85,000 New 2024s Remain Unsold In Late 2025 – Here’s How Much To Negotiate
Picture this: you walk into a dealership in late 2025, and sitting right there on the lot is a brand-new 2024 model that’s been waiting for a buyer since last year. The dealer is motivated, you have leverage, and thousands of dollars in savings are within reach. Sound too good to be true? It’s not, and it’s happening right now across America.
With 85,000 new 2024 models still unsold as we approach the end of 2025, car shoppers have an opportunity to score major deals on the vehicles that dealers are most eager to move off their lots. Here’s where you’ll find the most negotiable new cars in October, November, and during December’s year-end car sales.
Why 2024s Are Still Sitting on Lots
The numbers tell a compelling story. This year’s carryover inventory is significantly larger than what we saw in 2024. As of late September 2025, there were 85,000 leftover 2024 models on sale in the U.S. That’s compared to just 50,000 leftover 2023s at this same time last year.
Even more surprising? There are still 8,000 new 2023 models sitting unsold as of September 2025.
This surplus didn’t happen by accident. Automakers delayed some 2026 model rollouts and maintained higher inventory levels as the market adjusted to tariffs, interest rate fluctuations, and unpredictable demand for certain trim levels. EVs were slow to sell until the recent urgency to take advantage of expiring federal incentives.
The result is a perfect storm of aging inventory that dealers need to sell. That means serious negotiating power for buyers who know where to look.
Your Target: Negotiate 15-20% Off MSRP
Here’s your baseline: on most leftover 2024 models, you should be targeting at least 15-20% off MSRP to offset the immediate depreciation that comes with buying a previous model year. Be sure to check depreciation forecasts before you buy.
The key is flexibility and strategy. Be open to different colors and option packages, and remember that your savings can come from multiple sources: direct price reductions, finance incentives, and removal of dealer add-ons from your out-the-door price.

