When is the best time of year to buy a car? (and why)


By Perri Ormont Blumberg

You can save thousands of dollars on a new car by purchasing it at the right time of year.

Typically, the best time to buy a new car is when the new version of that same vehicle is about to go on sale, so dealers will want to free up space for new models. The closer you get to the new model’s arrival date, the more you can save on older models, said Lori Wittman, president of retail solutions at Cox Automotive.
