New or used? Dealer or online? Buy or lease? Loan or no loan? Best time? There are many questions when it comes to buying a car, as this is a big commitment.

Here, we delve into those questions and offer information to help you make car-buying decisions that are right for you.

Best Time

The traditional advice about buying a car at the “best” time includes:
  • at the end of the year
  • during holidays, such as July Fourth, Labor Day, or Memorial Day
  • when dealers are trying to meet their sales quotas
  • on weekdays, when dealers aren’t as busy
  • when dealerships are offering additional perks and discounts
But times have changed.
