The Best Time to Buy a Convertible
October 14, 2010
If you're looking for a used convertible, the worst time to buy is spring and early summer.
Most people interested in a drop top usually buy when the weather is warm.
But if you can hold off until later in the year - November, or better yet, December - you'll save quite a bit.
It's supply and demand: everyone wants a convertible as soon as the weather gets warm.
But as the temperature cools off, so does demand for convertibles.
Only downside - you won't find as good a selection when the mercury is low.
Christmas is the optimum buying time, given that most folks hold off on car purchases in general due to holiday expenses and travel.
