Purchasing Car Before Memorial Day May be Best Option

In fact, the best time to buy may be right now. Incentives are historically high (thanks in large part to Toyota's recall woes) and showrooms are relatively empty, as many are waiting for Memorial Day sales events.
This two-week lull offers the best chance at uncrowded floors and particularly good deals. Plus, the big tent promotions don't always guarantee consumers end up with great deals.
Analysts at Edmunds.com note that sales bonanzas such as last summer's Cash-For-Clunkers program don't always have the price-cutting effect you might think. The frenzied atmosphere at the big events tends to drive up prices.
Take advantage of great incentive deals being offered right now, like rebates set aside for lease specials, zero percent financing, and hidden dealer cash.
The two-week lull before Memorial Day weekend is a rare opportunity, so if you're thinking of buying soon, now is the time to do it.
