Key takeaway “They’re doing it at the end of the model year, so that when the 27’s come out, we’re out of 26’s,” Tom Kulick, Midway Ford sales manager, said.
Why this matters in The Minneapolis
For Minneapolis car shoppers, the Fourth of July holiday presents a unique opportunity to snag a deal on a new vehicle. With dealerships pushing to meet midyear sales quotas and clear out outgoing inventory, discounts of 4% to 12% off the sticker price are not uncommon. Local dealerships, such as Midway Ford, are already running promotions like employee pricing for all sales, which can translate to significant savings for buyers. As sales managers like Tom Kulick point out, the goal is to make room for new models, making the holiday a prime time to negotiate. Minneapolis buyers would do well to take advantage of these discounts, especially given the current market. By being informed and prepared to walk away from a negotiation, local car shoppers can drive away in a new vehicle with a better price tag.
