Q:  When Is The Best Time Of Year To Buy A New Car?

The answer is now through December 31st. There's a big push these last two months of the year to meet sales goals, which are tied to auto exec bonuses. Local dealers are also vying for #1 sales bragging rights in their own markets. Bottom line, the entire industry is pushing for the most possible sales.  When that happens, prices drop and you get great year-end incentives. So the time to start getting serious about buying this year is now.
