We are not going to deceive you. New cars are expensive and it is increasingly difficult to find discounts at dealerships. The year started with price increases and inflation continues to affect vehicles as well.
We mentioned last month that there is an increasing commitment to formulas such as leasing to access vehicles and that the weight of the dealer as a price setter is less and less. Of course, in the current context they are still important and, although they do not have as much impact on the market as they have much less stock, there are still possibilities of finding good discounts.
In February, the average discounts (difference between the PVP announced by the manufacturer and the one announced by the dealer on cars.com) is 8.38%. They are lower than in January, when they were 8.74%. That average dealer discount changes a lot depending on the type of vehicle you’re looking for, as we break it down in this table:
