What is the best time to buy a car?

[Derick]

I have been thinking of changing my car and hearing of several months from diff people and now I'm super confuse.

Is there any best time to buy a car here in UAE. I mean for used car and not new cars.

Traditionally. Just before and begining of Summer vacations. As many people sell off their cars they want to get rid of before they go and usually get a new ride before the start of the new school year.

And worst time to buy a 4x4 is at the start of the winter season here i.e now.

But due to the slowdown for the last couple of years it's been a buyers market and more and more people leaving or sending families home. More cars for sale than buyers these day. 

But the above mentioned factors still do come in play

I don't need 4x4 but need a SUV, do you think its good time to buy now or it doesn't matter?

This best time and worst time theory works to an extent only.

I have always bought and sold cars against the tide and still at my own price. Key is be patient.

I agree with @desertdude summer time is best time to buy. However second best time is October-November when newer models are introduced. Just need to know how to drive a bargain.
