October 25, 2012
Transaction prices on new cars tend to fluctuate from month to month - mainly due to supply and demand issues. That being the case, it's a good idea to keep track of prices in order to time your purchase wisely.
Each month, TrueCar.com releases a list of vehicles that have seen the biggest price drops. For October, the largest price drop was over $2,200 for the 2012 Lexus IS 250C. Other vehicles with large price drops include the 2012 Infiniti FX35, BMW 6-Series, Nissan 370Z, and Nissan LEAF.
