The Fastest and Slowest-Selling Cars Right Now

Consumer demand for a vehicle can really drive up the price. It's important to know which vehicles are in highest demand, and which ones aren't selling well.

By timing your car purchase, you can save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. TrueCar has put together a list of vehicles that are selling quickest and slowest right now.

The average number of days it takes to sell a new car is 48 days. The 2012 Toyota Prius, which is very popular, takes on average only 10 days to sell. Meanwhile, a Mitsubishi outlander takes 107 days. It's no mystery which one sells at a bigger discount.

Here is a current list of the quickest and slowest-selling vehicles for 2012:
