   Sales in December are usually slow, as people are preparing for the holidays, and have limited cash to spend. Dealers in some areas also want to reduce inventory at the end of the year, so that they do not have to pay inventory tax.

   The dealers also want to get as many sales into the year’s business, which makes the books look better if they need financing or business loans.

   The one thing to consider is that 4 wheel drive vehicles sell better in the winter. You may want to look at making the purchase before the snow hits in your area.

   December is not the best time to buy a used car.

   Used car deals can be found any time of the year. If you’re trying to find a specific time or date to buy a used car and get a good deal, try the end of any month. Dealers are always trying to meet/exceed quotas in any given month and are willing to take a "small" deal at the end of the month.

   December might be a good time to buy a new car but as far as used cars go, any time can be a good time.

   If you’re trying to find the best deal on a wrangler then I suggest you shop around. Call as many dealerships as you can and see if they have what you want.
   Drive the cars and see if they’re worth buying. After you drive the cars then get a carfax on them to make sure there’s no problems.

   Don’t pay the retail price. Book it out under the trade in value and offer the trade in value for the car. (It is usually the lowest)

   Dealers are taking in Jeep’s very cheap right now because people aren’t buying American cars.

   If you do all this you should get a good deal.
