Just like any other product that you buy there is a good time to buy it and a not so good. Usually the time to buy something is determined by the season and the seasonality of the product and the quantity of the products on the market. The car market operates in a similar fashion and the best time to be shopping for a new, and sometimes used, car is after the twenty-fifth of the month. Right around the twenty-fifth of the month the dealerships are looking at their inventory and determining how many cars need to be sold by the end of the month. If the dealership has had a slow month they may have a really large inventory to sell. That means a better savings for the buyer.

Having sold cars for a while I saw this go into effect month after month as the sales manager would call a meeting and announce that there were certain incentives on slow moving models. The slow moving models weren’t usually bad cars they were just not as in style as the newer models and may not have some of the accessories the newer ones do. You have to decide as a buyer whether those new gadgets are worth spending the extra money to have them or not. Most of the ones that I have seen, such as, a one hundred ten volt outlet inside the car to plug a shaver into, aren’t really worth the money and would rarely if ever be used. Some newer features are quite useful too like the side air bags. Something like that would be worth paying a little extra for. It could be a life saver.

Unless you are a real automobile buff you are probably just looking for transportation so you don’t need all of the pricey add-ons. Those pricey add-ons have another effect on the price of re-sale of the car. They don’t contribute to it at all. You could pay thousands more for some add-ons that don’t add value to the vehicle. Things like stripes, fender flares, and ground effect options are all worthless when you go to sell or trade in the vehicle. A good example of this is a car that my wife had to have. The car had a special ground effect option which actually lowered the vehicle clearance to the ground making navigating curbs that much more challenging. She had to have the ground effect painted several times because she always ended running up on a curb in a parking lot. The ground effect in her case cost an extra five hundred dollars when she bought the car and only added five dollars when she traded it in. Even though the ground effect was restored to like new condition by a body shop it would have been cheaper to have them remove it than fix it and trade the car in.

So when you are looking for a car it will help save you money if you know what you really need and shop for a car that meets your needs. Plan to go after the twenty-fifth of the month for the best savings.
