Top Tip: When To Buy That New Car
Buying a new car is a double-edged sword if ever there was one – it’s extremely exciting, but it can also be rather nerve-wracking to make such a big investment. As such, it makes sense to evaluate all your options very carefully before you sign on the dotted line and drive off in your new vehicle.
We all know you need to consider the make and model, warranties and guarantees very thoroughly, but did you know that there are certain times of the year (and month) that could be a better time to make your purchase? Here are a few top tips in this regard:
THE BEST TIME TO GET A GREAT DEAL ON A NEW CAR IN 2020
The End of the Year
December is a great time to shop around for good deals on new cars. Auto dealers prefer to carry as little inventory as possible into the new year. As such, they are very well motivated to meet consumers halfway in terms of deal structuring. That’s not to say that they won’t go the extra mile throughout the rest of the year, but there is a little added incentive to clear the showroom floor before the clock strikes 00:00 on December 31st.
The End of the Month
The same concept applies around the end of the month throughout the rest of the year. Sales personnel at dealerships have targets they have to reach each month and are very likely to provide you with excellent support and service at a time when they need to dot their i’s and cross their t’s before month-end rolls around.
During Model Changeovers
When a new model of a certain vehicle hits the market, the previous version thereof normally becomes available at a very attractive price. The reason for this is quite simple – the new model will be drawing crowds, while the older model will become less sought after. As such, if you are willing to go without the new bells and whistles on the updated model, you are very likely to get a very good deal.
