Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) will have some of the best deals of the year, but on the busiest of retail days, salesman will be slammed.  So try to do your test drives in advance so you can focus on getting a good price.   Dealerships will be flooded with shoppers and you will likely have to wait in line for a salesman.  Many will open at 6am so get there early if you do want to window shop.  But to skip the frenzy of crowds entirely, get car prices online and only go to the dealership to close the deal.

The entire Thanksgiving holiday week including Black Friday and Cyber Monday present a perfect storm of conditions that make it easy to find discounts and deals.  This is because:

1. Car dealers must compete for shoppers’ attention against all types of retailers and will offer promotions to get you to visit.
2. Cyber Monday is the last week of the month and salesmen and dealerships are trying to reach both their month-end and year-end sales quotas before the end of the year.  The loss they take from a couple sales may be greatly outweighed by the bonus they could possibly earn.
3. The 2018 model year is ending and salesman are scrambling to get cars off the lot before January.
4. Customers have come to expect all retailers to offer big one-day deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so car dealerships want to take advantage of that expectation with special promotions.

Below are some of the best Black Friday car deals.  Please note, I purposely do not include lease offers as I strongly believe leasing is almost always a bad deal for the customer.

Top 5 Car Deals This Month (editor’s picks)

The month of November offers many brand new finance deals and returning incentives for prospective customers. As the year comes to a close, manufacturers are offering big deals for the 2018 models. Some manufacturers are already offering appealing incentives for the 2019 models in November. Top car manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes are offering exciting new deals for this month.

1. 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
   Voted as one of the best luxury midsize cars for families, the 2019 E-Class is a top pick for anyone looking for a safe, high performance, luxury sedan. Mercedes has only offered lease deals for the past couple of months so this is a perfect, and somewhat rare, opportunity for buyers. The 2.99% financing deal is only available until 11/30/2018. The 2018/2019 GLC-Class also offer 2.99% financing this month.
2. 2019 BMW 2-Series and 5-Series
   BMW is offering brand new finance deals to many of their 2019 models this month. Buyers who were waiting for the new models should take notice. This 4.35% finance deal also applies to the 2018 model, but this is the first time they are offering special deals for the 2019 models. This deal is available until 12/02/2018. In addition, BMW are offering the same finance deals on the 2019 X4 and X6 models.
3. 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500
   Chevy increased the amount on many of their cash back incentives for November. Chevy offered $2,750 for this full-size pickup truck in October and it has risen to $5,000 for November, available until 11/30/2018. They are also offering increased cash back incentives on non-pickup trucks. The reliable 2018 Chevy Malibu has a $3,250 cash back deal, compared to last month’s $2,500.
4. 2018 Lexus IS
   Lexus kept a similar deal for this model in November, but have only made it more appealing to buyers. Lexus is preparing for the 2019 models, so they are offering great finance deals in addition to the existing cash back deal. Last month, the 2018 IS had a $3,000 cash back deal with 3.9%. This month we see this offer get better with 0.00% financing with the same great cash back deal. This offer is available until 12/03/2018.
5. 2019 Honda Civic
   Honda have removed many deals from October, but they have one eye-catching deal for one of their most popular models. The newer 2019 Civic model comes with a redesigned front end and new active-safety features. The 1.9% financing deal is available until 1/02/2019.
