March, june, sept and december?
Early January. You can negotiate much better against low buyer turnout and high inventory.
More incentives for Electric.
What type of car are you considering? At this point anything other than all electric will be obsolete in 5 years and be on an accelerated depreciation curve.
For new cars: End of the year is the best time. Dealerships are trying to get rid of inventory to make room for the new yearsâ models. Also regarding the quota comment: Not necessarily true. Certain manufacturers offer kickbacks to dealerships if they can meet a monthly (or quarterly) quota of a certain type of car sold. But the public wonât know exactly on what date that incentive ends. Thatâs why dealers will randomly offer crazy good discounts â because theyâre in a rush to meet that quota before it expires. These are called dealer incentives and only dealerships know about them (not public knowledge). Lots of different types of them, actually. If you have any friends who work at dealerships, theyâd know.
July 4th sales.
You can wait until end of June, or buy around November. Should be able to get heavy discounts. However, if you are buying a Tesla, get that delivery before June 30 to get $3700 in federal tax rebate. Dm me for a referral.
What model do you have?
The cheapest one. Low TC.
Month of August. Btw, use Truecar to find best price. If youâre in SoCal try dealerships in Riverside county.
Carsdirect.com is also a good reference.
End of quarter is what I heard. Because they have to meet their quota.
Thatâs correct. End of month and then end of quarter. Source: former car salesman works with me.
