"There often is a misconception that the best deals on new cars only are available toward the end of the year, as dealers are trying to clear current model-year inventory," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for KBB.com. "However, there are some great buys available for car shoppers throughout the year, including many popular new models with offers that will have a minimal impact on shoppers' wallets."
