quickly as buyers rush to get ahead of the September tax credit deadline. See Honda offer details.
👉 Find Honda deals near you
2025 Hyundai Palisade
0% APR for 60 months + up to $1,500 cash + 90-day payment deferral
The Palisade has always been a hot seller for Hyundai. That’s why it’s a big deal that zero percent financing is offered for Labor Day 2025. This is an excellent choice for families needing a 3-row SUV. See Hyundai offer details.
👉 Search Palisade inventory with local market insights
2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV
$10,000 lease cash, for a lease offer from $285/mo for 24 months with $3,999 due
Lease cash this high is virtually unheard of in today’s market. A three-row plug-in hybrid for under $300/month? That’s almost too good to be true. The flexibility of the PHEV powertrain means that you can drive electric in the city with a gas-powered hybrid for the highways. See Mazda offer details.
👉 See Mazda CX-90 PHEV listings near you
2025 Toyota RAV4 PHEV
$6,500 lease cash in select markets
Toyota is the fastest-selling automaker in America in 2025, with everything from the RAV4 to the bZ4X flying off dealer lots. That’s precisely why this deal is special. Toyota has little incentive to cut prices, so take advantage of this Labor Day while it lasts.

How to Get the Best Deal This Labor Day
These offers expire in just a few weeks. Dealers will flip the switch once September passes, especially for electric vehicles that are selling much faster than expected ahead of the sunset of the EV tax credit. There’s no excuse for walking into the dealership blind. Use the tools we’ve built at CarEdge to make sure you’re getting the real deal, not just dealer talk.

The 10 Biggest Cash Discounts in August 2025 – Up to $15,000 Off MSRP
Some August car deals are so big, you might think the automaker made a typo. We’re talking five-figure discounts, including a staggering $15,000 off one model. Automakers are pulling out all the stops to move metal before 2026 models arrive, and the result is a clearance sale you don’t see every summer. These Labor Day offers are the best new car deals out there, period.
2025 Audi S e-tron GT quattro – $15,000 Off MSRP
August Savings: $15,000 off MSRP
Offer valid through: 9/30/2025
Base MSRP: $126,795
Audi is offering one of its largest cash discounts ever on the S e-tron GT quattro. The $15,000 incentive applies to both purchases and leases. Not in the market for an electric sports car? No problem. Most Audi models are advertised with cash discounts between $2,000 and $6,000 right now.
See Audi S e-tron GT listings in your city
2024 Dodge Charger Daytona – $12,250 Cash Allowance
August Savings: $12,250 (2024 models) or $7,750 (2025 models)
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $61,590
Dodge is offering huge incentives to clear out the last of the 2024 inventory. But before you get too excited about the $12,250 cash allowance, it’s important to note that this offer is for the Charger Daytona EV. It’s fast and has the classic muscle car look, but the only engine burbles you’ll be hearing are artificially produced with speakers. That’s a tough pill to swallow for muscle car enthusiasts.

