WAIT 60 DAYS TO BUY A CAR | Episode 925
About this episode
Waiting 60 days to buy a car could be a savvy move, according to insights from the Autopian. Hosts Ray and Zach discuss the potential benefits of delaying a purchase until the end of the year, when manufacturers typically offer better incentives and lower interest rates as they aim to meet annual sales goals. They analyze current market trends, including the widening gap between MSRP and transaction prices, and the increasing leverage consumers have in negotiations. The episode also touches on the impact of inventory levels and the evolving strategies of automakers in response to affordability challenges.
