Just wonder what is the best time to lease e.g. bmw/MB to get some great deals?

what about coming thanks giving or year end?

PSA...Holiday car sales are a gimmick

Since the question gets brought ad nauseam every single holiday at least once, and usually more, here’s your auto leasing PSA for the week… HOLIDAY SALES ARE A PURE MARKETING GIMMICK TO GET YOU IN THE DOOR. [image] Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

LH became Google: “what is the best month to lease a car”. Why not to just Google it?

In general, the last weekend before the end of the month will naturally create more urgency for every dealer to hit their numbers. The teams at each OEM that set incentive levels don’t follow any holiday schedules but rather look to how well their sales did last month relative to plan and adjust accordingly. So if the prior month was down year-over-year on the sales volume for a particular model you can expect to see higher incentives in the current month (total generalization but true more often than not).
