Silverado buys are never surprised by huge discounts on the model, but we like to point the deals out when they make news. This month, U.S. News & World Report has named the truck to its list of Best New Car Deals.

 

"The current new-car sales slowdown is great news for consumers," says Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. "As carmakers ramp up incentives, it's possible to save thousands, even on top-performing models.

 

The Silverado has been a strong seller lately, but has, in fact, had a sales downturn over the past year, despite the uptick after this year’s natural disasters. Chevy is currently offering $6,000 cash back on the Silverado according to U.S. News.

 

Sales of the Buick LaCrosse have not been as rosy for GM. It was down a whopping 51% in December and 30% for the year of 2017. We suspect Buick dealers would love to make room for a quick-selling imported crossover on their lots. U.S. News says Buick is offering a staggering $9,500 cash back, depending on the region. The LaCrosse scored very well in U.S. News’ testing, garnering an overall score of 8.7 out of ten.
