When is the best....

time to go the dealership and get the best price on a new SD. What kind of incentives are they having right now? I am really looking at getting a SD but I want to go when it is the best time. I woud hate to jump the gun and a month down the road a better deal is there. What are the pro's and con's of waiting/not waiting?? Thanks for all the help in advance.

MM

The best time is when you are ready. If you hold out for a better deal what happens if it don't come.

With fuel prices so high, any time now should be a good time. Oh and toward the end of the month is the best time of the month. You'll either have a seasoned salesman needing one more sale to get his bonus or a newbie trying real hard to make his first.

As stated above the best time to buy a current model year is when the next year hits the lots.
Usually the middle to end of September (end of quarter) I have found is the best. You can wait until October but the availability goes down and they might not have what you want.
