CHICAGO, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ongoing
economic uncertainty coupled with extreme weather conditions across
most of the country over the past month has caused a slump in auto
sales and low traffic numbers at dealerships throughout
the United States. With Presidents
Day weekend quickly approaching, a weekend historically known as
one of the best times to purchase a vehicle, industry experts
anticipate consumers to find the best deals of 2014 to date.
"Presidents Day weekend has always been one of the best times of
the year to buy a new car, but we expect this weekend to be even
better in terms of deals for consumers compared to the last few
years," said Jesse Toprak, Chief
Analyst at Cars.com. "The weather has been particularly brutal
recently causing inventory to pile up at many dealerships across
the country and very slow showroom traffic. This may mean that
dealers will be motivated to offer larger-than-normal discounts for
vehicles in competitive segments on top of the already generous
incentive programs offered by the manufacturers."
