# [Inside Look - It's the Last Weekend of the Month!](https://www.carpro.com/blog/inside-look-last-weekend-of-the-month-october)

It is that time of month again!  This is it, the last weekend of October.  Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn’t ask me is the end of the month *really *the best time to buy?

It’s a tough question because listeners to the [CarPro Show ](https://www.carpro.com/carpro-radio-show)always get below market prices, even now with the vehicle shortages. With that said, the mindsets of the dealers change in the final days of the month.  Inside a dealership, you have a lot of people trying to hit numbers, dealers trying to outsell their competitors, and in general an overall BIG PUSH to finish a month as strongly as possible.  In the car business, there is a saying:  *You are only as good as your last month.*

Already high trade-in values magically get better, dealers work harder for the best interest rates, and if you are credit-challenged, dealers *and* lenders work harder for approvals at this time of the month.

***OCTOBER ENDS TUESDAY NIGHT AND SO DO THE CURRENT INCENTIVES AND I AM 99% SURE THEY WILL DROP DUE TO THE UAW STRIKE!***

**If you have a trade-in, don’t miss these used car prices.  The sooner you trade, the more money you’ll realize.  I saw prices dropping last week at the auction, and the actual market will adjust to that soon.**
