What is the best time to buy a used car?

Answer

The end of each month is a good time to buy a car because many of the lots want to get rid of their inventory. Also just before Christmas or the beginning of a new year. Just before Christmas is slow, and the beginning of the year the new models are coming out and they want to get rid of the older ones. Pick Fridays to set up a deal on a car you may be interested in. Fridays are usually good days for most because of the weekend coming up. Even though car salesmen work hard and on commission and most weekends they still go out for drinks and have a good time ... so pick that Friday if you can.

I bought a great Ford Taurus from a car dealership (1 year old and 16,000 klicks on it.) I asked the salemen when he would be going to an auction and so I went that route. You can also buy a demo car with low mileage. The salesman goes to the auction and picks out a car you have requested. I got a great deal on it doing it this way. The car was like new and I still have it (10 years now) and it purrs like a kitten with few mechanical problems.

Good luck Marcy
