HPI’s Tip of the Week: It’s all in the timing

There are certain times of year when you are more likely to drive yourself a bargain. Plate changes in March and September means new car sales peak in these months, forcing an influx of used cars onto the market. If you can wait until mid to late April or October, you may find prices are substantially lower.

Winter is traditionally a quieter time for used car sales, largely because of the weather and dark evenings. If you are thinking of buying a sports car or a classic car, don’t buy during the spring or summer when everybody has the bug for open-top motoring or classic car cruising. If you want a bargain, buy it in the autumn or winter. The opposite is true of four wheel drive and off-road vehicles. Most people decide they must have one of these when there is two feet of snow on the roads and their car refuses to move. So buy in spring or summer.
