The best time to buy a new car is before you find yourself desperately needing one. If you wait until your current vehicle has completely died or needs too many repairs to remain viable, you’ll find yourself in a stressful situation. You won’t have the time available to take a look around to find the best deal and the best car for you. If you’ve had your car for a while and know that upcoming repairs are looming in the not-too-distant future, it’s time to start shopping.
Shopping on the Weekdays
This is the best time to look for a new car. In many cases you can end up getting a better deal on a day of the week versus the weekend. There are less people shopping and fewer sales, so salespeople are more likely to bend a little more from Monday to Friday.
End of the Month
This is the time of the month when the dealerships are counting their total sales and would like the opportunity to squeeze in a few more. If you can wait until month end, you may just walk off with a new car that costs less than what you had expected.
Early Fall
If you are going to be purchasing a brand-new car, the new models are introduced late in the summer or early in the fall. Shopping then will give you access to the newest technology available, which is always being updated. This is especially important in terms of the safety features that are being added. If you have a family and are looking for the safest car to put on the road, start your shopping at this time of the year.
Remember that at all times it’s best to purchase a car before you desperately need one. You certainly won’t want to shop for a car in a state of panic.
