Finding A Sale (Return to Contents)

When looking for a new car, there are times during the year when you will find larger discounts. At the end of the year, dealerships will begin receiving the next year’s stock. They will have to sell the remainder of this year’s cars in order to make room on the lot. During the months of September, October, November, and December, you will be able to buy a car for a substantial discount.

Dealerships will also have sales at the beginning of spring and during certain holidays. They will advertise these sales, so you should take advantage of them when they arrive. Manufacturers have begun to offer employee pricing sales during the year to help boost car sales. These are sales that for years were reserved for employees only. You could save a lot of money during these sales as well.
