Buying a sports car in the winter could be counter-intuitive for many people, especially when the snow starts falling. However, the winter season is when you should contact a reputable dealer and look for one. So, is winter the best time to buy a sports car? At Schmit Bros, we say YES! Buying a sports car or a convertible, like a Mustang, in the winter season provides several significant benefits – saving on the price is just one of them.
Like many other things in life, there is an off-season for car purchases, especially sports cars in chilly climates, like Wisconsin. These cars are considered summertime vehicles and only a select number of people are in the market to buy them in the winter. That is exactly why winter is the best time to buy a Mustang, because dealers will probably sell it to you for a low price during the winter months.
New models also tend to come out during the late summer and early fall. Most dealerships are generally trying to clear out last year’s models early in the winter season. During the winter season, dealerships often move the previous years’ models for a discounted price.
Think of it as the same type of investment philosophy that Warren Buffet and Steve Forbes use. You should not be following the sheep because then you will never get ahead. This investing philosophy is called contrarian investing and can be applied to car buying as well.
There are also relatively fewer people shopping for a vehicle in the cold weather. A less crowded dealership allows you to take as much time as you want to compare models and test drive.
Contact your car insurance provider to see if you can save money on your insurance premium if the used Mustang is equipped already with winter tires.
If you are buying a brand-new Mustang, think about having winter tires put on it, as you may be able to qualify for a discount. If you want to save even more, consider buying snow tires directly through us as part of the new car deal.
Here are some other reasons why winter is the best time to purchase a car:
-
-Less competition for your favorite model
-
-More room to negotiate
-
-Fewer crowds at the dealerships
