According to the automotive website, Cargurus.com, the best time to buy a used car may in fact be December during holiday season.

The websites analysis is based off of the used car index and shows that the demand for car decreases at year end, and therefore the lowest average used car prices are roughly during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Prices will quickly increase at the new year as demand increases.

The site expects used car prices to hit their low on Jan 4. They will rise up as much as 4 percent by the middle of February.

Recently, more and more dealers are making it known that they will pay cash for your car or accept a trade in. Many dealers in Michigan are equipped with signs that say “We Buy Cars” and that they will buy it even if you are not purchasing a car from them.

Some say that there is a shortage of used cars and that this means that you may be able to get more for a trade in. Michigan also ran a Cash-for-Clunkers program that took 700,000 used cars out of circulation in the area.
