Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now
As we move into October, most dealers have started selling some 2012 models.
The bad news is that most of these new models are commanding high prices due to their low supply.
If you've been shopping for a 2012 model, you know that some are very difficult to find in the colors and options you desire.
We've compiled a list of the Best and Worst cars to consider right now based on negotiation flexibility.
The cars that are on the Worst list have very low inventory numbers and tend to sell very quickly. It's best to hold off buying for a few months if you're considering one of these models.
On our Best Cars list are the models that no one seems to want to buy right now, but which present a great buying opportunity for those that do.
As always, be sure to use our Car Negotiation Method to land the best possible deal.
