Buying a car is a big decision any time of year. But if youโre looking for the best deal and a car thatโs ready for winter, December is one of the smartest months to shop. At APlus Auto Group, we have helped many Maine drivers find the right car at the right time. Year-end is one of the best times to make your move.
Here is why buying a used vehicle in December can save you money, time, and stress. We will also show you how we make sure you get a smart, safe purchase you can count on.
Why December Is a Great Month to Buy a Car
Lower prices before the new year
Many dealerships, including ours, are looking to clear inventory before the calendar flips. That means you can find amazing used car deals that are only available at the end of the year. It is the perfect time to stretch your budget.
End-of-year financing incentives
Banks and lenders often offer special rates or promotions in December. If you are planning to finance, this can mean lower payments or better terms. We work closely with local lenders to help you take advantage of these deals.
Trade-in values may be higher
We often look to accept trade-ins in December so we can prepare new inventory for the start of the year. You may get more value for your current vehicle this time of year than you would later on.
What to Look for in a Year-End Vehicle Deal
Reconditioned for winter roads
Every vehicle at APlus Auto Group is fully reconditioned at our Service Center in Casco to handle snow, salt, and freezing temperatures. From brakes and batteries to winter tires, we make sure your car or truck is ready for the road.

Smart Buyer Tips for December Car Shopping
Be ready to act quickly
The best vehicles can sell fast during this time of year. If you see a used SUV or truck you like, do not wait too long to test drive or make a decision.
Get pre-approved
When you are pre-approved for financing, the whole buying process becomes easier. You will know what you can afford before you even arrive.
Look for total value
Do not focus only on the sticker price. A vehicle that is well-maintained and reconditioned may save you money in the long run, even if the upfront cost is a little higher.
