The Hardest Vehicles to Negotiate Right Now
April 19, 2012
Despite the fact the current generation Hyundai Elantra is now in its third year of production, it is still the most in-demand vehicle right now, according to
Cars.com.
Each 2013 Elantra takes an average of only 3 days to sell once it hits dealer lots. That's even quicker than the hot-selling Toyota Prius c, which takes an average of 6 days.
The longer a vehicle takes to sell, the more negotiating room you have as a buyer. The average new vehicle today sits on the lot for 41 days before selling. The ones that sell the quickest are usually new models that are just starting to hit dealer showrooms. Waiting a few months before purchasing a hot seller will usually save you money as supplies slowly catch up to demand.
