Here's Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Buy A 2018 MY Car

现在是一个很好的时间来买一辆车,那么多dealerships are struggling to get rid of their 2018 inventory as 2019 models arrive. This may be good news for consumers, but it is bad news for automakers who are desperately trying to get rid of 2018 models in order to start selling their 2019 inventory.Automotive News saysthe issue became particularly bad last year in 2017 and dealerships are facing the same issue this year as well.

In the final quarter of 2017, only 46% of new vehicles sold in the US were 2018 models. This number was 73% a decade ago according to Edmunds, so clearly, the issue is getting worse. The issue is even spilling over to the first quarter of the following year. Back in the first quarter of 2017, nearly 20% of all new vehicles sold were year-old 2016 models - that's more than double what it was a decade ago. At the beginning of 2018, Nissan was struggling to get rid of leftover cars and wasforced to offer big discounts and pay sales staff a bonus for selling 2017 models.
