avsfan Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Has anyone bought a car on Black Friday? Are there really better deals than on other days?
smorebore Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 I'm watching for this too. I remember last year thinking that it was a great time for deals. There are still many links from last year for comparison.
mcwalker Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Here is an article that may be of use: http://www.edmunds.com/car-buying/black-friday-car-shopping-tips.html 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.)
speeddiva Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Never bought one on BF but I got a great deal on December 26th once. Dealership was dead and they wanted to sell cars before the end of the year.
eileenrich Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Oh yes!! We bought one just an hour before CLOSING!! THEY'LL deal, got the lowest price on the car we wanted, but we had to drive an hour away to the dealer that had it! Well worth it!
cllehto Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Are Black Friday car deals better than internet pricing?
Kanyon71 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 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.
len_mullen Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 I just got an email with a 48" TV giveaway. I guess Black Friday is dying
Kanyon71 Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 You didn't hear about it? I thought everyone knew it to be so.
mommy2twingles Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 One of the dealers here is opening at 5 am and giving 50 in tvs with any car sale.
TazErase Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 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. 1

Kanyon71 Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 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. 1
Pnambic Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 I haven't taken delivery yet, but this is the truck... http://images.usedcarsgroup.com/2016-ford-f_150-exeter-nh-i2638034121037046596-3.jpg That's a nice looking truck!