The 10 Cars and Trucks with the Most Unsold 2024 Inventory
Based on current inventory levels, these ten models offer the best opportunities for substantial savings. Not coincidentally, they’re dominated by trucks and SUVs—segments where high MSRPs make percentage discounts particularly valuable.
1. Ford F-150 — 2,853 Units (2% of inventory)
America’s bestselling truck also leads the leftover inventory list. With nearly 3,000 2024 F-150s still available, dealers are ready to deal, especially on higher-trim models with inflated MSRPs.
Negotiation Strategy: Start at 20% off MSRP on 2024 F-150s. If they won’t meet your price target, accept a combination of cash discounts and a lower financing rate, often referred to as a ‘rate buydown’. Another option is to let AI do the negotiating for you.
2. Ford Escape — 2,146 Units (6% of inventory)
Ford is discontinuing the Escape at the end of 2025, and sluggish sales likely contributed to the decision. The compact SUV market has been unpredictable, leaving many 2024 Escapes in limbo on dealer lots. Soon, one of the most affordable Ford models will be gone for good.
Negotiation Strategy: Find a dealer with multiple 2024 Escapes and get out-the-door quotes from multiple dealers to negotiate with leverage.
3. Ram 2500 — 1,896 Units (5% of inventory)
Heavy-duty trucks aren’t moving quickly in many markets, particularly high-specification builds that carry premium price tags. In 2025, the Ram 2500 sells for north of $70,000 on average.
Negotiation Strategy: Focus on both price and APR—push for a discount plus rate APR buydown to maximize your monthly payment savings. Financing any high-dollar truck is quite expensive, and a lower APR can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
4. Ford Bronco 4-Door — 1,895 Units (5% of inventory)
The initial Bronco excitement has cooled, leaving plenty of 2024 models for negotiation-minded buyers.
Negotiation Strategy: You should be able to confidently negotiate 15% off MSRP for 2024 Bronco models. If MSRP discounts stall out, negotiate for high-value accessories (roof racks, protection packages) at no charge. These will also help to lift your car’s resale value should you choose to sell.
5. Ford F-250 Super Duty — 1,852 Units (5% of inventory)
Big trucks mean big MSRPs, which translate to big depreciation risks that every buyer should be aware of.
Negotiation Strategy: Anchor your offer at 15-20% off and verify there are no unwanted add-ons or “market adjustment” fees. Here’s which fees are fake, and which are legit.
6. Ford Bronco Sport — 1,672 Units (4% of inventory)
High supply in the crowded compact SUV segment puts the negotiating advantage squarely with buyers. 2024 models are the most negotiable SUVs in the market today.
Negotiation Strategy: Show that you’ve done your market research, and then push aggressively on percentage discounts. You have the advantage when negotiating any year-old model.
7. Dodge Hornet — 1,549 Units (64% of inventory)
More than half of all new Dodge Hornets are 2024 models as of late September 2025. Despite being a newer nameplate, the Hornet has never been a hot seller. In fact, it routinely ranks among the slowest-selling new cars in America. Plenty of 2024 Hornets remain, and Stellantis dealers are motivated to clear them.
Negotiation Strategy: If a straight 20% discount proves difficult, ask for 0% APR to bridge the gap. Leasing may be a better option with little to no money down.
8. Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD — 1,443 Units
Similar to the Ford Super Duty, aging heavy-duty trucks can be negotiated hard in the right circumstances.
Negotiation Strategy: Don’t hesitate to bring up how costly ‘floorplanning expenses’ must be for an expensive truck like this. That’s a big part of why dealers will be happy to sell it at a discount. Be willing to travel to nearby dealers; a short drive can easily be worth several thousand dollars in savings.
9. Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — 1,173 Units
Competitive incentives in the full-size truck segment create high expectations for discounts across all brands.
Negotiation Strategy: Get three out-the-door quotes from different dealers before discussing trade-ins or financing. Or, let CarEdge’s AI Negotiator do it all for you.
10. Ford Ranger — 1,062 Units (5% of inventory)
Midsize trucks face pressure in many regions as 2024s compete with incoming 2025s and 2026s for lot space.
Negotiation Strategy: Use dealer-to-dealer competition on identical or nearly identical stock numbers.
The Stellantis Story: Where the Deals Are Deepest
When we examine the data by manufacturer, one pattern emerges clearly: Stellantis brands are dramatically overrepresented in carryover inventory, creating big opportunities for buyers who know where to look.
The numbers are striking:
- Ram: 6,629 leftover 2024s (approximately 5.0% of Ram’s total new inventory)
- Jeep: 3,812 leftover 2024s (approximately 2.5% of total inventory)
- Dodge: 2,304 leftover 2024s (approximately 13.8% of total inventory)
- Alfa Romeo: 422 leftover 2024s (approximately 23.6% of total inventory)
- Maserati: 360 leftover 2024s (approximately 35.6% of total inventory)
Maserati’s situation deserves special attention. With more than one-third of all Maserati inventory consisting of 2024 models, luxury shoppers should negotiate with particular confidence.
High-MSRP vehicles are especially vulnerable to depreciation once they’re considered “last year’s model,” so it’s important to lock in significant savings (15% off MSRP at the very least).
The Bottom Line: The Best Year-End Deals Are Aging Models
With 2026 models approaching and dealers facing carrying costs on aging inventory, the next few months represent prime negotiating season for leftover 2024s. Whether you’re shopping for a Ford F-150, a Jeep SUV, or any of the other models with substantial carryover inventory, your goal should be clear: secure at least 15-20% off MSRP through some combination of cash discounts, financing rate buydowns, and fee elimination (especially for unwanted add-ons).
The key to success is preparation and persistence. Know your goals, understand the local market, and negotiate from a position of strength. With 85,000 leftover 2024s still waiting for buyers, the deals are out there. And now, you know where to find them.
Time is a factor, but it’s working in your favor for now. The longer these vehicles sit, the more motivated dealers become. Start your search today, and you could drive away with both a great car and bragging rights about the deal you negotiated.

