December is the Best Time to Get a Great Deal
Many car shoppers don't realize dealers can get large incentives from the car manufacturers if they sell a certain number of cars each month, each quarter, or each year. Sometimes, dealers will sell a car below cost in order to qualify for these incentives.
December is especially a great time to buy because dealers are trying to meet not only monthly sales goals, but yearly sales goals as well. If you use our Car Buying Technique and contact as many dealers as you can, you're sure to stumble upon one of these desperate dealers.
