Top 10 Incentives for February 2013

February is the month of love, and who doesn't love some cash back on the vehicle of their choice? We've gathered a list of the top cash incentive deals for the month, on cars ranging from the BMW 6 Series to the Chrysler 300, all of them 2013 models. Although there may have been better incentives out there, including financing and leasing options, our opinion is cash talks. Ranging from $1,500-$10,750 cash incentives, these are the cars we feel have an incentive appropriate for the vehicle it represents. Of course we could have included a POS with a $5,000 Customer Cash incentive, but if it's just a bargain on a lousy car, it's not worth it. We combed through every incentive offer to bring you the best possible deal. Check out what's being offered this month, but remember, many of these incentives expire at the end of the month.

2013 Ford Focus Electric

$10,750 Cash Back on New Lease
Expires 4/1/13
If you're looking for an electric vehicle to help beat the prices at the gas pump, you won't find one with a better incentive.

$3,500 Retail Cash
Expires 2/28/13
Yes, this isn't nearly as much as the Ford Focus Electric, but the Nissan Maxima's $3,500 cash offer isn't something to snub. In order to get this offer, it can't be combined with any financing option lower than 2-percent, and it has to be financed through Nissan Motor Acceptance...show more Corporation, but for $3,500, wouldn't you jump through those hoops?

2013 GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Sliverado

$3,000 Retail Cash
Expires 2/28/13
With the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in January, the current, older trucks need as much enticement as possible to get buyers into the showroom. Although the cash incentive on the ...show more href="http://www.automotive.com/chevrolet/silverado/2012/road-test/">2013 Silverado and Sierra models is lower than on the 2012 model, $3,000 is not a bad deal.

2013 Mazda6

$3,000 Dealer Cash
Expires 2/28/13
With the all-new 2014 Mazda6 coming soon, Mazda is clearing out the slow-selling predecessor. As an almost identical car to the Mazda Takeri concept, the 2014 Mazda6 has been redesigned with "soul." The...show more previous model was a fine car, but the styling was off putting to some, and the car's external dimensions weren't reflected in its interior space.
