Answer 2

If you are speaking of new.. then the best time is when the new model years come out in abundance.. when the 2008s start arriving.. then the 07s have to go.. the factories will put customer cash incentives on them.. and the dealers will discount them to the invoice.. now that is with domestic brands.. the way most imports work is this.. they will offer cash incentives to the dealers.. not the buyers.. toyota for instance and nissan will have some models they want to move.. they will offer the dealer an extra two grand that he can pass on to you if he wants to.. however most do not.. also the factory will put a special spiff (bonus to the salesman) on some models.. they will discount the car more.. but they will keep the incentives..and you will never know about them.. now the importers also will offer something in the neighborhood of lets say 1000 some models.. maybe even 2 grand but the bulk goes to the dealer.... on domestics you can really cash in.. the factory will give the dealer some incentive on the backside.. by discounting his base price.. and they will put some huge cash rebates on the slower moving models.. you can get about 4,500 on a new jeep model and the dealer will still discount it to the bare bones invoice price.... when you can buy at invoice and still get the cash.. that is what you want to do.. this usually peaks at about mid july and continues till all the current year models are gone.. the best time for me is when they are full of current year models and have the new ones comming in.. let them get jammed up full and then they will practically beg you to buy.. look up special offers on all models on line.. just go to ford.com or dodge.com etc and look for special offers on the models.. now remember this.. those guys (dealers) are in business to make money.. this is how you want to get the lowest price.. find a car that has the big rebate.. lets say 4 grand.. look at the msrp.. lets say 20,000.. the markup is about 6 percent.. in other words the dealers price is about 94 percent of the msrp.. so in this case there is a 1200 dollar mark up.. subtract that from the 20 grand and you should be able to buy it for 18,800 plus tax and tag.. now if you have a trade in.. and your equity in it is lets say 500 bucks.. that would be the difference between what you owe on it and what it is worth wholesale.. they will only give you wholesale for your trade in.. okay you have a 5,000 dollar car.. you owe 4,500.. you have 500 dollars equity.. negotiate the selling price of the new car to 18,880.. subtract the 500 and you get 18,300.. that is your buying price.. but don't forget you still have the 4,500 rebate to use anyway you want.. make the deal.. do your own financing at a bank if you can.. buy the car 18,300.. and take the rebate.. it is an instant rebate.. the dealer writes you a check.. you buy the car for invoice.. you do your own financing and you pocket the rebate... with the cash.. go buy a one thousand dollar gift card.. and use it for gas.. put the other 3,500 in your pocket or use it for more downpayment or to pay the taxes.. do not buy an extended warrenty.. do not let the dealer finance guy hit you at a higher interest rate.. do not let them put A&H insurance on the note.. do not let them give you a trade in allowance off the msrp.. neogiate the price down.. and then subtact the trade in.. buy when the rebates are high and he discounts are deep.. that is the best time.. between now and sept.. good luck..

Answer 3

Any time you can spend the most comfortable leisurely time looking at them in the sun (not in the rain) and without pressure. At least thats the best time to look and test drive

Obviously sales are good but you should know what you want by then. You won't find every feature you want in the in stock models but the money you save will pay for those items to be added later. have a checklist of "must haves" and "would be nice" .

The biggest sales are often around holidays and long weekends
.
Whether new or used do NOT ask them for add-ons to any model that they already have in stock if you can avoid it. take that model in stock. the only thing it might be worth having done by them is changing the color.

Things like electronics --- Stereos GPS, alarms --- are better purchased and installed aftermarket anyway. better price, selection and quality available from big names like PIONEER, JVC etc

Answer 4

That depends on you. If you want the latest and greatest then I would say around late August, to get next years model first. Other people feel that they can get a good deal on last years models around the same time. Others, will want to wait until after the first of the year to get last years model, trying to save the most that they can.

The best time to buy a car is when you need it. When your old car breaks down and you don't want to spend anymore money on it. good luck.

Answer 5

In the fall when the new models are arriving at the dealerships. End of any month is the best time of the month , on rainy days or bad weather days, Christmas Day is a really good day to get a good deal.

Answer 6

Generally in October and November, dealers are moving there stock, making room for the following year's cars.

Answer 7

Summer, because the new models will be coming out and they want to get rid of them.

But for used cars, I dunno.
