Top 10 Incentives for March 2013

March is the month of luck, and with the green streak running through everything, so why not incentives? This month boasts high cash incentives that fit perfectly with the theme of the month. We've gathered together a list of ten incentives we feel are the best. These incentives range from BMW to Ford to Nissan. There's a vehicle on the list for almost every budget and need. Although this month doesn't cap out at the record $10,750, the incentives range from $1,500 to $3,500, and we feel they appropriately match the vehicles they are intended for. There will always be bigger and better deals out there, but not always on a vehicle of quality. We've looked through all possible incentive offers to bring you the top deals. Just make sure to check the expiration date, as most of them expire at the end of this month.

2013 BMW 7 Series
Learn More
Incentive: $3,500
Expires: 4/1/13
The BMW 7 Series starts of this month's list of best incentive deals, and for good reason: $3,500 is the highest incentive you will find for a BMW this month, and it's not just for the base edition, but for most of the other trim options as well. This is the same offer as last month and in order to receive the cash, you must finance through BMW's financial services. With nine different trim options, there's a 7 Series for everyone, especially when the deal is sweetened with this great incentive. However, the $3,500 barely makes a dent in the car's starting price of $73,600.
2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra
Learn More
Incentive: $3,000
Expires: 4/30/13
Moving up on our list for March are the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado and 2013 GMC Sierra. As both vehicles are pretty similar, we've grouped them together. The same $3,000 cash incentive is again available on both. To receive this offer, the purchase must be financed through the manufacturer's finance company. However, don't try to combine the cash with an APR under 2.0 percent, as it's not allowed. If you want a great deal on a truck with good performance, here are two options.
2013 Cadillac CTS
Learn More
Incentive: $2,000
Expires: 4/30/13
All CTS trim options, including the coupe, sedan, V, and wagon are available with this incentive. With a base price of $38,905 for the coupe edition, an extra $2,000 off that price sounds nice. If you're looking to purchase the vehicle, you'll have no trouble getting your hands on this extra green, but the offer isn't available on vehicles that will be leased. Luckily, this incentive doesn't have any APR limitations, so you can get it as low as possible without having to worry about that $2,000 being removed from your grasp.
2013 Ford Explorer
Learn More
Incentive: $2,000
Expires: 4/1/13
From number seven to number four, the Ford Explorer once again has an incentive offer attached to it this month. This offer, however, can't be combined with an APR under 5 percent. If you want to keep with the month's theme of "green," you've found the car for you. With $2,000 cash, you can help chip away at the $29,100 starting price. The interior of the Explorer has features made with recycled plastics, including the headrests and carpets, and it even has an available EcoBoost engine to further your green thumb.
2013 Chevrolet Corvette
Learn More
Incentive: $2,000
Expires: 4/30/13
Want to get a good deal on a car that can go from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds? How does $2,000 towards a Corvette sound? We think it sounds pretty good. When financed through the manufacturer's finance company, expect to have $2,000 placed back into your pocket, but you better hold on to it as this car has a max 430 horsepower. Surprisingly, the Corvette is pretty fuel efficient, estimated to get 26 mpg on the highway. It even has what Chevrolet call "ecologic" features and benefits. When the car's life comes to an eventual end, over 85 percent of the materials are recyclable, so you don't have to worry about it ending up in a landfill somewhere.
2013 Nissan Murano
Learn More
Incentive: $2,000
Expires: 4/1/13
And the incentives keep on coming. How can the Murano stay in the game and beat its competitors without a significant refresh? Cash. When financed through Nissan's Motor Acceptance Corporation, you get $2,000 cash. The only restriction being with APR, as it can't be combined with an APR lower than 3.0 percent. Even the CrossCabriolet is throwing out some decent money at customers. It has an offer of $5,000 customer cash with the same offer terms as the Murano. The only question is, do you want a convertible with $5,000 in your pocket or a hardtop with $2,000?
2013 BMW 3 Series
Learn More
Incentive: $1,500
Expires: 4/1/13
BMW is doing something right if it claims another spot on our top ten incentives list this month. This time around, the 3 Series has an incentive offer of $1,500, which is about half of what is being offered on the previously mentioned 7 series. But that's ok when you consider that the 3 Series is half the price at $32,550. Half the incentive offer isn't that big a deal. With different trim options and great features, this sixth generation BMW is a sweet deal. At the end of the day, you're walking away with not only a new car, but a heavier wallet.
2013 Buick LaCrosse
Learn More
Incentive: $1,500
Expires: 4/30/13
Entering the list for the first time this year is the Buick LaCrosse. Most recognizable from its commercials featuring Shaq, the LaCrosse actually delivers on those space claims. It now has more legroom in its back seat than the Lexus ES, Acura TL and Infinity G37. Not only is the vehicle more comfortable, you can get behind its starting price of $31,660, especially when you can take the incentive and knock that price down to almost $30,000 flat. Don't blindly take Shaq's word on it, check out the LaCrosse for yourself, but just remember, it must be financed through the manufacturer's finance company and have an APR no lower than 3.0 percent. Follow those rules and that $1,500 is all yours.
2013 Ford Escape
Learn More
Incentive: $1,500
Expires: 4/1/13
Ford is the second automaker this month to claim another slot in the list. Like last month, Ford is offering $1,500 on all 2013 Escape models. The deal ends at the first of April, and is only available when financed through Ford Motor Credit Company with an APR of 5 percent or higher. The Escape is a pretty decent crossover with a reasonable base price and great features. Like with the Explorer, the Escape should make those concerned with the environment happy, with its recycled interior features and EcoBoost engine. Make others green with envy when you purchase this crossover and take home an extra $1,500 in the process.
2013 Nissan Quest
Learn More
Incentive: $1,500
Expires: 4/1/13
Our month of incentives comes to an end with the only minivan on the list, the Nissan Quest, making it stand out from the pack. With a surprisingly low price at $25,990, the Quest is one of the least expensive vehicles on the list. For a minivan, this vehicle has great gas mileage at 19/24 mpg city/highway. Great for families of all sizes, the Quest offers three different trim options, making it the minivan of choice for soccer moms everywhere. Take that $1,500 and go buy yourself something nice, after you buy the Quest through the Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, of course.
