The automotive model year officially changes like on 10-1 or thereabouts, if I recall correctly.
However, prior to that, info about the new models is available.
At some time during the year, the price of all cars (with certain exceptions) drops a notch – demand for the ‘expiring’ year drops off as people will wait a little while for the new one. That trickles down and at that point, every prior model year drops down a notch.
That effect is wayyy big if there is a significant change in the new model.
So, the question is:
When does this dropping-a-notch in price happen – practically speaking ?
BTW – I am not going to buy a new car – so i don’t need any info on the strategies involved w them.
For cars/trucks that are a few years old, when will their resale value take some amount of a hit due to the impending release of the new model ?
Many cars start getting majorly marked down in late June/early July. I would suspect that the best deals (if the buyer isn’t partial to any color/specs) are to be had in August, since dealerships need to clear out for new inventory.
on new cars i notice there are (on the front bumper and back bumper) there are square shaped cut outs, what are they? Why are they there? What purpose do they serve? Why only on new cars?
Maybe they’re the watchamacallits you use to put the metal thingamabobs on…
span style=”font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";”>The whole world is aware of the fact that used Japan cars are the cheapest in this planet. Moreover, the used Japan cars come with many bundled accessories, which make buying a used Japan car more profitable. All the used Japan cars that are sold will be in top condition. The looks of the used Japan cars will be as good as the new ones. With all these good things, have anyone wondered why these used Japan cars are sold for dead cheap prices? Just keep reading on the article to know the top 3 reasons behind the cheap pricing of the used Japan cars and the great availability of the same.
1. The price of cars is the Cheapest in Asia
You will be well aware of the fact that the pricing of the cars are cheapest in the Asian countries. When it comes to Japan, the prices of the cars are even dead cheap. That is the reason why the Japanese people buy new cars frequently as the new models are introduced. This makes their old used Japan car to be sold at very low prices. As the old cars will be well maintained by the owner, you can see many good used cars for sale at very cheap prices. The Japanese used car inventory expands as people keep on buying new model cars and sell the used car for very low prices.
2. The very special Japanese loan system
Though this loan system cannot be explained in few words, we’ll try our best to make it understandable in this article. The outline of the car loan system in Japan is that you can buy a new car for almost half the original price of the vehicle. Here is how it works. Let’s take an example that you are buying a car that costs US$50,000 which has a resale value of 50%. Through the unique Japanese loan system, you will have to pay only US$25,000 for the vehicle. The car loan system provides an opportunity to deduct the resale value of the car. After some 2 years, you have to resell the car to the dealer and get a new car in the same manner. This makes used Japan cars accumulate to the inventory.
People around the globe really have a hard time when importing luxurious used cars from other countries. There are certain situations where the import tax of the used car will be very much greater than the price for which you bought the car. However, things are very different in the case of importing used cars directly from Japan. You should have heard that importing used Japan cars are not associated with any import tax. Yes that is absolutely true. You don’t have to pay even a single penny as import tax while importing used cars from Japan. Moreover, all the car related taxes are very low for the used Japan cars when compared to the others.

My boyfriend works at one and I’m just wondering (he’s not too sure, he just takes the $ they give him). **Dealerships have their markups but used cars are a much better profit because he gets around 40% comm**. So with new cars the dealership buys them from Dodge etc, and resells them an barely makes $. How much do you think they mark it up?
My boyfriend makes 20% regardless and I’m just wondering if anyone knows the appx markup value to the MSRP.
Mark-ups are different depending on the company. A general rule of thumb is 12-15% This can vary alot. edmunds.com has invoice prices for new cars – but make sure to include every equipment package and option before he accuses his work of screwing him! Some vehicles by the way have VERY SMALL profit margins so even if he sells those at full price, there isn’t much in it for him. Most base model entry level cars and light trucks fall in this category.
