Now that Fall is in full swing; we can all agree that new car dealerships are looking to move their existing inventory for 2022 to make room for 2023 models. That also means used car buying can be a far more attainable goal for many car buyers because used vehicle pricing gets highly competitive this time of year.

It’s also important to remember that pricing varies from one dealership to another. So don’t get discouraged if you still see prices at some dealerships swinging for the fences.

Today we’ll talk about why buying used cars in the Fall is best!

Buy Used in the Fall

In a worst-case scenario, most Americans are not prepared to buy a new car until their existing one dies or becomes too expensive to continue repairing. It’s a formula that could have you overpaying for a new-to-you used car.

But before you run out and buy the first used vehicle you
test drive, consider these points about the cyclical effects of the automobile industry.

• Used car demands begin to drop in the
  fourth quarter of each year

• Most new car buyers looking to trade
  in their existing model for a new one

• Competitively, dealerships offer more
  deals during the Fall months

Fall is the Time to Buy Used

Like retailers, car dealerships offer sales incentives during peak shopping periods yearly. However, there are three top peak
sales days:

• Black Friday deals
• Veterans Day
• Thanksgiving Day

If you’re looking for the best holiday deals, there are generally 30% more holiday deals during these three days than at any other time of the year. Not to mention all three days fall in November. In addition, you could save as much as 5% or more on a new-to-you used vehicle.
