What Is the Best Time of Year to Buy a Pre-Owned Car?
Most automotive dealers agree that January is the best time of year to buy a pre-owned vehicle.
Why? The average salesperson has just celebrated meeting their end-of-year sales goals. If they were successful, they managed to clear their lot of older models. Their goal was to make room for the latest and greatest cars on the market.
In order for people to buy those cars, however, most had to sell an older vehicle first. Thus, dealerships find themselves with an influx of pre-owned or used cars. That means there are more pre-owned cars on the market, and supply may exceed demand.
You’ll find the best selection at the best prices. Likewise, dealerships are likely to provide incentives to encourage buyers to consider those used cars.
As a result, January is the perfect time to shop for a pre-owned vehicle.
What Is the Best Time of Year to Buy a New Car?
You’ll find many discounts on new cars in January, too. New Years is one of the holidays with the highest number of discounts in the industry.
Be aware that those discounts grow scarce as you get deeper into the winter months. If you’re going to commit to a vehicle this year, consider saying “Happy New Year” with a car!
If you can wait, the best time of year to buy a new car is in the fourth quarter of the year. You’ll find the best sales and steepest discounts in December. However, you’ll see incredible discounts as early as October, when the automotive year begins.
