Thinking about buying an SUV? You’re not alone — especially with growing families and weekend road-trippers turning to reliable pre-owned vehicles. But did you know that timing your purchase could save you thousands?

Here’s what every smart buyer needs to know about getting the best deal on used SUVs for sale in London, Ontario.

Best Seasons to Buy a Used SUV

1. End of the Year (November–December)
   This is often the best time of year to buy. Dealerships are clearing inventory to hit year-end sales targets, which means budget SUVs for sale in London, Ontario may come with extra discounts, financing offers, or trade-in bonuses.
2. End of the Month or Quarter
   Salespeople are working toward monthly or quarterly goals. Visiting during the last few days of the month could get you a better price or extra perks.
3. Late Winter to Early Spring (February–March)
   Fewer people shop for cars in cold weather, which means less competition and more room to negotiate. It's also when many trade-ins from the previous year start arriving — expanding inventory of family SUVs for sale in London, Ontario.

When You Might Want to Wait

• Summer months (June–August) tend to be busier, especially with families shopping before road trips. While selection is good, prices are usually higher.
• Tax return season (March–April) can also push prices up due to increased buyer demand.

Dealer Secrets: How to Save More

• Ask about clearance sales. Many dealerships, including Southdale Motors, run seasonal or pickup truck clearance sales in London, which sometimes extend to SUVs.
• Check for financing promos. The best used car financing in London, Ontario is often available during off-peak seasons.
• Look for low-mileage trade-ins. Certified SUVs with fewer kilometers often show up during peak trade-in months.
