August Is Hot Time To Buy! As summer comes to a close, you may be thinking about buying a car. If so, you're in luck! Experts say the dog days of summer might just be the best time to buy.

“Dealers are cleaning out older inventory as new models roll in," says TrueCar.com CEO Scott Painter. "This change-over means late-model vehicles are priced to be quickly sold off the lot. So if you are looking to save money, August is definitely the time to buy.”
Regardless of when you shop, choosing a vehicle that’s right for you and your budget is essential. To reduce the stress of car shopping, it’s important to figure out in advance:
- How much you can afford.
- What kind of vehicle best suits your needs.
- Which financing option is best for you.
