Car Shopping in Summer? What to Know Before You Hit the Lo

Summer often sparks car buying. School’s out, road trip season is in full swing, and many dealerships run mid-year clearance events. But before you dive in, here’s what you need to know:

1. Higher Foot Traffic at Dealerships
Summer weekends are popular for car shopping. Expect busier lots, which could mean longer wait times or fewer test drives available.

2. Inventory May Be in Transition
Dealerships begin clearing out current-year models to make room for next year’s. That means deals on remaining inventory—but also limited trim/color options.

3. Price Negotiation Opportunities
With more vehicles in stock, especially toward July and August, dealerships may be more motivated to deal. Watch for incentives or bonus cash offers.
