Buying a car on Black Friday?

Here is an article that may be of use:

Whether or not the deals on Black Friday are really any better than other times during November/December, the key is to start shopping now so that you know the prices and deals that are available so that you can compare.  Never assume that a deal on a car is great just because a car salesman tells you it is, or because they slap the terms "Black Friday" on an ad.

 

And as the article says, Black Friday is for buying, not for shopping, so start your research now.  (This should apply to everything on Black Friday, but especially a car purchase.)

Most of them just seem to do some sort of giveaway, like the year I leased my new truck they were giving away 50" TV's to the first so many customers. Our friend who is a sales guy told me better prices are end of year when they are trying to up their finances. He said they want to move more units.

I would think late December is the best time. I have been watching the prices myself and many dealers are offering $3000 off of most 2016 models. Unless you absolutely need a 2017, especially if they are doing a major upgrade to the looks or discontinuing the model the prices are going to continue to drop on the 2016s. I'm watching, but not ready to pull the trigger on a deal just yet.

We started our dealing last Wednesday (day before turkey day) and are still working on it. Car we wanted turned out to already be sold, so we had to pick another car out and so forth. HOPEFULLY we can get everything worked out in the next day or so and be done with this. Nice thing is we are doing it all online so we aren't spending needless hours in the dealer with people pretending to haggle and actually probably talking about sports scores lol.
