What’s the best time to buy a car?
The best time of year to buy a car is typically October through December, when dealerships offer discounts to clear out inventory and meet annual sales goals. Car salespeople have quarterly targets to hit, so if you visit a dealership in the last month of a financial quarter (March, June, September, or December), you may find they’re more eager to offer you a good deal. The offers may be even better in March and September, when the dealerships are keen to clear old stock.