2025 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid – $10,000 Lease Cash
August Savings: $10,000 lease cash
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $51,475
Lease: $285/month for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing (before taxes and fees)
Mazda is going big on the CX-90 PHEV this month, offering $10,000 in lease cash. With three rows, plug-in hybrid efficiency, and the most savings we’ve seen from Mazda in a long time, the CX-90 PHEV is a compelling alternative to pricier luxury SUVs. Unfortunately, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV does not qualify for the federal tax credit for PHEVs, which ends on September 30, 2025.
See Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid listings in your city
2025 Nissan Ariya – $10,000 Customer Cash
August Savings: $10,000 off MSRP
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $41,160
Nissan is offering $10,000 customer cash on the all-electric Ariya crossover, but this offer can’t be combined with Nissan’s 0% APR for 72 months. Most owners say that the Ariya is great for around town, but it’s not the fastest-charging EV for road trips.
See Nissan Ariya listings in your city
2025 Kia Niro EV – $7,500 Customer Cash
August Savings: $7,500 off MSRP (purchase only)
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $41,045
Kia’s Niro EV gets $7,500 customer cash this month, nearly a 20% discount off MSRP. This offer applies to purchases only, not leases, making it the best deal in August for anyone ready to commit to EV ownership. With 253 miles of range yet painfully slow charging (expect about 50 minutes for 10 – 80% at a public fast charger), the Niro EV is best for commuting around town.
The Niro EV does not qualify for federal tax credits.
See Kia Niro EV listings in your city
2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer – $7,750 Off MSRP
August Savings: $7,750 off MSRP
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $93,945
Jeep is offering $7,750 off the flagship Grand Wagoneer after stagnant sales caused a buildup of last year’s models. The more affordable Wagoneer and Wagoneer S EV are both offered with similar cash discounts in August 2025.
Compare Jeep Grand Wagoneer listings in your city
2024 Dodge Hornet – $7,750 Off MSRP
August Savings: $7,750 off MSRP
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $41,400
Stellantis is doing everything it can to sell aging inventory. At this point, some Dodge Hornets are approaching two years on dealership lots. In August, Dodge is offering $7,750 off the Hornet. Two-thirds of Dodge Hornet lot inventory are remaining 2024 models. There are even about 100 2023s still unsold.
See Dodge Hornet listings in your city
2025 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid – $5,250 Cash Allowance
August Savings: $5,250 cash allowance
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $54,595
Minivan shoppers, take note: the Pacifica PHEV is offering $5,250 cash allowance this month. With room for seven, a fuel-sipping hybrid drivetrain, and Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go seating, it’s a great deal for big families.
Compare Chrysler Pacifica listings in your city
2025 Audi A6 Sedan – $5,000 Cash Offer
August Savings: $5,000 off MSRP
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $60,700
Audi’s A6 55 TFSI quattro sedan is available with $5,000 off MSRP whether you buy or lease. Audi’s U.S. sales have been falling, and Volkswagen Group is pushing incentives to sell these higher margin luxury models before they become last year’s cars.
See Audi A6 listings in your city
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L – $5,000 Cash Allowance
August Savings: $5,000 off MSRP
Offer valid through: 9/2/2025
Base MSRP: $50,290
Jeep is offering $5,000 off the 2025 Grand Cherokee L Limited 4×4 in August. The Grand Cherokee is one of the better-selling Jeep models right now, but with an oversupply on dealership lots, even the Grand Cherokee isn’t safe from clearance sales.

The Fastest and Slowest-Selling EVs in August 2025
Electric vehicles continue to carve out an ever-so-slightly bigger slice of the car market, but demand isn’t evenly spread. Some EVs are flying off dealer lots in a matter of weeks, while plenty of others are sitting unsold for more than eight months. Knowing which models are moving quickly, and which are stagnant, can give you the upper hand.
We analyzed August car market data to find the EVs with the lowest and highest market day supply (MDS). MDS measures how many days it would take to sell through current inventory at the current sales pace. Here are the standouts in today’s EV market.
Top 10: The Fastest-Selling EVs Right Now
These are the EVs with the lowest market day supply as of August 2025. That means they’re in high demand right now, and likely harder to negotiate on due to limited availability.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | Total Sold (45 days) | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota | bZ4X | 32 | 1,511 | 2,123 | $42,248 |
| Acura | ZDX | 36 | 1,122 | 1,397 | $68,906 |
| Mercedes-Benz | EQB | 39 | 766 | 882 | $60,956 |
| BMW | i4 | 44 | 1,835 | 1,875 | $66,829 |
| Nissan | LEAF | 49 | 513 | 470 | $28,695 |
| Nissan | Ariya | 49 | 2,456 | 2,045 | $40,049 |
| Lexus | RZ | 53 | 1,167 | 999 | $50,696 |
| Chevrolet | Equinox EV | 57 | 12,061 | 9,594 | $41,909 |
| Mercedes-Benz | EQS | 59 | 363 | 277 | $118,731 |
| Chevrolet | Blazer EV | 68 | 5,814 | 3,835 | $51,083 |
Source: CarEdge Pro
Toyota’s bZ4X tops the list this month at just 32 days of supply, showing that Toyota loyalists will consider an EV with the Toyota badge. This is intriguing since Toyota has been kicking its EV transition down the road for as long as it could. The 2026 Toyota bZ will replace the bZ4X in name, and will look a lot better in our opinion.
Nissan scored a rare double appearance with both the LEAF and Ariya selling quickly. But don’t let Nissan’s EV sales rate fool you: they’re still selling electric models in much lower volumes than Chevrolet, Hyundai, Ford, and obviously Tesla.
Mercedes-Benz and Chevrolet also have two models each in the top 10. The Chevy Equinox EV is the best-selling electric car outside of Tesla right now, at least in terms of total sold.
Bottom 10: The Slowest-Selling EVs in 2025
These EVs have the highest MDS, meaning they’re sitting unsold for far longer than average. Buyers may be able to score bigger discounts on these models — especially with CarEdge’s AI Negotiator doing the legwork for you.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | Total Sold (45 days) | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cadillac | Escalade IQ | 254 | 4,274 | 757 | $144,271 |
| Ford | Mustang Mach-E | 238 | 23,363 | 4,426 | $48,656 |
| Porsche | Taycan | 229 | 1,937 | 380 | $143,805 |
| Volkswagen | ID. BUZZ | 216 | 3,473 | 722 | $67,433 |
| Audi | Q6 e-tron quattro | 196 | 6,003 | 1,380 | $74,856 |
| GMC | Sierra EV | 173 | 3,789 | 985 | $92,215 |
| Volkswagen | ID.4 | 173 | 6,330 | 1,648 | $47,670 |
| Hyundai | IONIQ 9 | 172 | 4,438 | 1,162 | $71,002 |
| Cadillac | Vistiq | 170 | 4,842 | 1,279 | $98,815 |
| Kia | EV6 | 155 | 4,541 | 1,321 | $50,536 |
Source: CarEdge Pro
Cadillac’s Escalade IQ is the slowest-selling EV in America right now, with an eye-popping 254 days of supply. Luxury EVs dominate the slowest sellers, including the Porsche Taycan, Audi Q6 e-tron. The Ford Mustang Mach-E also finds itself here again, with nearly 8 months of supply on dealer lots despite big incentives. For buyers, these numbers point to opportunities, but only if you know how to negotiate.
What This Means for EV Shoppers
If you’re chasing a deal, start your search with the slowest sellers. High inventory levels give you leverage, and dealers will be more motivated to talk price. Always check the latest EV incentives.
In August and September, expect an EV buying frenzy for any models that qualify for the new and used EV tax credits. Those incentives are going to expire on September 30, 2025.
“If you’re shopping for a slow-selling EV, you have more negotiating power than you might think,” says auto industry veteran Ray Shefska. “But with the federal tax credits ending September 30, you can combine dealer discounts with a major incentive — that’s a rare opportunity to save big.”

