Is There Really 'A Best Time' To Buy A Car?

We all know that Black Friday is supposed to be the best day for Christmas shopping deals, but is there a Black Friday for car shopping?  I could answer this question with a one word answer, ‘NO’…but let’s dig a little deeper. 

Have you ever heard a couple of these Auto Industry Urban Legends?

‘You can get a better deal when you shop first thing in the morning.’

Or the opposite, ‘You’ll get a better deal at the end of the day when the salespeople are vying for their last sale.’

‘Shop at the end of the month.  The salespeople have quotas so you’ll get a better deal.’

If it could only be that clear cut!

Now, there are times of the year when there are more vehicle sales, but it doesn’t mean these purchases render great savings.  At tax refund time, cash in hand makes for a great time to put money down on a used vehicle, if not buy one outright.  HOWEVER, if there is a high demand for used cars at that particular time of year, and the supply is low…you can kiss the savings goodbye.  As with any other commodity, when the supply is high and demand can’t keep up with supply, the prices generally go UP.

Perhaps you are in the market to buy a new vehicle.  It’s safe to say the older designs that are nearing the end of their production lives are often times the most heavily discounted by their manufacturers.  For example, I received thousands of dollars in savings when I purchased my Lincoln Aviator simply because they were no longer going to be manufacturing that vehicle. 

But with ‘used’ vehicles, is there ever really a better time to buy in order to reap those great savings?  Maybe not, but by knowing where to find the ‘best’ deals could be the answer.

Websites that help weed out known bargains are a great place to start your search.  Companies, such as Autosaver.com, use their trademarked technology called ‘Value Range Pricing’.  This site in particular, lets the consumer know if the vehicle they are looking to purchase is actually a good buy.  Be on the look-out, this new site is sure to take the auto industry by storm, and will also be the feature of a future blog all its own. With technology like this, we could experience Black Friday savings everyday in the auto industry!
