Do you think there is a good time of year to buy a car or a truck? Is it different depending on what type of vehicle you are buying?

I think probably fall. Isn't that when the new models for next year come out? I would think that is a good time because they want to get rid of all of last year's cars and make room for the new ones. It's still a brand new car, as in never driven, but last year's model.

I would have to say that location AND type of vehicle makes a difference. Here where winter is starting it's a great time to get a good deal on sports cars from individual sellers and any 2007 models from dealerships. People are probably trying to sell their sports cars to buy a 4x4 and so they'll take whatever money they can get and don't want to make room to store the sports car over the winter. Dealerships want to get rid of tghe 2007 models to make room for the 2008's. Spring is a great time to buy 4x4's.

Well, I can tell you that because I am in the family of an expert and he has told me repeatedly. The end of the year is the best time to buy a vehicle, no matter what kind. If you want a specific day of the week, Wednesday is the best time if you are buying a new car.

It depends on where you live, here in the Northeast, at this time of year you can get a real good deal on sports cars, since everyone who is purchasing a vehicle is looking for something more practical and 4x4. As spring approaches and summer, then sports cars are the hot item and sell for more. If you're selling like a truck, then this is the time of year to get the best price for it. So yes, there is a good time of year to buy a vehicle depending on where you live and what type of vehicle it is.
