2009 Chevrolet Aveo
0.0% Interest or $1,500.00 Cash Back

The 2009 Chevrolet Aveo is an entry-level compact car that is designed to appeal to first time buyers on a budget. The Aveo can be ordered as either a traditional sedan or a sporty-looking hatchback (sold as the Aveo5), whose styling has been updated for 2009 to bring it more in line with the sedan’s look. As basic transportation, there is little to dislike about the Aveo – interior room is good for its class, and the hatchback’s additional storage capacity (37.2 cubic feet in total) increases the practicality of the vehicle. The base Aveo can be upgraded with equipment such as cruise control, power windows and door locks, heated mirrors, satellite radio and even a sunroof.

The 2009 Chevrolet Aveo offers a single engine option, a 1.6-liter, four cylinder unit. Thanks to the use of variable-valve timing, this motor produces 106 horsepower and 108 lb-ft of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, while a 4-speed auto can also be ordered. Fuel mileage for the Aveo is rated at a thrifty 27 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest or $1,500.00 cash back on the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo effective until 11/02/2009.

2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
0.0% Interest and $1,000.00 Cash Back

The 2009 Dodge Caravan is one of the most popular minivans on the market. The Grand Caravan’s combination of comfort, quality and configurability have made it a hit with families across the country. All versions of the van come with air conditioning, a full range of power equipment and Dodge’s Stow ‘n Go feature. The latter allows for rear seats to be folded flat into the floor with a minimum of fuss, revealing an incredible 144.3 cubic feet of cargo space. The options list for the Grand Caravan is quite long, and includes such niceties as three zones of climate control, a power lift gate, and leather seats. A rear seat DVD entertainment package can also be ordered, along with Swivel ‘n Go, which adds a stowable table and second row seats that can turn around to face the rear of the vehicle.

The 2009 Dodge Caravan comes with a 3.3-liter V-6 as its base engine. With 175 horsepower and 205 lb-ft of torque, the motor provides decent acceleration while returning fuel economy numbers of 17 miles per gallon around town and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. A more powerful 3.8-liter V-6 is also available, boosting output to 197 ponies and a much heftier 230 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for this unit drops by 1 mile per gallon for each measure. A four-speed automatic is matched to the 3.3-liter motor, while the 3.8 sees the inclusion of a smoother 6-speed auto.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest and $1,000.00 cash back, or $4,500 cash back on the 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan effective until 10/31/2009.

2009 Jeep Patriot
$1,500.00 Cash Back

The 2009 Jeep Patriot is designed to cram as much of the off-road capability that the brand is known for as possible into a compact package that is equally at home cruising the crowded urban jungle. For the most part, the Patriot offers much higher trail capabilities when compared to most other small SUV’s on the market, which are usually more geared towards cargo hauling than wilderness exploration. When enhanced with the Freedom Drive II Off-Road group of options, the Patriot benefits from low-range all-wheel drive, skid plates, aggressive tread for its tires, Hill Descent Control and a special locking differential. This is on top of the Patriot’s comfortable seating for five and excellent cargo configurability which can see it swallow 8-foot loads with ease.

In addition to all-wheel drive, the 2009 Jeep Patriot can also be ordered in standard front-wheel drive. All editions of the Patriot share the same 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine that puts out 172 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is included free of charge, while a continuously-variable automatic transmission can be included for those who would prefer to let a computer handle the gear shifts. Fuel economy for the Patriot is rated at 23 miles per gallon in city driving and 28 miles per gallon during highway cruising.

There is an incentive of $1,500.00 cash back on the 2009 Jeep Patriot effective until 10/31/2009.

2009 Kia Optima
$2,500.00 Cash Back

The 2009 Kia Optima has been upgraded in order to make it larger, more powerful and more refined than previous editions of the mid-size sedan. The Optima’s interior feels roomy, and the LX model offers a number of creature comforts right out of the box: air conditioning, a CD player and USB input are standard. The Optima EX provides leather seats, automatic climate controls, cruise control and special 17-inch wheels, while the SX mixes in a sport suspension and racier interior and exterior trim. Standalone options include a moon roof, voice-activated navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and a remote starter.

The 2009 Kia Optima starts out with a 4-cylinder engine that displaces 2.4-liters. At 175 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque, this motor can be shifted either through a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. An available 2.7-liter V-6 improves driving excitement through the addition of 194 total horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and for this unit a 5-speed automatic is the only available gearbox. Fuel mileage for the 4-cylinder is rated at 22 miles per gallon in town and 32 miles pre gallon on the highway, while the V-6 drops efficiency down to 20 miles per gallon city and 28 miles per gallon highway.

There is an incentive of $2,500.00 cash back on the 2009 Jeep Patriot effective until 11/02/2009.

2009 Nissan Xterra
0.0% Interest and $2,000.00 Cash Back

The 2009 Nissan Xterra is a mid-size sport-utility vehicle that skews towards the rugged, truck side of the equation. Intended to provide an adventure platform for outdoor fun lovers, the Xterra is built tough enough to withstand a pounding when driven off the pavement while still providing a decent amount of interior storage for the accessories that typically accompany this particular lifestyle: mountain bikes, kayaks, skis and camping gear. A total of 65 cubic feet of storage space are available with the rear seats out of the picture, and the Xterra can comfortably seat five adults on the way to the lake, mountain or national park. Options include skid plates, off-road tires and electronic Hill Descent Control, as well as Bilstein shocks and a locking rear differential. Inside, leather seats and a compass can also be ordered.

The 2009 Nissan Xterra features a 261 horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 engine that also generates 281 lb-ft of torque – more than enough motivation for a weekend of fun with a full load of friends and gear. A 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic are the transmissions of choice, and each Xterra can be equipped with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. Fuel mileage for the two-wheel drive edition of the SUV comes in at 16 miles per gallon in stop and go traffic, and 20 miles per gallon on the highway.

There is a financing incentive of 0.0% interest and $2,000.00 cash back on the 2009 Nissan Xterra effective until 11/02/2009.
