Should I Buy This Year’s Model?
When we think of the best time to purchase a new car, there’s often a lot spoken about the end of financial year sales, but the end of the calendar year is also a popular choice. Of course, that was mostly during the pre-pandemic era, as since then, the supply drought has hampered new car buyers negotiating power somewhat.
