The Best Time to Car Shop
Did you know the time of year and month can make a big difference when purchasing a vehicle at the dealership. Timing your visit can get you some big discounts. You will still need to do some research before you head out for the dealer, but timing it right, can save you money!
End of the Month
One of the most common times to take advantage is during the end of the month, usually on the last business day. Most dealerships have end-of-the-month quotas for their salespeople to make. For this reason, dealers will sometimes shave a little off their asking price in order to boost their overall numbers.
End of the Year
On top of monthly sales quotas, dealers have yearly sales numbers to worry about. So the motivation for a dealer to move cars increases towards the end of the year. It�s also a good time to shop because most people are shopping for Christmas gifts, which means slow sales for the dealers.
End of the Model Year
Another great time to shop for cars is late spring and early summer. This is the time of year that manufacturers are getting ready to release the new models. Both Dealers and manufacturers want to clear the lots before all those new cars come in. Watch for great rebates and incentives, especially on the cars that didn�t sell too well during the year. Dealers also get great incentives from manufacturers at this time of the year. This allows the dealers to chop down their prices while retaining their margins. All these discounts can leads to a better deal for you!
