When the new year models come out. Or at the end of the month when car salesmans need to meet their sales quota and want to make some money

The month you need it.
New cars have "seasons", based largely around when the new year models come out (used to be fall, but manufacturers are pushing it earlier and earlier). Used cars are ALWAYS being sold, and people ALWAYS need the money for them.
If it is a dealership who has the car, get them to knock 2 grand off the sticker price, they pack at least that much on over what they bought it for. If it is a person, they may just be breaking even, and you might not be abe to negotiate as much.
Just do your homework on values, make sure the car is right for you, the rest will fall into place. Buy when you need it.

It will depend on which state you are living. Dealers are required to pay personalty tax (a kind of property tax) on the vehicles they have on their lots. Accordingly, they want to reduce the number of vehicles before the tax assessment day. The assessment day could differ from state to state. If you go to a user car dealer right before the assessment day, you will have a higher chance of getting a good deal.

December or January, nobody is buying any cars then. So car dealers really want to sell there cars.

feb/march or aug/sept, just before or after new reg comes out, as dealers want rid of stock, or private sellers are looking to buy new cars
