Chances are you’ve heard the advertising fanfare heralding the arrival of Black Friday car deals.
It’s that time of year when automakers jump at the chance to offer deep discounts and savings on shiny new models.
But did you know it’s the best day of the year to find a deal on a pre-owned vehicle?
That’s according to research that shows Black Friday has 33.1 percent more deals on used cars than average.
The day after Thanksgiving tops the 2016 list of best times to buy a used vehicle put together by iSeeCars.com, an online search engine for cars.
iSeeCars.com analyzed 40 million used car transactions, taking place between 2013 and 2015, to discover at which times there were more deals than average. A deal was classed as a saving of five percent or more.
Perhaps you’re looking for a capable SUV as we enter the holiday season, to carry you through the winter weather.
You might have your eye on a sporty coupe in which to have fun.
Whatever vehicle you have in mind, searching for deals on Black Friday may save you a sizeable amount of money.
