What’s the Best Time of Year to Buy a Used Vehicle?

Blog Apr 25th, 2026

When shopping for a pre-owned vehicle, the team at Attrell Toyota often hears shoppers wondering if there’s a particular time of the year that has the best deals for used cars, trucks, and SUVs. Fortunately, great deals can be found year-round at dealerships like Attrell Toyota, which is always updating its inventory with special offers and impressive new additions. Below, we’ve broken down some times of the year to keep in mind when buying a used vehicle, including end-of-year deals during the holidays and fresh trade-in waves during spring and early summer.

Look for End-of-Year Deals and Special Holiday Offers

The final months of the year, especially October through December, are widely considered one of the best times to shop for a used car. As dealerships need to make space for the year ahead and the incoming rush of spring trade-in vehicles, many pre-owned models can be found at a lower asking price!

Spring and Summer Brings Fresh Trade-In Vehicles

If you’re looking for a low-mileage pre-owned vehicle, spring through early summer is the perfect time to shop for a used car, truck, or SUV. As the weather gets warmer, dealerships such as ours at Attrell Toyota tend to experience an influx of trade-ins. While these vehicles may not be as heavily discounted as the used vehicles found on the lot during the end of the year, this is the perfect time to go used vehicle shopping if you’re a driver who wants a large selection of like-new models to choose from.

Keep an Eye Out for Special Offers

Naturally, dealerships like us at Attrell Toyota always have a rotating assortment of specials and featured vehicles for drivers to choose from. Check back in regularly with our used inventory to see our current lineup of models. On a budget? Take a look at our used vehicles under $30,000!
