Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now
February 16, 2012
As you're out shopping for a vehicle, you may notice that some models are hard to find on dealer lots.
It can be frustrating, especially if you haven't purchased a new car in several years. Things are very different these days; manufacturers have become more disciplined and are producing just enough vehicles to meet demand. It used to be they would create an oversupply, then pile on the incentives to help sell the excess vehicles.
Currently, some manufactures ar not even able to keep up with demand. For example, a typical 2012 Toyota RAV4 only stays on a dealer's lot for 6 days before it's sold. The average car normally takes about 34 days to sell.
You should try to postpone purchasing a vehicle that is in such high demand. Waiting a few months will usually save you a lot of money.
KickingTires has compiled a list of the fastest and slowest selling vehicles on the market today. If you want to get the best deals, it's best to avoid the fastest selling models and consider purchasing the slowest sellers.
