When it comes to techniques to negotiate the best possible price for a car, theories abound. There is an old idea that the best time to buy a car is at the end of the week, end of the month, or end of the year. Is this true? Well there is some logic behind it, at the end of the month many dealers are trying to meet sales quotas so they can earn bonuses. So there is something to be said for driving a hard bargain by buying at the end of the month.

Another good time to buy is Holidays like New Years eve, when most people aren't thinking about car buying. Not only do they have other things going on but their budgets are maxed out. So combining the end of the month with a holiday should be the best possible scenario for buying a car. And sure enough there are people who think that the very last day of the year, new years eve is the time to buy. There are numbers to back this up, according to research website TrueCar.com December 31st will be one of the best days to buy a car this year, with an average 8.2% discount off the manufactured suggested retail price. Of course this is one of the tons of variables that go into car prices and you know that it's going to depend on your ability ability to negotiate and the specific car you have in mind.
