Seasonal Purchases / Seasonal Sales:
I am often asked when is the best time of year for selling?
I get the same questions about buying too...
Remember, when it comes to depreciating assets, the Best time to sell is in the past. If getting the most for your RV means something to you, sooner is always better than later. Waiting may help your rig have a shorter market time, but the market is on a steady decline so a slower sale for more VS a faster sale for less can be expected.
Purchases of seasonal items can be cost-effective to buy during the off-season. Factors to determine how beneficial it can be include: your Storage, Savings, Budget, etc. -
The real challenge is knowing just when is the right time to buy. When it Begins to slow down, before the dead of winter is ideal. Dealers start to get nervous regarding their inventory as soon as late July and August. Summer-centric RV choices fall off their peak time about then.
With fewer sales, and lots of inventory to clear, Autumn-time deals are readily available. The factories participate in this savings as well. They pay the Dealers sizable repurchase bonuses tied to acquiring their sitting inventory so this giveaway makes sense.
Those bonuses are always time-sensitive, thus are only available on transactions that take place by a certain date. Between this, and how the Best purchase opportunities are snapped up, the RV winter actually begins in September/October.