Thinking about leasing? It’s worth considering. EVs tend to depreciate faster than gas-powered cars, and leasing can protect you from steep resale losses down the road. See depreciation forecasts for free with CarEdge’s Research Hub.

Are You a Well-Qualified Car Buyer? Here’s How to Know
If you’ve seen new car sales that promise “0% APR for well-qualified buyers,” you may have been left wondering if you meet the criteria. What is considered a well-qualified car buyer, and why does it matter? Let’s break it down in plain English. Whether you’re financing, leasing, or paying cash, knowing if you’re a well-qualified buyer could significantly impact your car buying budget.
What Is a Well-Qualified Car Buyer?
A well-qualified buyer is someone who meets an automaker’s criteria for the best advertised deals, like 0% financing, the best lease deals, or cash-back incentives.
But here’s the catch: every automaker and lender sets their own definition of “well-qualified,” and they’re not always upfront about it. However, our CarEdge car buying experts have seen it all over the years, and we’ve gathered some of the most common requirements to be considered a well-qualified buyer in the eyes of a lender.
Common traits of a well-qualified buyer include:
- A high credit score, always 700+, but sometimes over 750.
- A clean credit history, with on-time payments and no recent delinquencies
- A low debt-to-income ratio, ideally below 36%
- A steady income and long-term employment
- A sizeable down payment (in most cases), and no negative equity trade-in
If that’s you, great! You’re likely to qualify for top-tier financing and lease offers. But if not, there are still ways to save money and negotiate a great deal.
Why This Matters
When you see a deal advertised on a dealership’s website or in a commercial, there’s usually fine print that says “for well-qualified buyers.” That’s their way of saying not everyone gets the offer.
This can lead to frustration and confusion when you show up expecting a certain payment, and leave with a much higher quote.
Knowing your buyer profile ahead of time helps you avoid surprise costs and gives you negotiating power. That’s where CarEdge can help.

The term “well-qualified buyer” is one that few car buyers understand when stepping foot in the dealership. But when you’re informed and prepared, you level the playing field. It’s always smart to have an honest, holistic view of your financial situation before getting serious about buying any new or used car.
