Car buying is a year-round industry, so there’s no right or wrong time to make a purchase. But there are certainly different times of the year that make more sense than others, such as end-of-the-year sales events. But there are also plenty of great reasons to purchase a Jeep or RAM vehicle in the month of March. For starters, you’ve still got a few days to capitalize on RAM Truck Month and other early-year sales incentives that kick off in February, but you’ll have to act fast! But that’s just one reason, keep reading to learn more about why March is a smart time to buy a truck or SUV from Jim Glover CDJRF.
Beat the Spring Rush
In contrast to those aforementioned end-of-the-year events, April and May are also traditionally some of the busiest months for car dealerships. As the weather warms up and graduation season approaches, a lot of people decide it’s the right time to buy a car. By shopping in March, you’re often able to beat this seasonal rush, which means you’ll have more time to peruse and test drive our vehicles without the added pressure of a crowded showroom.
Optimal Pre-Owned Selection
While it’s nowhere near as busy as April and May, March still sees a lot of traffic from shoppers looking to capitalize on their tax refund — which we’ll get to in a bit. When those shoppers trade in their pre-owned vehicles to make their new purchases, it vastly expands our selection of used vehicles. So, if you’re in the market for a pre-owned Jeep or RAM vehicle, March might be the best time to find one. And as always, thanks to our Glover Guarantee, you can rest assured that you’re getting a reliable vehicle.
Model Year Inventory Shifts
When we start nearing the end of the first fiscal quarter of the calendar year, we begin thinking about the next model year – which in this case will be 2027 – but even more than that, we stop thinking about the previous model year. The current model year has been in full swing for a few months, and by now we typically have hundreds to choose from, but the previous model year is dwindling down and dealerships like Jim Glover are typically looking to push those last few out the door. For example, we currently have three 2025 RAM models, and they’re much more affordable than their newer counterparts.
Tax Refund Advantages
We already alluded to it, but another reason March is a smart time to buy a Jeep or RAM vehicle is because of tax season. Taxes aren’t due until mid April, but a lot of people get the jump on filing much earlier in the year, and by the time March rolls around they’ve already received their refunds. Since your tax refund is a nice lump sum that you usually don’t include in your monthly budgeting, you can put that money towards the purchase of a new car, lowering your monthly payments or taking care of things like the title and licensing fees.
Find Your Jeep or RAM at Jim Glover CDJRF
As we mentioned early on, make sure you look out for incentives like Truck Month. While it’s already winding down this year – it ends on March 2nd – new incentives might pop up once it’s over, and next year Truck Month might last further into the month.
