When is the best time to buy

[CreativeVision]

I was wondering if the 0% financing is a cyclical thing, where it happens at the same time(s) of year every year? I think I recall seeing lots of commercials for this around the 4th of July and Labor Day last year.

I also just got a notice in the mail that I can get another $750 bonus earnings to be used alongside my GM extended family card earnings. By the sounds of the brochure they sent, I can use all of this in addition to special financing rates. But the offer ends on Feb 28th. Currently Buick is only offering 4.9% or cash back. I would much rather have the 0.0% financing. Does anyone know if there are specific times of year they offer this?

Looking to purchase in the next 6 months, and Lucerne is on the top of the list.

It varies from model to model, but generally the best time is around Christmas or June/July. Better yet, build a relationship with a dealer ( like with a salesperson who has been there for a long time) and they will keep you up to pace on when the GM incentives are strong on the model you are looking for. Maybe even give you enough heads up to factory order exactly what you want. It also depends on whether you are financing or leasing. Leases are generally cheaper around Christmas, before the residuals drop in mid-winter.

I always keep my customers up to date on loyalty programs, financing deals, etc. They can decide for themselves when the best time is or when they are ready.

I would guess they'll have another 72 hour sale at some point, but who knows when.

So you wanna be my new buddy? You know...let me know when the best deal comes around for a Lucerne CXL V8 for a finance?

No one ever really knows in advance what the incentives are going to be but I agree with carbiz on what he was saying. But if you're wanting to finance a Lucerne I'd say jump on it when they do 0% because I seriously doubt seeing them coming out with a big enough rebate to equal the savings.
