Newspaper: Summer may be best time to buy a used car

The next two months may be a good time for consumers looking to buy a used car in New York who were waiting to get a bargain.

Sometimes an end-of-the-month car purchase may yield some extra savings for the customer if the dealership they are buying from is running below their targeted quotas, the LeafChronicle.com reports. And it just so happens that July and August is a typically slow time in the market in terms of car sales.

However, there still may be more of a reason to wait, especially if a buyer wants more of a selection. Kathleen Calligan from the Better Business Bureau of Middle Tennessee told the news provider that September often has many used cars on the market since that’s when many consumers buy new or trade in.

Earlier this year, AOL Autos published a list of some of the best used cars under $20,000 a person could currently buy.

People looking into a decent sports car may be interested to know that the 2006 Pontiac GTO made the list, calling it “one of the best sports car deals available” with a V8 engine and 400 hp.
