When Do Memorial Day Car Sales Start?

It is uncommon for manufacturers or dealerships to begin advertising their Memorial Day sales too far in advance. You’ll probably begin learning about this year’s Chevy Memorial Day sale in early May. You’ll be able to find out more on your local Chevy dealership’s website.  

You can also find information from the manufacturer on the deals page of the official Chevrolet website. Be aware that sales and offers can vary by dealership, and discounts change from year to year. 

Are Car Dealerships Open on Memorial Day?

Yes, car dealerships are almost always open on Memorial Day!  

Memorial Day is a huge sales day in the automotive industry. Chevrolet dealerships, and most other dealerships, will be open bright and early to welcome interested buyers.  

Your local dealership is aware that many people have the day off from work due to the federal holiday. You should be able to stop in for a test drive throughout Memorial Day weekend. Many dealerships even offer extended hours for your convenience.

What Can I Expect From the Chevy Memorial Day Sale?

You’re unlikely to learn about the specific Memorial Day truck sales and discounts in advance. Manufacturers and dealerships tend to announce these closer to Memorial Day to create a sense of urgency and excitement. With that said, we took a look at previous years’ sales to give you an idea of what to expect. 

  • In 2023, consumers were able to get up to 10% off the sticker price of select Chevy models. 
  • Local dealerships offer Memorial Day car lease deals, featuring low monthly payments. 
  • Eligible Military personnel can receive incentives. These include bonus cash to use toward the purchase of a new or used vehicle.

Is May a Good Month to Buy a Car?

May is a great month to buy a car, especially if you’re okay with last year’s model. Memorial Day is at the intersection of spring and summer, which is when new models begin to arrive on showroom floors. Dealers are eager to clear their old inventory to make room for brand-new vehicles. As a result, you can take advantage of steep discounts on top of Memorial Day incentives. 

Plus, it’s always ideal to shop for a new or used car at the end of any month. That’s when salespeople are most eager to hit their monthly sales quotas. Memorial Day, which is always at the end of May, is an excellent opportunity to snag extra discounts.  

According to Kelley Blue Book, the average price of a new vehicle is steadily decreasing compared to previous years. Sales, discounts, and incentives are contributing to this impressive decrease. As a result, this year’s Chevy Memorial Day Sale may provide a uniquely low price on your dream truck or SUV.
