The Best Holiday Sales Events
With Labor Day gone, Thanksgiving is the next holiday weekend to look forward to. Soon, all your local dealerships will put up signs for the next big holiday sale. Here are the big days to watch out for to get the best deals for both used and new cars.
Thanksgiving Sales
You may see dealerships offer big blowout Thanksgiving sales. Make sure not to miss these sales just because they’re the first ones! Dealerships actually offer great deals on cars near Thanksgiving. Instead of stuffing your face, why not spend the day at a car dealership and save some major bucks?
Black Friday Blowout Sales
Black Friday follows Thanksgiving, and most sales will extend through the weekend. If you don’t want to leave your family on Thanksgiving, check your dealership to see if they have another sale on Black Friday. Black Friday has a reputation for offering the biggest sales, and car dealerships aren’t an exception. Some dealers throw in a little extra for you if you close a deal near Black Friday.
Cyber Monday
Made popular by marketing gurus, Cyber Monday is your last chance to get great online deals for items that you missed during Thanksgiving weekend. Car dealerships can sweeten the deal for you if you buy online. This works out best for you, since you can check out dealerships from other cities. Some will deliver the car right to your door! Don’t waste time and start browsing for the deal that works for you.
Christmas Eve Sales
Christmas Eve is usually reserved for crammed last-minute gift shopping, but consider planning ahead and take a trip to a car dealership. This may be your best bet when buying a car during the holidays. With so few customers taking the time to visit on Christmas Eve, you can expect the salesmen to be extra cooperative, and they may throw in extra offers and cash back not advertised online. Also, with the new models on their mind, the salesmen will be in a hurry to sell their current stock and are more likely to give you rebates and cash back. If you want a great deal, wait for Christmas. Santa will have a special deal for you.
New Year’s Bonanza
By the end of the year, dealerships are scrambling to meet their year-end quotas. Take advantage of this to get the best price on your favorite car, as they may have other offers to clear their stock. Patience pays off. In this case, staying patient until New Year’s Eve can pay off in big savings and cashback offers. These deals are worth the wait. Even Forbes magazine suggests that New Year’s Eve is the best time to buy a car.
These are the biggest sales events for the upcoming holiday season. If you plan to buy a car soon, take advantage of any of these events to get a great deal on both used and new vehicles. Make sure to value your car a few days before the holidays if you want to trade it in. This will save you time if you decide to exchange a vehicle.
