Is it cheaper to buy a car at the end or the beginning of the month?
1 Answers
Buying a car at the end of the month does indeed offer greater discounts compared to the beginning of the month. For some models, even if the discounts at the end of the month are not significantly higher, they are generally similar to those at the beginning of the month. Therefore, it's clear that purchasing a car at the end of the month can yield better deals. Of course, there's no need to strictly wait until the end of the month, as buying earlier means enjoying the car sooner. Below are some tips on the best times to buy a car: 1. Tip 1: Sales pressure at the end of the month is indeed greater than at the beginning. At the start of the month, 4S stores are less eager to sell, so discounts are often smaller than at the end of the month. By the end of the month, if certain models haven't met their sales targets, significant discounts may be offered. May is the first key period to watch, as May Day is the first major holiday of the year, and many large-scale promotions by 4S stores are held during this month. 2. Tip 2: June, July, and August are traditionally slow seasons for car sales each year, partly due to weather conditions. Another subtle but important period is the last ten days of June, which coincides with mid-year reviews—a challenging time for 4S stores. Bank loans and annual sales targets can also drive price reductions during this time. The next key period is September and October, when the cool autumn weather is ideal for consumers to shop for cars, and for sellers, it marks the second peak in annual sales. 3. Tip 3: The third key period is December, as the year-end approaches. Many 4S stores typically haven't met their annual sales targets by then, leading to increased discounts to achieve their goals. This is because only by meeting these targets can they receive their "year-end rebate benefits."
