Sales incentives offered on new cars dropped nearly 4 percent in October in the U.S. market, contributing to the expected weak showing for retail vehicle sales.
Auto industry tracking service Edmunds.com estimated that the average manufacturer incentive was $2,195, down $89, or 3.9 percent, from a month earlier.

"Incentive averages declined because the majority of vehicles being sold now are 2008 model year and don't require overly generous marketing support," said Jesse Toprak, executive director of industry analysis for Edmunds.com.
