As the summer season winds down, so do many of the hottest car deals of the year. For buyers, late summer and early fall can be one of the best times to shop for a new vehicle. At Homer Skelton Ford in Olive Branch, we see more customers drive away happy during this time than almost any other. Here’s why now is the perfect moment to make your move.
1. Model Year Changeovers
Dealerships start receiving next year’s models in late summer. That means we need to make room on the lot, and current model-year vehicles often come with great offers to clear space. You’ll still get a brand-new car with full warranty coverage—just at a better value.
2. Holiday and Seasonal Promotions
End-of-summer sales events, like Labor Day promotions, often bring limited-time discounts and bonus incentives. These seasonal deals can help you get into the vehicle you’ve been eyeing while saving more than you would earlier in the year.
3. Larger Selection Before It’s Gone
Once the newest models arrive, remaining inventory of the outgoing year can move quickly. Shopping now gives you more choices in trims, colors, and features before availability starts to narrow.
4. Great Time for Trade-Ins
The used car market often stays strong through the summer, which means your trade-in could be worth more right now. Acting before fall hits may help you maximize your current vehicle’s value.
5. Beat the Fall Rush
As back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons approach, many buyers put off car shopping. That makes late summer a quieter time at the dealership—giving you more personalized attention and time to explore your options.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to a new vehicle, the end of summer is a sweet time to act. With model year changeovers, seasonal promotions, and strong trade-in opportunities, there’s no better time to visit me and find your perfect ride.
