Wait Until July 4th or Sign Now?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the market for another car to lease and have been exploring EV options for several weeks. I’m not in a rush, as this is for an additional vehicle. If any of you are in a similar situation, would you recommend waiting until July 4th for potential deals, or should I go ahead and sign if I find a good offer now?

it really depends on the EV and the State you are in. Both are unspecified right now.

As you might be aware around here we recommend creating an aggressive but doable target deal and making an offer to dealers. If they meet you where you want to be now then you keep up your end of the bargain and go get a vehicle in June.

Perhaps if they don’t meet at your desired price point you know to roll over to a very busy sales weekend in July and hope whatever vehicle you want in an acceptable color or trim level you’ve based your search on is available.

There’s nothing special about July 4th, fiscally speaking.

You would be targeting 9/30 if June 30 doesn’t work for you.

Holidays are a scam, programs are monthly basis. Consumers that dont know how sales work are the ones that get burnt. A couple of balloons makes a customer think hes getting a deal of lifetime

Memo, end of quarter. Thank you

Which EV’s are you targeting ? I am in the same boat , planning to close by month end. I need a second car for local driving . I got rid of Honda Clarity

What do you have to gain by waiting besides less options to pick from?

And not to mention July 4th will be the beginning of a new month with new programs (which could be the same, better, or worse) and new dealer discounts (which, depending on inventory levels, could be lower than June). In short, you likely have more to lose than gain by waiting for a holiday that’s not in any way tied to car lease programs.
