Worth chasing this month

April 2026 is one of the strongest months to buy in years. Manufacturer cash incentives are up 27% year-over-year. Lease money factors softened across the luxury segment. Pickup days-supply crossed 90, which means real cash on the hood for the first time since 2020. The articles below are CARMIND's monthly deal coverage. Each one has the actual money factors, residuals, and total drive-off numbers, not the dealer ad-copy version.
