If anyone has thoughts about these, that would be very helpful.
1. Is there a good/bad time of year to shop for a used vehicle? Basically, a time when prices are apt to be particularly high or low?
2. I recently realized that a Carfax report tells me when a dealer first listed a car for sale, so... How long is a long time for a dealership to have a vehicle for sale? What I mean is, if I see that the dealer has had a car listed for 2 months, does that mean they are desperate to sell and are more likely to take a low offer? Or is 2 months no big deal, and it's more like 6 months before they're really desperate? Or is 1 month long enough to make a dealer desperate? (I guess this varies somewhat by the quantity of sales at a given dealership...)
Thanks!
