The best time to buy a car is...

At the end of the month when salespeople need to meet their quotas.
When it’s snowing or raining so there are fewer customers on the floor.
On a Friday night when people would rather be at home or out on the town.
When you’re not tired because the entire process takes 4-8 hours.
When you’re not afraid to walk away and wait to buy a car another day.

P.S. everything is negotiable—especially the warranty.
