Tips for Buying a Car at the End of the Model Year

Tips for Buying a Car at the End of the Model Year in Greenville, SC

If you're planning on buying a new car, we know that you want to save as much money as possible on your purchase wherever possible. Despite the fact that a new car is an expensive investment, there are still plenty of great ways to save. One way is to purchase your car at the end of its model year, after the next year's model has been released. To learn more about how you can save using this method, read the following.

Look for Manufacturer Sales Events

Shopping at the end of the model year should help save you money either way, but keep an eye out for manufacturer sales events. Most brands offer special incentives like end-of-the-year model events or similar events, where bigger savings may be found.

Wait for the New Model Year to Drop

If you make it to the final quarter of the year, you won?t automatically receive year-end pricing on a new vehicle. New models are not released on a particular day or all at the same time, but rather, periodically. Once a vehicle has been released, you can begin to price shop last year's model.

Be Sure to Price Shop

Price shopping is important, as mentioned above. Because of this, you should compare prices for a variety of trims, as well as prices from other stores. Even though many buyers negotiate sales terms, it?s helpful to bring in quotes from other dealerships to help you secure the price you want.

Research Available Incentives

This method also applies to year-end manufacturer events. There are several ways you can save when shopping for a new vehicle, whether by special APR offers like 0% for a particular amount of time, or special bonus cash offers or $0-down leases. Research these events, and be sure to ask as many questions as you need to.
