Guide to year-end car buying

December new car buying leasing deals savings

December is historically the month when manufacturers provide extra incentives to move vehicles and make their annual numbers look strong. Luxury brands in particular use year-end specials to clear out inventory and bolster interest in new models, spending extensively on campaigns such as Lexus’ “December to Remember,” BMW’s “Happier New Year” and Mercedes-Benz’ “Winter Event.”

With a surplus of new vehicles, for the first time in nearly three years, 2023’s year-end car deals can yield you significantly more in savings. More cars means more competition between dealerships, giving you the chance to drive off into the sunset with your ideal car with significantly more savings in your pocket thanks to Cartelligent.

Understanding new car ads is still difficult to fully evaluate unless you’ve been in the auto industry for years. Luckily you have Cartelligent on your side to help you navigate the murky waters of year-end car buying! Our team of new car experts can easily identify if the ad you’re eyeing is a good deal and work on your behalf to get you a better deal and better car shopping experience than you can get on your own.

To make this holiday season one to remember, prepare for your initial call with Cartelligent by starting your search as early as possible, list a few make and models you are interested in, and consider taking advantage of lease-specific incentives for more savings.

Start Your Search Early

With our expertise and volume, we can negotiate sweeter “End of the Year” deals for you with many brands all month long. We can often reserve and secure a car for you that is in transit from the factory and still allow you to take advantage of year-end savings. If you wait until the last week to start your search, the remaining discounted cars in inventory may be less popular models and colors.

To ensure you get a better selection, get in touch with us as early as possible. Calling early increases the likelihood of getting the car you want at a great price.

Consider Multiple Manufacturers

Because each manufacturer has its own incentives and financing offers, we can show there is a much better deal on a similar car made by a competing brand. Opening your search to other brands may result in a better deal on a similar vehicle.
If you’re unsure whether an alternative manufacturer is for you, our team of car-buying advisors are available to discuss the pros and cons of all your options.

Leasing May Yield Additional Savings

Cartelligent can help you take advantage of a number of lease-specific incentives that can save you thousands of dollars off the price of the car. We can help you get out of your current lease early!

Your Cartelligent advisor can help you with additional information about your specific brand and help you prepare to return your leased car.
