Answer 1

when you need one

Answer 2

Best times to buy cars are at the end of the month, when sales figures are tallied for the bonus checks for the salesmen, and especially at the end of the model year for HUGE incentives to move the cars (and the end of the year around December). A 2007 Honda will get a better price around October when the 2008's start to hit the lots. If you can wait until last week of December, you should get a salesman dying to get you to buy it. The dealership pays taxes at the end of the year for cars on the lot, so they are motivated to move them. Honda's are popular, so don't expect half price! Watch the sales pages in your local paper, comparison shop, Internet shop, and don't be afraid to walk out on the sale two or three times until you get what you want. Look at NADA.com for a good idea what the car should cost with options, and look at the previous year's model to see how much it depreciated. You should expect $2000-4000 depreciation, so be ready to haggle until you get what you want. They don't get paid until you buy the car, and they know you can get their car from another dealer through intradealer trades. Make them earn your business. Good Luck

Rock Star,
Believe it or not, the best time to purchase a car is at the end of September, which coincidentally is the best time to buy a house too! Houses and cars fly off the market then. We sell nearly a quarter of our years cars in September. Prices are cheaper on cars and houses, because, the have the end of the month sales on cars, and because people want to sell and/or move in to a new house before the holidays roll along. Thanks for your time.

Answer 4

When the 08's come out and they are trying to get rid of last years model. Another thought, might be to buy one that is slightly used. With low miles. That way you will save even more and still have the same car. I have bought from rental car companies before. At least you know that they have been maintained properly and everything works on them.

Answer 5

There is never a best time to buy a car because it depends on how urgently you need it. If you have the time, shop & ask around before committing. Decide on the type of car you want, economical, compact, space, powerful & fast, family, sports, recreation.... :-)

Answer 6

When it is very hot, or very cold.

People don’t buy things when they don’t want to go out and look at them, car dealerships will be trying hard to make the bottom line, so they’ll hand over the cars for cheap and have great sales.
