Well yes and No because people are being cautious including the banks, BUT the best time to purchase a vehicle is in December, the later in the month the better.The dealership (any dealer) wants to and has to have they're cars sold to beat their competitor, not a different manufacturer but the same manufacturer.Example this Lexus dealer has to sell 300 cars for the month to be #1 for Lexus in sales, another Lexus dealer has to sell only 270 to be # 1 in Lexus for sales , you see so their's competition between all the dealers to be # 1..JM Lexus in S. Florida is #1 and Longo Lexus in California is # 2 right now so if you buy online or fly there then maybe you'll get a better deal at one of those places to get your business and to beat the other one in sales
Which in the end the customer benefits from something that that particular dealership can offer
