If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, you’re in luck—the summer season is the hottest time of year for an affordable selection of both new and used cars. Experts say the spring, by contrast, is the least economical, as the end of winter attracts eager buyers, often bearing tax refund checks. Whether you’re looking for a pickup truck or compact vehicle, be sure to check out the selection of cars for sale at your local dealership in the months ahead. You might just snag a major bargain.

Why Is Summer the Best Time to Look at Cars for Sale?

Most people head to the dealership during early spring, which means prospective buyers will have less selection and a lower chance of securing a special deal or offer. During summer, however, many people are ready to sell their car, but fewer head out to purchase a new one. As a result, you can take your pick of the lot, and are more likely to find the precise model you want.

August May Be the Best Month to Buy

In fact, experts say August is the best month of all to purchase a vehicle, as long as you’re not looking for a very high-end luxury model. If you’re looking for a mid-range car of the current or next year’s model year, then August is best.

Most dealers receive new shipments over the summer, which means you will have several options in terms of models, color, and special features. As the year progresses, these options will dwindle, and you may not be able to find exactly what you want, let alone at an affordable price point.
