- - best time to buy a car (http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-general-discussions/99970-best-time-buy-car.html)

The best time to buy a car is on the last day of a fiscal quarter when they need to pump their numbers up. End of the year is best, though not usually practical to wait that long.

Did they ask how much u r putting down on the car? Cause I read that its not a good idea to let them know cause they can use that against u making it seem ur getting a better deal.

How much did u put down?

only if you're looking at the monthly payments... not the absolute value / interest rate

dont talk monthly payments, sales guy will most definitely add something you wont immediately notice.

the downpayment, monthly rate, and allowed miles is wat you want to concentrate on a lease.

If the dealer offer 0% on interest rates I would go with them cause I know I'll pay it off quick.

If they offer that to you why not..

I definitely agree with the orphan philosophy as well. I got my 14 Nismo with 7,000 miles for 30k at a Subaru dealer. Also was winter in MN so that drives the price down up here.

Winter... Found that out the hard way.

My z is an 09 base and yet around december I found a 2013 base sport, same color as mine, less miles than what I bought mine for for about 2 grand more than what I paid.. WHAT THE CRAP! Should have waited...
