The Best Time to Buy a Convertible

Most people interested in a drop top usually buy when the weather is warm.
But if you can hold off until later in the year - November, or better yet, December - you'll save quite a bit.
It's supply and demand: everyone wants a convertible as soon as the weather gets warm.
But as the temperature cools off, so does demand for convertibles.
Only downside - you won't find as good a selection when the mercury is low.
Christmas is the optimum buying time, given that most folks hold off on car purchases in general due to holiday expenses and travel.
My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, RydeShopper, and CarsDirect are the best way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
