5 Reasons September Is The Best Month To Buy A Car

We might not like to admit it but it is September already. This means Autumn is just around the corner, the sun is setting earlier and despite holding on to every last bit of sunshine we can, it is less frequent and not as hot as it has been. Not just that but the kids are returning to school and the summer holidays are long gone, but all is not lost.

You may be surprised to know that September is actually one of the best months of the year to buy a car, and not just because you’re trying to cheer yourself up after the summer. Read on to find out the 5 reasons why September is the best month to buy your next car:

There Is More Choice

With the first of the month signalling the new number plate change, more people are looking to buy or collect their new car. As a result of the increase in new car sales, more cars are part exchanged and therefore there are more available on the market. Not only does this mean more of the model you are looking for are available, but crucially more are likely to have just the right specification you are looking for. With more cars available it is likely that the prices will be more competitive as there are more examples on the market.

Dealerships Are Feeling The Pressure

The end of September is the end of another financial quarter and car dealerships are under pressure to meet targets whether they are main dealers, franchises or independent dealerships. This means that they are looking to register as many new cars as they can before the end of the month and as such often go to greater lengths to ensure they can seal your business. This puts the opportunity for negotiating in the buyer’s court and the dealership is much more likely to offer greater incentives to guarantee a sale, whether this is through a deposit contribution, a saving on the list price or including must have options for no extra cost.
