Huge Car Deals at Year’s End

December is thought by many to be the best time to buy a new car. That is generally because dealerships are looking to hit year-end sales quotas and the closer you get to the end of December, the better the deals become. You can find large discounts on remaining 2024 models and even find zero percent financing. 

Year-end car deals for 2024 may be the best we have seen in years. Expect them to start with Black Friday after Thanksgiving and go through the end of the year at the end of December. After peaking earlier this year, interest rates are on the decline in the United States and automakers are offering low APR deals on remaining cars on the lot. Special financing options and a lukewarm demand for new cars right now will make it easier to get great deals.
Improved supply chains and fewer buyers mean there are more new autos on lots than last year, so the end of this year marks an excellent time to buy. For instance, Nissan is ramping up discounts on its popular Rogue, Frontier, and Pathfinder models. Ford is pumping up financing options and cash discounts. There are also attractive lease deals on 2024 models. 

For those who are more interested in leasing a car, you are likely to find low-payment lease deals toward the end of the year. If you find a deal that fits in your budget, why not grab it now? Check with your local Lithia Motors dealership to find the right car at the right price. With over 300 dealerships of most major brands from coast to coast, we are likely to have the perfect car for you. 

With all that in mind, let's look at some of the best year end car deals of various makes and models that are going on right now. Keep in mind that the following financing terms and prices mentioned were set at the time of this writing on November 19th and are subject to change.
