Never. My dad always said the man that buys a used car buys another's headache.
Now that Ive been doing this car thing for awhile and know when the best time to buy a USED vehicle, I figured I would ask YOU follks to get your opinion.

Honestly thats pretty foolish for a number of reasons. One is depreciation. The other is there is almost always problems..... even large ones.... with a new car. Your father sounds like mine!
Never is the correct answer from my experience. New cars have warranties, used cars don't. I don't get your depreciation comment. They depreciate no matter when you buy them.
You take the biggest monetary hit in depreciation in the first couple of years of ownership. The % decline also slows down as the car ages
Which is only relevant if you care at all about resale value. Otherwise... so what?

The answer is NOW!!!!
AT YOUR LOCAL USED CAR DEALERSHIP!!!!!
But srsly does the time of year really matter?
That's why we have good jobs so we can afford things like that.
Never from a used car dealership - always from someone you know (esque) and only after you've had it thoroughly inspected.