7 Questions Every Car Salesperson Should Answer — No Exceptions
Buying a car is a big deal, and it’s normal to have a lot of questions. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or have been through the process before, knowing what to ask can make everything a lot smoother. Here are some common questions every car dealer should be prepared to answer, so you can feel confident and informed about your purchase. Remember, knowing the right questions to ask when buying a car can make all the difference. Knowledge is power when it comes to buying a car in 2025!
What is the Out-the-Door Price of the car?
Why it’s important: One of the most important questions to ask when buying a car is about the total price, commonly referred to as the ‘Out-the-Door Price’. Knowing the OTD price, including taxes, fees, and any add-ons, helps you understand the full financial commitment. A reputable dealer should provide a clear breakdown of these costs. Try our free Out-the-Door Price Calculator to get a feel for the numbers to expect.
How Long Has It Been On the Lot?
Why it’s important: First of all, knowing how long a specific VIN has been waiting for a buyer gives you an instant snapshot of the negotiability. The longer a car sits, the more car dealers are willing to cut you a deal. Dealerships finance their inventory, and these ‘floorplanning costs’ add up quickly in today’s high-interest environment.

What manufacturer or dealer incentives are available?
See the best new car incentives this month!
Why it’s important: Understanding the available APR offers, cash discounts and rebates, or lease specials can help you make an informed decision. Sometimes, the salesperson may not mention all offers unless you inquire. Asking about what incentives are available and when they expire is one of the essential questions to ask when buying a car.
Can I take the car for a test drive?
Why it’s important: A test drive allows you to experience the car’s performance, comfort, and features firsthand. A reputable dealer will always allow a test drive, giving you the chance to ensure the car meets your expectations. No test drive? No deal!
What are the terms of the warranty?
Why it’s important: Understanding the terms of the warranty is essential for knowing what is covered and for how long. Asking detailed questions about the warranty coverage, including any exclusions and the duration of the coverage, can help you make an informed decision.
It’s important to ask 1) who the extended warranty is managed by (for example Fair, AUL, Endurance, or one of the other companies), 2) the duration of the coverage (mileage and time period), 3) covered components (the details matter, feel free to ask for the contract), 4) the deductible amount if you file a claim, and 5) if roadside assistance is included.
Before you agree to any coverage, compare your offer to CarEdge’s Extended Warranty, backed by Fair’s trusted coverage.
Can I see the vehicle history report? (Used Cars)
Why it’s important: For used cars, a vehicle history report includes information about accidents, repairs, and previous ownership. This report is crucial for assessing the car’s condition and history, making it one of the key questions to ask when buying a used car.
If you’re shopping at a dealership, never pay for this report. It should be offered free of charge. If it’s not available, that’s a red flag! We’d advise you to look elsewhere, no matter how ‘perfect’ the car seemed.
Can I have the car inspected by an independent mechanic? (Used Cars)
Why it’s important: Having the car inspected by an independent mechanic is especially important for used cars. The industry term for this is a Pre-Purchase Inspection (learn more about PPIs here). This inspection can reveal any potential issues that may not be apparent during a test drive.
If the dealer shows any hesitation about letting you get the car inspected by an independent mechanic (ie one that’s NOT working at the dealership), there may be something they’re hiding. What good is a used car if you end up needing thousands of dollars in maintenance when you drive it home?
Frequently Asked Questions When Buying a Car
Q: What is the Out-the-Door Price?
A: The out-the-door (OTD) price includes the vehicle’s sticker price plus taxes, dealer fees, and any add-ons. Always ask for this number to understand your total financial commitment. Try CarEdge’s free Out-the-Door Price Calculator to see what to expect.
Q: How long has this car been on the lot?
A: The longer a car sits, the more negotiable it becomes. Dealers pay financing costs (floorplanning), so vehicles on the lot for months often come with better discounts. CarEdge Pro reveals days on lot, invoice pricing, and market supply data. Even better, our AI Negotiator includes these data points and more, without you lifting a finger.
Q: What manufacturer or dealer incentives are available? Can I stack them?
A: Cash rebates, APR offers, and lease specials can save you thousands, but not all salespeople will mention them upfront. Ask about current offers, expiration dates, and whether they stack. See the best new car incentives this month at the CarEdge Best Deals Hub.
Q: Can I take the car for a test drive?
A: Of course! If any seller dares to say no, that’s an immediate dealbreaker. A test drive helps you evaluate comfort, performance, and features. If a dealer or private seller refuses, that’s a red flag. No test drive? No deal.
Q: What are the terms of the warranty?
A: Ask about who manages the coverage, how long it lasts, what’s included, the deductible, and if roadside assistance is covered. Compare the dealer’s offer with CarEdge’s Extended Warranty backed by Fair, so you know you’re protected.
Q: Can I see the vehicle history report? (For used cars)
A: This report shows accidents, ownership history, and major repairs. Dealers should provide it for free—if they won’t, walk away. It’s a must-have when buying used.
Q: Can I get the car inspected by an independent mechanic? (For used cars)
A: A Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) can uncover hidden issues. If a dealer hesitates to allow one, take that as a warning sign. Spending a little upfront could save you thousands in surprise repairs. Learn how PPIs work.
Skip the Dealership – There’s a Better Way to Buy
Navigating the car buying process can be overwhelming, but equipping yourself with these questions to ask when buying a car can help you feel more confident and informed. Understanding the OTD price, days on the lot, incentives, and other crucial details ensures you make a smart buying decision

