Is the 4th of July a Good Time to Get a Great Deal on a Car?

Buying a new car can be exciting, but it is even more exciting when you're getting the new car that you want at a discount. This 4th of July weekend, several major manufacturers are offering big discounts on some of their most popular models, meaning you can save big on a brand new car.

Holiday weekends can be a great time to find good deals on everything — and that includes a discount on the MSRP of new vehicles. In the current market, the price of used vehicles is at the top of its bubble, seemingly ready to burst, making it almost just as reasonable to splurge on a brand new car rather than a used vehicle. With another holiday weekend coming up, does that mean you should be checking out the dealership lots to see if you can catch a great sale on a new car this 4th of July?

Things to keep in mind this 4th of July weekend

The 4th of July weekend deals could mean big savings, but it also means that many other buyers may be on the hunt for a good deal, too. Having an idea of what cars you want to look at, and even checking out the inventory of your local dealership before hand is a smart idea. Arrive early to the dealership to make sure your next car isn’t purchased by another buyer, and anticipate spending a bit more time as you could be sharing the sales person’s time with other potential buyers. In general, it isn’t a bad plan to expect to spend several hours doing test drives, financing, and filling out paperwork.
