CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

Should I wait for a new model year before buying?

Waiting makes sense if the next model year brings a redesign, safety upgrades or features you want. Buying the outgoing model year can save money because dealers often discount older inventory once the new one arrives. Research what's changing for the new year, and compare the price difference against what you'd gain. On OffLot, listing facts like days on market and price changes help you see how long a vehicle has been available.
