Usually people associate the practice of checking new and used car dealerships for cars for sale to the summertime. The weather is more conducive for starters, and most people believe this to be the best time for potential deals and discounts. While all that is true to a certain extent, that shouldn’t deter you from checking out your local Chevy dealerships during the holiday and winter times.

With over 200 million cars produced since 1912, Chevrolet is one of the most popular car brands in the world. In fact, they’re driven on roads in two-thirds of the world and one is sold somewhere every 6.5 seconds on average. If a new car or truck is something you’ve been fantasizing about for awhile, check out your local Chevy dealerships today for these three reasons.

1. Great Time for Deals: Even though summer might get the reputation as a hot sales month, some of the best deals can be found in the winter. Local Chevy dealerships will be extra motivated to move out last years product for the 2016 models for one. On a personal level, the end of the year is typically when companies pay out their bonuses and if you find the salesperson who needs a couple more to hit their yearly bonus quota, chances are they’ll be very willing to work with you on getting a good deal.
2. Not as Many Shoppers: On a practical level, it can be difficult to shop for a car when it feels like you’re competing with four other families on the lot looking at similar vehicles. It might be nicer weather to walk about in the summer, but the winter gives you more space. Plus, less shoppers means more attention can be given to you by a sales associate should you need/want it.
3. Gift of the Year: While certainly not in everyone’s budget, buying a car from your local Chevy dealerships is a great way to show someone you really care. You can even justify it as a “family gift” if giving it outright to a spouse or child seems a bit too much.

Don’t think that just because it’s the winter season you can’t find a great deal on a new car. These are just a couple of reasons to consider checking out local Chevy dealerships today.
