Buying a car is a major purchase, but did you know that timing your purchase right can save you money? At Steve Hopkins Honda, conveniently located at 2499 Auto Mall Parkway in Fairfield, CA, we want to help you get the best deal possible on your next vehicle. Here's a look at some of the best times of year to buy a car.
End of the Month and Quarter
Dealerships often have sales goals they need to hit by the end of each month and quarter. If they haven't yet reached those targets toward the end of those periods, you may be able to negotiate a better deal as they look to boost their numbers. Salespeople may be more motivated to work with you.
Holiday Weekends
Certain holiday weekends like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day often feature special promotions and incentives from car manufacturers. Dealerships may be looking to capitalize on the extra foot traffic during these times. Black Friday in late November can also be a prime car-buying occasion as dealerships look to clear out inventory before the end of the year.
Model Changeover
In the early fall, next year's new models start arriving at dealerships. In order to make room for this new inventory, dealers will often provide incentives and discounts on the outgoing model year vehicles still on the lot. If you don't mind driving last year's model, you can find some great opportunities to save.
End of Year Sales
The final weeks of December are often one of the best times to buy. Car salespeople and dealerships are looking to meet their annual sales goals and quotas. This can make them more willing to negotiate and offer significant discounts in order to close deals before the new year arrives.
