Buying a car is the dream of many people, but the high price of a car is often prohibitive. But if you can grasp the best time to buy a car, you may be able to buy your favorite model at a more favorable price. So, when is the cheapest time to buy a car? This paper will analyze the peak season and promotion activities for you to help you find the best time to buy a car.

Before and after the spring festival

Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the golden seasons for car purchase. Before and after the Spring Festival, many automobile brands will launch various promotional activities to attract consumers. This is because during the Spring Festival, people usually have a considerable bonus or red envelope income, and they are more likely to buy big items such as cars at this time.

In addition, during the Spring Festival, car sales usually have a relatively low bottom, because many salespeople will go home for the New Year, resulting in relatively few sales activities. Therefore, if you can buy a car around the Spring Festival, you may get better price and service.

2. Mid-year promotion

Besides around the Spring Festival, there will be many promotional activities at other times of the year. For example, during e-commerce festivals such as "Double 1 1" and "6 18", many automobile brands will launch limited-time snapping and coupon activities. In addition, some automobile brands will also launch promotional activities on specific anniversaries or festivals, such as brand founding anniversary, National Day, Christmas and so on.

During these big promotions, automobile brands usually give large discounts and concessions to attract consumers. Therefore, if you can seize these opportunities, you may be able to buy your favorite model at a more favorable price.

3. Model replacement time

The competition in the automobile market is fierce, and many automobile brands regularly introduce new models to attract consumers. When a new model comes on the market, the price of the old model tends to fall. Therefore, if you are interested in the old models of a certain automobile brand, you can wait for the new models to come on the market before buying the old models, and the price will be more favorable.

In addition, car brands usually publish relevant information in advance and hold a new car launch conference before launching new models. At this time, you can know the release time and related information of new models by paying attention to the brand's automobile media and official channels, so as to prepare for buying a car.

4. Clear inventory at the end of the year

At the end of each year, many automobile brands will carry out clearance promotion activities. This is because car brands usually introduce new models and configurations in the new year, and they will give large discounts and concessions in order to clean up their inventory.

You may get last year's model at a very favorable price in the year-end clearance promotion. Although these models may not be the latest, their performance and configuration are usually very good. Therefore, if you are not particularly demanding on performance and configuration, the end of the year is a good time to clean up the inventory.
