These great lease and finance deals continue in October with many lease offers promising low monthly payments. Additionally, many automakers are offering 0% financing and low interest rates and thousands of dollars in cash incentives on a wide range of vehicles including SUV?s and small fuel-efficient vehicles.?If you?re shopping for a new car in October, we suggest you review the following ten manufacturer lease and finance incentives to see if a particular offer makes sense for you.
