Is Now A Good Time To Buy A Car?

Is Now A Good Time To Buy A Car? The short answer. Yes. 

Now Is Definitely A Smart Time to Buy New Vehicle

Right now, auto manufacturers and car dealerships are offering very large incentives on new vehicles. This is to spur sales in response to much lower consumer demand as a result of Covid-19.  Many auto manufacture lenders are offering interest rates at 0% interest APR for up to to 84 months. In addition, consumers also have programs available that feature no car payments for up to 6 months.  Auto dealerships are also discounting the sale prices of virtually all their in-stock inventory.  Consumers are realizing a substantial reduction in both the monthly payments as well as the overall price of the vehicle.

It Is Also a Great Time to Buy Used Vehicle

Used car prices are relative to market demand. These prices can be seen by several Used Vehicle pricing tools available on the internet.  Kelly Blue Book is considered by many to be the most reliable source of Used Vehicles values.  As a result of the current economic situation, used vehicle values on Kelly Blue Book have been lowered by an average of 12%.  So, if you’re considering purchasing a used vehicle, now is the time to do it. You’ll get a nicer used car for less money than at the beginning of 2020.

Buying a Vehicle Online
