he demand for a "hot" car presents a dilemma: While shoppers are attracted to these vehicles' new and unique features, they also come with a higher price tag.
"Dealers offer few – if any – incentives on the newest, most buzz-worthy cars, and shoppers will likely have very little room to negotiate," says Edmunds.com Consumer Advice Editor Carroll Lachnit. "So if shoppers are patient enough to wait a few months for the buzz to subside, they're more likely to score a better deal."
Of course, many shoppers need a vehicle right away, and don't have the luxury to wait until the excitement dies down. One efficient way for these shoppers to locate and identify better deals on high-demand cars is to use Edmunds.com's Price Promisesm, which offers users upfront pricing on cars available in their areas. Shoppers can confirm that a fast-selling vehicle is still in stock, and can also learn exactly what they can expect to pay before they walk into the showroom.
