Car shopping looks very different during the COVID-19 pandemic than it did just a couple of months ago. Dealerships have been forced to close their showrooms or offer by-appointment-only visits, while automakers are scrambling to keep sales up with online shopping support and generous financing incentives. Despite the unusual environment, it's not a bad time to be in the market for a new vehicle thanks to all the incentives and discounts available this month. These 5 automakers are offering generous discounts in the form of cash back, customer cash, or cash allowance deals on specific models. The discounts may vary by location and model trims, so make sure to reference your local dealership for details.
1. Chevrolet
In addition to generous financing incentives like 0% APR for 84 months and no payments for 120 days when financed through GM financial, Chevy is currently offering cash back deals on popular models like the 2020 Silverado, Blazer, Impala, and Camaro. Shoppers looking for a new full-size truck can find offers like $6,000 customer cash on the 2020 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, and $4,500 customer cash on a Silverado 1500 Regular cab.
The Chevy Blazer (a recently launched crossover resurrected from an old Chevy nameplate) is a great deal at $3,250 customer cash, while the 2020 Chevy Impala and the 2020 Chevy Camaro Coupe give you $1,500 customer cash. Most of Chevy's cash back deals are not available with the financing offers, and the offers are valid if delivery is taken by 04/30/2020.

Cash back offers range from $1,500 to $4,500 based on the model, with top trims like the Laramie Longhorn and the Limited getting the $4,500 cash allowance discounts.
