How much can you negotiate off MSRP?
The average discount across all models in our database is roughly 5.3% off MSRP. However, some models see discounts above 10% while high-demand vehicles may sell at or above sticker price. Your negotiating leverage depends on local inventory, time of year, and the specific model.
When do car discounts increase?
Discounts tend to increase at the end of each month and quarter as dealers push to hit sales targets. Year-end clearance events (October through December) often produce the deepest discounts as dealers make room for next-year models. Holiday weekends like Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Black Friday also bring promotional pricing.
