When is The Right Time To Buy a New

Car?

If you are in the market for a new car, chances are you are looking for a good deal.

It does not matter whether you want to get a tiny coupe to blaze down the highway or want a crossover utility luxury vehicle; it can be a big expense that you undoubtedly want to knock down to get the most for your dollar.

It can make all the difference to know exactly when the right time is to seek out your new vehicle.

Introduction

When most people think of December, they think of Christmas and getting the right gift for that special someone.

How many people do you know are jumping at the chance to get a car for that special someone?

December

Hardly anyone goes out to buy cars at the end of the year, so there are plenty of discounts and incentives available during this period.

In addition, dealers could also be trying to cut down on their inventory while others may be trying to hit an annual sales goal, so seek out these dealers who are obviously motivated to knock down the price of a new car.

December

In a similar vein to pricing cars around Christmas, you'll be able to find a better deal after the 25th of any given month.

This is for a similar reason as the above: Dealers need to meet a quota.

End of the Month

There are plenty of incentives given to dealers from the factory that relate to how many cars they are able to sell during a month, which makes them more incentivized to make large discounts.

End of the Month

Of course, one would be remiss to ignore the middle of the moth.

Here, sales can be slow, so you may be able to take advantage of some deals.

Mid-Month

If you have your eye on a particular model, wait until the next model releases.

Dealerships are generally pressured to get rid of the old models once the new cars come out, so this means you can expect better incentives, cash programs and rebates to take advantage of.

New Model Release

This is a good time to seek a new vehicle if the dealership did not sell as expected during the week.

Because salespeople are always looking to sell, they can offer some more flexibility with the pricing on this day.

Saturday Morning

On the other hand, the weekends generally have plenty of customers available, so dealers basically are shooting fish into a barrel.

With weekdays, however, the fish are scarce, which makes the salespeople more willing to give you attention and work with you as they are wrapped around your finger of mercy.

Weekdays

Similar to the release of a new models, car dealers are more than anxious to toss out the cars that are being completely redesigned for the next year.

When the design run is over, hop over to the dealership and start pricing the cars that are no longer in such high demand; expect to get a great deal here.