5 Tips and Tricks to Get the Best Year-End Car Deal
Year-end car shopping is a goldmine for savings, but only if you know how to approach it. We’re glad you found us, because you’ve come to the right place. Dealers and automakers are under pressure to hit sales targets, clear out old inventory, and start the new year strong. That means zero percent financing, cash discounts, and motivated salespeople.
We spoke to CarEdge Co-Founder and auto industry veteran Ray Shefska to see how the pros do it. Here are five tips and tricks to help you get the best year-end car deal in December of 2025. The best time of the year to buy a car is finally here.
1. Timing Is Everything
The best time to buy a car is late in the day, late in the month, and especially in December. The final days of the month tilt the odds in your favor as sales teams scramble to meet quotas. December is a double-whammy, as dealers and automakers try to meet both annual and quarterly sales goals.
But there’s another overlooked factor: the day of the week. Most shoppers pack dealerships on weekends, which leaves you competing for attention. CarEdge Co-Founder and 44-year industry veteran Ray Shefska puts it plainly:
“The best day to buy? Wednesday. Traffic is light, and if you show you’re serious about buying that day, you’re more likely to find a motivated salesperson ready to make a deal.”
Here’s a real-world example: A CarEdge member in Ohio reported saving several hundred dollars off MSRP just by coming in on a Wednesday near the end of December. The salesperson admitted they were behind on their monthly goal and “needed the sale.” See the latest success stories, or share your own, at the CarEdge Community Forum.
Go when the dealership is quiet and the clock is ticking. That’s when you’ll find sales staff most motivated to say “yes.”
2. Don’t Show Your Cards Too Soon
Dealers are trained to ask early if you’re paying cash, financing, or trading in. The goal? To use that info against you, reshuffling numbers to maximize their profit. If you reveal your plan too soon, you give them the upper hand.
Instead, keep the conversation focused on one thing: negotiating the lowest Out-the-Door Price for the vehicle. Once that’s nailed down, only then should you bring up financing or trade-ins. Treat each as a separate transaction.
Real-world example: A California buyer went into a Honda dealership intending to trade in a 2019 CR-V. By waiting until after securing the lowest OTD price on the new car, they avoided the dealer blending trade-in value into the deal. The result? They saved an additional $1,500 compared to the dealer’s first “package offer.”
Keep your cards close until the price is locked. It’s one of the simplest tricks that saves buyers thousands.
3. Stack Incentives
Most buyers know about cash rebates and low APR financing, but fewer realize how often you can combine multiple incentives, from loyalty cash to regional bonuses. Some automakers even offer hidden discounts for groups like first responders, military, educators, or recent grads.
The trick is to ask the dealer to show you every incentive you qualify for, including the ones they might not advertise.
Real-world example: Last month, a shopper buying a Chevy Equinox combined a $1,000 loyalty incentive with a $750 regional bonus and a $500 educator discount, on top of a $2,000 cash rebate that was advertised nationally. It can’t hurt to ask!
Don’t just settle for what’s listed online. Dig deeper, ask questions, and stack those offers to shrink your out-the-door price.
4. Consider Lease Buyouts and End-of-Lease Options
In 2025, leasing remains popular for models that depreciate quickly, like EVs and luxury cars. If your lease is ending around year-end, don’t assume you have to start fresh with a new deal. You have several options to consider. Sometimes, buying out your lease is the smarter move, especially if your residual value is lower than today’s market prices.
Another option is rolling into a new lease with extra perks. Dealers may throw in loyalty cash or waive fees to keep you with the brand. If you’re just one to three months away from the end of your lease, ask if there are any lease loyalty perks for rolling into a new lease, either now or when your lease ends.
Real-world example: A few years ago, Tesla lessees found that buying out their Model 3 leases was cheaper than trying to lease or finance a new one after used Tesla prices spiked. Meanwhile, BMW dealers offered up to $1,500 in loyalty cash for customers ending a lease and starting a new one before December 31.
Consider ALL of your lease-end options. Year-end deals apply here too, and sometimes they’re the best deals of all.
5. Use Local Market Data For Leverage
Walking into a dealership blind is a mistake. Inventory levels, selling rates, and local price trends tell you everything you need to know about a new or used car’s negotiability. Your understanding of the local market can make or break your negotiating leverage. Luckily, new tools exist in 2025 that the last generation of car buyers could have only dreamed of.
Knowledge is power. CarEdge Pro makes it simple to check which cars are overpriced or negotiable in your area before you ever step foot in the showroom. Armed with data, you control the conversation.
Or, better yet, have your personal AI Negotiator handle it all for you. From negotiating with thousands of local market data points to effectively talking the price down, over 3,000 shoppers have saved money with CarEdge AI. Try the NEW easiest way to negotiate car prices.
Frequently Asked Questions About Year-End Car Deals
Q: When is the best time to buy a car?
