Answer 2

One can buy a car any day of the year and it's proper. If you're looking for a great deal then any day of the year is good too, providing you know how to make a good deal. Generally speaking, the end of the manufactures model year can be a great way to make a deal since dealers are motivated to move their inventory plus many car manufactures offer incentives from the factory so one can get even a bigger discount. This close out of previous model year runs from August to November depending on the manufacture. A little known secret to making a good deal is to purchase a car at the end of the month when many dealers have to meet their quotas. Now don't say I told you this secret. This is between you and I only. These car buying tips should get me the 10 points please. PS. I like Luvs_Lux answer too.

End of month is a great time to BUY your new car, but it is NOT the best time to make your first dealership visit. Salesmen do try harder to make sales at the end of the month, which is about the last five days of the calendar month.

In addition to the end of the month, there are better and worse times of the year to buy. Best time of the year to buy is the end of December, in most dealerships. Dealerships try to make specific quotas for end of month AND end of calendar year, and it is not a popular time to buy, so sales can slump seriously and they will try harder to make a sale, which means a better bargain. If you shy away from buying in the winter because of bad weather, think again: bad weather is when you WANT to be in the car, testing it’s foul weather capabilities.

Other good times of year to buy are end of August and end of September because the old models are taking up space on the dealership property, and they want to make room for the new models to come in. If your heart is not set on a brand new model, this is an excellent time to buy a perfectly good new car that happens to have been manufactured a few months earlier.

There is a very important BUT to this end of month advice: Do NOT make your very first visit to the dealership at the end of the month. Go to the dealership at the beginning or middle of the month, test drive the cars, get some info, then go home and give yourself two to three weeks to get the best financing. THEN go back at month's end armed with full information and a buying plan. Give yourself a day or two extra in case the first dealership doesn't work out and you need to go to another one. This is a big purchase, don't try to do it all in an afternoon!

Answer 4

When you want/need a new car.

Though of course the person who said January might be surprised to find that the car that people who buy in January will get was made in the previous year and so will be worth less on the second hand market.

Answer 5

It depends on what car it is! If it is a 4x4 then now may not be the best time, sometime early spring or autumn are best. On the other hand, convertibles and expensive to run cars are normally cheaper no, since it is cold. Air conditioning cars will be mor expensive in the months appraoch summer or during summer.
