I have bought my last 3 vehicles the last week or day of the year with outstanding results, $12, 000 off a new Ram Big Horn Edition (March), $5000 off a new Malibu, $6000 off my Hemi Challenger with 14K miles with 2.99% rate & $9000 off my new Maxima SV. It pays to be patient!

I bought a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon on December 28th, 2015. It was obviously the "old" Jeep on the lot because of the 2016 models available. So they dropped the price just slightly like you are mentioning. The advantage you forgot to mention was the mileage. The Jeep according to resale was a full-year-old even though it was still brand new. This means now that it is 2020 my total mileage for resale is lower than most other 2015 model vehicles.

when is the best time to buy a new car??? 14 minutes and nothing

[codyv]

Damn dude... love the content... ABSOLUTELY HATE DOUBLE ADS EVERY THREE MINUTES... I don’t mind two or three ads in a 15 minute video, but come on man.

Sorry if already mentioned, but the 1 yr older model Year is a lot cheaper when it comes to excise tax.

your caption says "best time of year to buy a car" and all u kept saying there really is not a good time to buy a car. make zero sense for the title of this video

[scottback]

How about a video about dealers with “no-haggle” pricing?
Is it really “no-haggle”?

[milestraysandor]

Most of this does make some kind of sense. I do agree on the "Do your research" bit on a new car. Look to see if the car is going to get / just went through a redesign or mid cycle refresh and decide for yourself whether spending the extra money to get the brand new model year is worth it. Or compromise and get last year's fully loaded trim (Where you're probably not missing all that much on the new model unless the car's getting a redesign next year)

If you're looking at a last year's model car(As brand new), YOU are the one who usually holds the upper hand on the negotiating side. $1500 off is a starting point, but it depends on what kind of car you're getting too - It makes more sense to start negotiating $1500~2500 off a Toyota Corolla LE that stickers for $20k... Not so much if you're looking to get a luxury car or a pickup truck that stickers for $50k or more - that you probably want to start at more like $3000~5000 off sticker.

It's the same with used cars too. Right now are cars from the previous generation hitting the dealer lots as people turn in their leases? That's usually the sweet spot if you're looking for a good bargain to get a used/certified car that doesn't have too many miles on it - and has already taken the initial depreciation hit. Yeah it's not new - but chances are if you're buying a used/certified car you weren't likely to go out and buy a new car anyways.

DO YOUR RESEARCH!

best time to buy a car is if you dont have a car and your profession/work will benefit you on having one

The company I work for buys me a truck every 5 years always November 08 Ram 1500 sticker 37k 17 k off 2014 Ram 42k 8500 off 2019 52k 10 k off FYI the first 2 trucks are still running with over 250k on them

But Ben...I am in the market for a Tundra and almost wanted the TRD PRO but the price held me back a little while researched more. But at the end of last year I was seeing $5000.00+ off of some TRD Sport models and $4000+ off some Off Road models of the Tundra. I want that same deal but not seeing quite that good of discounts right now across the board. what do you think....I'm buying new because they used Tundra's 1-3 years old are priced too close to the new ones with incentives.

Thanks for doing the video in your truck again. It's like your office now! 👍

I got a brand new 2019 BMW M5 over the weekend with a crazy deal. I got iDrive 7 vs 6 but I didn't mind. 😁

[Tony-hfmv]

Easy, when you have a job and good credit.

[sptrader]

How do we find out how long a car has been on the lot ?

[VentiTimes]

Really needed this! Looking to buy a 2014 Mustang GT. Thank you Ben for your informative videos

[bulldogs]

can you do a video on best time to trade in or how to get max value for your trade. thanks

[firmbeliever]

what do they do with the vehicles that didnt sell? where are they?

[rocoroco]

1500 depreciation are u kidding me more 5000 or more soon as drive off

[keithncollins]

What about employee pricing? I know ram did it in the fall. Also how would special ordering during that time work? Would you get employee pricing at the time you order or does the vehicle need to be delivered?
