Tips on Buying Cars: model year end clearance, toyota sienna, closeout

Question
We would like to purchase a Toyota Sienna and get the best deal possible.  We are considering waiting for the model year end close-out as the most likely time to get a good deal on a 2009.  Is this true?  If so, when exactly is that?  Thanks!

Answer
The model year closeout is usually in January or February of the next year. Sometime manufactures will push it forward a month or so but that is all up to them. I would say that techincally yes it is true that is the beat time to get the best deal but only by a thousand or so dollars. Especially on a Toyota sienna. If that is a big enough difference to you to make you wait then I would suggest you wait. Of not then go ahead and buy the vehicle you want.

Thanks for your question.