A: The best car deals of the year arrive in the latter half of December, especially from December 20–31. Dealers and automakers are racing to hit end-of-month and year-end sales targets, which makes them more flexible on pricing. If you can, shop mid-week (like Wednesday) when traffic is light, and salespeople are eager to close a deal.
Q: Should I tell the dealer if I’m paying cash or trading in?
A: Not right away. If you reveal your payment method or trade-in plans too early, the dealer can use that information to shift numbers in their favor. Always negotiate the Out-the-Door Price first, then bring up financing and trade-ins as separate discussions.
Q: Can I combine different discounts and incentives?
A: Yes, usually. Many incentives can be “stacked.” Cash rebates, low APR financing, loyalty bonuses, regional offers, and even discounts for educators, first responders, or military members may all apply. Always ask the dealer to show you every incentive you qualify for, even the ones they don’t advertise. When it comes to incentives that often can’t be stacked, those are usually going to be huge cash discounts and low-APR financing offers. Check the fine print on any advertised deals before heading to the dealership.
Q: How do I know if a car is negotiable at year-end?
A: Local market insights provide the best clues. Models with high market day supply are usually negotiable, while fast-selling, low-supply vehicles have less wiggle room. Tools like CarEdge Pro let you see which cars are overpriced, underpriced, or sitting too long on lots in your area, so you know where you have leverage before you step into the showroom. Check out the slowest-selling cars in your area.
Most of All, Negotiate with Confidence!
Year-end car buying shouldn’t be stressful—it’s your best opportunity to drive home a deal to be proud of. From timing your purchase and stacking incentives, to holding back key details until the right moment, these tips are guaranteed to give you the upper hand when it matters most.
And remember: the best negotiator is the one who comes prepared. With CarEdge, you can see which cars are overpriced, which are negotiable, and how much room is left in the deal—so you walk into the dealership with confidence, and walk out with savings. Or, you can have your anonymous, personal AI negotiator do it all for you.
These October New Car Specials Are Already Here
If Halloween decorations filling store shelves are any sign, fall is here — and automakers are getting an early start, too. October incentives are already rolling out, even though September isn’t over. Acura, Honda, and Volkswagen have all dropped their October offers ahead of schedule, giving buyers a jump on low-APR financing and competitive lease deals.
Here’s a look at the top offers announced so far. All of these deals are valid through November 3, 2025, unless otherwise noted.
Acura’s October Deals
Acura is leaning into affordable financing this fall, with rates well below the national average. According to Cox Automotive, the average new car loan APR is 9.43%, although buyers with credit scores over 760 average 5.50% as of September 2025.
- 2025 Acura ADX — 3.99% APR for 60 months
- 2025 Acura RDX — 4.99% APR for 60 months
- 2026 Acura MDX — 4.99% APR for 60 months
- 2025 Acura Integra — Lease from $369/month for 48 months with $3,799 due at signing
Acura rarely matches luxury rivals on incentives, but 3.99% APR for the ADX stands out. The Integra lease is competitive for shoppers looking at entry-level luxury leases.
Honda’s October Deals
Honda continues to outdo Toyota when it comes to incentives. All of these Honda deals are good through October.
- 2025 Honda Prologue finance deal — 0% APR for 60 months. Also qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV credit if you purchase before September 30, 2025.
- 2025 Honda Prologue lease deal — Lease from $179/month for 24 months with $3,299 due at signing
- 2025 Honda Ridgeline — 1.99% APR for 72 months
- 2025 Honda Accord — 2.99% APR for 60 months, or 3.99% APR for 72 months
- 2026 Honda CR-V — 3.99% APR for 60 months
Honda’s Prologue offer is a great deal, especially with the soon-to-expire federal EV credit. If you’re considering Honda’s first all-electric SUV, September 30 is the deadline to lock in maximum savings.
Otherwise, Honda doesn’t have to offer big incentives since their cars usually fly off dealer lots. With that said, the Accord and CR-V have great APR offers for October.
Volkswagen’s 2025 Deals
Volkswagen is pairing low APRs with bonus cash for its larger models while keeping leases affordable on entry-level crossovers.
- 2025 Volkswagen Atlas — 1.9% APR for 60 months or $3,500 cash bonus
- 2025 Volkswagen Taos — Lease from $259/month for 36 months with $4,299 due at signing
The Atlas deal is flexible, letting buyers choose between low-interest financing or a hefty cash rebate. Just note: VW’s EV deals on the ID.4 and ID.Buzz end in September, so don’t wait if those are on your list. The ID.4 is made in Tennessee, and does qualify for the vanishing federal EV incentive.
The Bottom Line
October incentives are off to an early start, but these aren’t the only deals we’ll see. The vast majority of manufacturer incentives will arrive on the first or second of October. With plenty of 2025 models still on dealer lots this late in the year, we expect plenty of zero percent financing, cash discounts, and cheap leases.
Stay tuned to CarEdge as we track every October car deal. Whether you’re eyeing low APR financing, a competitive lease, or cash rebates, we’ll keep you updated with the latest ways to save.

