Knowing the best time to buy and whether to choose a new or pre-owned vehicle can help you get a great deal and save money in the long run. The best time to buy depends on a few key factors like inventory, car pricing, current specials, and other things. If you're in the market to buy, we'll help you identify the right time to strike at Williams Hyundai.

The Earlier, the Better

Honestly, we roll out our most favorable deals during the beginning weeks of the month. Why? Because it's usually when our inventory is the highest, and you know the laws of supply and demand, right? When supply is high, demand is low, and prices are low. When supplies are low, demand is high, and prices are higher.

When you see special dealership offers, it's because we have a lot of similar models in stock, and we need to get them out. When do we have the highest inventory at Williams Hyundai? It's generally within the first one or two weeks of the month. That's when you'll find some pretty incredible deals for new and used vehicles near Owosso here at our Hyundai dealership.

Holiday Sales Events

There's always something going on during the holidays at our Hyundai dealership near Flint. Holidays are another prime time to buy a car. Dealerships tend to run special promotions around major holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Christmas, New Year, etc.

Even outside of Lansing, you may find attractive holiday offers at dealerships in Flint, Ann Arbor, and beyond. Be sure to do your research and compare promotions at multiple dealerships in the area.

New Model Year Changeover

When a new model year of a vehicle is released, dealerships are eager to sell off any remaining inventory of the outgoing model year. This often happens in late summer or early fall. If you're open to buying the previous year's model, you may be able to get a significant discount as dealerships make room for new model year inventory.

New vs. Used Vehicles: Which is Right for You?

In addition to figuring out when to buy, it's important to consider whether a new or pre-owned vehicle is the best choice for your needs and budget. There are benefits to both options.

Buying a new car means you'll have a full warranty, the latest features and technology, and the peace of mind that comes with being the first owner. New cars also often have special financing deals available.

On the other hand, used cars are typically less expensive than new models and depreciate more slowly. You may be able to get more features for your money with a pre-owned vehicle. Certified pre-owned cars can offer some of the same benefits as buying new, like a warranty and roadside assistance.

Ultimately, whether to buy new or used depends on your individual situation. Consider your budget, how long you plan to keep the vehicle, and which features are most important to you. The team at Williams Hyundai can show you a variety of new and pre-owned options and help you weigh the pros and cons.
