Washington DC August 3, 2009; The AIADA newsletter reported that with an auto market down 35 percent this year and 2010 models set to hit showrooms in a few short months, prospective buyers are in the perfect position to bargain with dealers eager to clear their lots. Cars like the Audi A8, Land Rover Range Rover, and Acura MDX all make Forbes list of the easiest cars to bargain for this summer.

For its list Forbes used analysis that tracked new-car sales nationwide for the first two weeks of July, noting both the price for which the car actually sold and the MSRP. It then determined which models sold for significantly less than MSRP.

The 10 vehicles with the largest difference between their selling prices and listed MSRPs made the cut. For consumers, the road to a sweet deal begins with understanding that vehicles are a commodity and should be treated as such, as well as discerning what you don't know – but should find out – before you hit the showroom.

Consumers should research incentives, including those from third-party vendors like USAA and American Express, and determine how much others are spending on the same vehicle.
