Is NOW the time to BUY a NEW CAR?
This week “BLACK FRIDAY” may be more important to car dealers and luxury car buyers than ever before.
The last few months have not shown dealers the gas pedal on sales, just as Japanese imports have seen inventories rebound and the European manufacturers hold back on their goods as global markets elsewhere have proved more profitable.
So what does this mean for the year-end, profit-taking businessman or bonus-driven executive?
Car dealers recognize the opportunity to get your attention amid gift-shopping, christmas parties and business demands is slim, and they have NO INTEREST in waiting til the last week of December to see if you have ANYTHING left in the BONUS or BUDGET stocking. The dealers are ready, the banks are ready and the inventory isn’t getting any bigger because after January 1st,2012, tax is due on standing stock.
If you were considering a car as the ultimate gift or business deduction… get going and get out before the other guy beat you to it.
2012 New Car colors and options are limited.
Luxury vehicles, expecially the BMW, MB, AUDI, PORSCHE, JAGUAR, LEXUS, ACURA and INFINITI are in limited stock, and many dealers are just getting the more premium featured vehicles, thanks to equipment back-orders from the Tsunami.
Metallic red and pearl white paints may still be missing from the lots, as the key mineral in the sparkle is from Japan and every car color starts with the white base, so if a special color is your goal, be flexible or order it and wait for Summer 2012. (Good-bye tax incentives, 0% interest, higher than unusal trade-ins and deep dealer discounts).
My point is this… “December to Remember”, “HO-HO-Hit the Road” and other clever season’s greetings are to be taken seriously by those ready to buy.
If ever there was a perfect storm for the cash, lease and credit-worthy luxury car buyer to get his or her BEST DEAL of the YEAR, NOW IS IT!
Don’t wait, you’ll miss the boat, lose any tax benefit and probably won’t see another buying opportunity like this for the next 18-24 mos.
So, stop whining and waiting for the the stock market to pay you back.
Go buy the car you’ve been pining for, the dealers are ready to play, the incentives are all-in and it’s time for YOU to put your money where your mouth is… before Uncle Sam take’s it away.
Happy Holidays!
