Ordering For Best Deals


BPM

Recommended Posts

Since you only get the rebates and incentives that are available at time of delivery, what's the best time to order to take a delivery near the end of December? The end of the year is typically the best time for rebates and such.

 

Obviously factors like Thanksgiving and Christmas play a part, but what do you think? Early November? Late September?

Since you are talking about ordering, I assume you are referring to a new 2009 model. If so, then Nov/Dec will be very early in the model year and won't have much for incentives.

 

If you are talking about a left over 2008 model, then Oct/Dec. will have good incentives. Actually, right now is a good time to get an '08 model. By Spring, some of the current incentives may be less attractive because sales normally improve by April/May and they are not needed to the same extent.

 

After December of the prior model year, incentives are reduced and dealers are paid final cash on leftover inventory. Up to you to make your best deal then.

 

If price is the only consideration, and last quarter looks like the right timing, go for a leftover '08.
