CARS.COM SHARES THE BEST BUYS OUT THERE AND WHY THE END OF THE YEAR MIGHT BE THE PERFECT TIME TO BUY YOUR NEXT VEHICLE!

CHICAGO, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- If you've ever shopped for a new car, you've probably heard the advice to wait until the end of the model year before making your purchase. The theory behind this tip is that eager dealers offer more discounts as they clear lots for next year's model. With the average price of a new car hovering around $50,000 for some time now, it may seem like that new-car smell is out of reach. However, you can still find good new cars that are priced tens of thousands of dollars less than that.
