Winter has arrived in full force. If you live anywhere in the northern part of the country, you are probably buried under a foot of snow right now. January is typically a slow month for new car sales and a great time to take advantage of some deep discounts at your local dealership.

Winter Freeze

January is a poor sales month for new vehicles for a few reasons. First of all, no one wants to go out in the cold weather to test drive a car. The cold weather makes new car buyers hibernate until he spring thaw, usually around April. Your local dealerships know their history, so they will be offing amazing deals to supplement their slow sales months.

Cold Test Drive

But cold weather test drives will show dealers that you are serious about purchasing a new vehicle.
