Why The Holidays Are The Best Time to Buy a Car

Authored By: MIT FCU

The holiday season isn’t just a time for gift-giving and gatherings—it’s also one of the best times of year to find great deals on a new car. As the year comes to a close, dealerships are eager to make room for next year’s models. That means you’ll often see generous incentives, special financing offers, and price markdowns that can make your dream car more affordable than ever.

On top of that, shopping during the holidays gives you access to limited-time promotions and year-end clearance events. Combine those savings with a low-rate auto loan from MIT Federal Credit Union, and you could drive into the new year with confidence—without putting extra strain on your holiday budget.

Whether you’re upgrading for better safety, more space, or a new adventure, this season is the perfect time to make it happen.