- MSRP: $51,550
- Offer: $8,000 cash allowance

2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn – 15% Below MSRP
- MSRP: $47,050
- Offer: About $7,000 off depending on build

2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation – 13% Below MSRP
- MSRP: $51,345
- Offer: $6,600 cash allowance

2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe – 12% Below MSRP
- MSRP: $62,285
- Offer: $7,750 cash allowance

2025 Buick Encore GX – 11% Off MSRP
- MSRP: $27,335
- Offer: $3,000 cash allowance
The Encore GX is Buick’s affordable small crossover, and $3,000 off makes this entry-level SUV a great deal. These days, it’s easy to forget that Buick was once known as a luxury brand.
See offer details, or view Buick listings near you.
2025 Nissan Frontier – 10% Off MSRP
- MSRP: $33,745
- Offer: $3,500 cash allowance
Nissan is offering a $3,500 cash discount on the Frontier as the automaker struggles to improve U.S. sales numbers. As Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia have gained fans, Nissan has lost a lot of ground. Car buyers can use that to your advantage.

2025 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4×4 – 10% Off MSRP

Conclusion
September’s cash deals won’t last forever, but luckily year-end sales are just around the corner. If you’re not a fan for any of these offers, chances are you won’t have to wait long to find something you like.
As CarEdge’s Ray Shefska puts it:
“If you don’t see the deal you’re looking for this month, don’t worry — chances are you’ll find it during December’s year-end sales push. Automakers and dealers always get aggressive to clear out inventory before the calendar flips. But if you’re shopping for an EV, now is the time to buy. Federal tax credits expire at the end of September, and waiting could mean leaving thousands on the table.”
