When is the best time to purchase a car? 🚗

I had heard that autumn was the best time because dealerships are looking to move old models out in lieu of the new ones -- is this (still) true?

No. The best deal is the one that exists. If you’re price shopping on a new car, you’re likely wasting your time. Just pay the MSRP, not more, and move on. Be smart with the manufacturer you choose. That’s key. Buy the car that is known to last the longest.

If it’s a used car, try to shop low miles. It’s better to pay a little more, or for a little longer, than to buy a vehicle with too many miles. Be careful though. Used cars are significantly overpriced in this market. “Value” has gone out the window.
