7 Best Luxury Car Sales in December: Year-End Clearance Begins
As dealerships rush to offload their 2025 inventory to make room for new arrivals, the compelling offers available on select luxury models may have you rethinking how you’ll arrive in style in 2026. Many automakers even entice consumers with substantial savings on upcoming 2026 models, upping the ante before closing out their books. If you’ve held out this long for a luxury vehicle, now’s the time to act on some of the best luxury year-end car sales.
2025 Lincoln Nautilus
Best Deal: 0% APR for 48 months, or lease for $649/month for 36 months with $2,074 down
Lincoln luxury SUVs occupy two spots on our list of the best luxury car sales in December, including the larger 2025 Nautilus and the smaller 2025 Corsair. Both benefit from interest-free financing on four-year loans, but you can also lease the Nautilus Premiere AWD for $649 a month for three years, with only $2,074 due at signing.
These offers are good through January 5, 2026. See Lincoln offer details.

2025 Lincoln Corsair
Best Deal: 0% APR for 48 months, or lease for $499/month for 36 months with $499 down
Albeit a smaller luxury SUV, the Corsair is hardly lacking in refinement. Pay no interest on the 2025 model with a four-year loan to bank significant savings, or lease for only $499 a month with only one month’s payment due at signing to keep more of your holiday bonus in reserve.
These offers expire January 5, 2026. See Lincoln offer details.

2026 BMW X3
Best Deal: 0.9% APR for 60 months
The 2026 BMW X3 strikes a sophisticated balance between a capable city car and a powerful yet smooth highway cruiser. Five-year loans on the 2026 model carry a sub-1% interest rate, resulting in more savings than the same APR for a 48-month loan available on X1, X5, 3-Series, and i4 models.
Offers on select BMW models expire January 2, 2026. See BMW offer details.

2025 Land Rover Discovery P300S
Best Deal: 1.9% APR for 60 months
If you’re on the hunt for one of the best luxury year-end car sales you won’t see any other time of the year, head over to your nearest Jaguar Land Rover dealership. A 1.9% interest rate across a 60-month loan term is practically unheard of for this iconic luxury brand, especially on one of its flagship models.
This rare deal expires January 2, 2026. See Land Rover offer details.

2026 Infiniti QX80
Best Deal: $9,000 cash bonus
The full-size, fully equipped 2026 Infiniti QX80 delivers a doorbusting deal worth considering as you mark the remaining days off your 2025 calendar. Infiniti currently offers a $9,000 cash bonus—the equivalent of about 10% off MSRP—on the newest QX80 models, but keep in mind that it’s not combinable with financing offers.
This offer expires January 5, 2026. See Infiniti offer details.

2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC
Best Deal: 1.9% APR for 36 months, or lease for $579/month for 39 months with $4,993 down
The weather outside might be frightfully cold, but inside the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC, you can conquer practically any terrain with ease. Take advantage of low-APR financing for 36 months, or lease for an additional three months with less than $5,000 due at signing.
These deals are only available for a limited time. See Mercedes-Benz offer details.

2026 Cadillac Optiq Luxury
Best Deal: 2.9% APR for 60 months with $2,000 cash bonus, or lease for $319/month for 24 months with $4,969 down
Year’s end can be a bittersweet time for some, but for those who can’t resist the beauty of the 2026 Cadillac Optiq Luxury, the domestic luxury brand sweetens the pot with a $2,000 cash bonus and 2.9% APR for 60 months. If you’re not sold on the luxury EV SUV just yet, a two-year lease and around $5,000 down give you first-hand experience.
These deals won’t stick around long. See Cadillac offer details.

Save 20% or More on Leftover 2024 Models in December
If there’s one thing many Americans look forward to after their Thanksgiving gatherings, it’s a meal made from a smorgasbord of leftovers from their plentiful feasts. Often these leftovers tend to taste better the second day (and third and fourth, etc.). What if I told you the same sentiment could be applied to year-end deals on leftover 2024 models?
Heading into the year-end deal season, 53,411 new 2024 models sit unsold on dealership lots. For December car shoppers, these previously passed over yet brand-new models represent significant savings—we’re talking up to 20% off MSRP. Even dealerships know that the best leftovers end up as waste if you don’t make something of them.
Why So Many 2024 Models Remain Unsold
Tariff uncertainty earlier this year delayed automakers from fully transitioning to the next model year, pushing back 2026 model arrivals a few months. With the tariff situation fluctuating almost daily, automakers held off on imports. As we move into December, 53,227 brand-new 2024 models remain unsold—over 4,000 more (2023) models than were leftover this time last year.
Total new car inventory totaled 3.4 million units as of early December. With over 1.9 million models available, 2026 variants top the list, followed by more than 1.3 million 2025 models. In the face of so many new cars to offload, many take it as a sign of a buyer’s market.
Save 20% on 2024 Leftovers
One of the biggest drawbacks of buying a new car is the immediate depreciation hit, lowering your car’s value before the odometer registers a single mile. However, with insider market data and an AI negotiator agent at your side through CarEdge Pro, you can take advantage of year-end car-buying bargains and get the best price without the awkward dealership experience. Set your sights on 15-20% off MSRP, and you could arrive in the new year with one more reason to be thankful.
Highest 2024 Unsold Inventory Levels: Top Brands
Ford, Chevrolet, RAM, Hyundai, GMC, and Kia top the list of brands with the highest remaining 2024 inventory. Before you get too far into the list below, it’s important to recognize that a higher 2024 inventory level doesn’t necessarily translate to less desirable models. Instead, it can indicate a larger brand that potentially offers a wider range of models to choose from.
Ford: 16,298 Leftover 2024s
Ford is quietly sitting on thousands of unsold 2024 models. In fact, the Ford Expedition made our list of the worst Black Friday deals, so a heavily-discounted 2024 model might be your best bet. Here’s a look at some Ford models with plenty of leftover 2024 inventory:
- 2024 Ford Transit: 1,950 units
- 2024 Ford F-150: 1,450 units
- 2024 Ford Escape: 902 units
- 2024 Ford Bronco Sport: 676 units
- 2024 Ford Bronco 4-Door: 596 units
Chevrolet: 10,234 Units
With just over 10,000 leftover 2024 models to offload, Chevy looks to close out 2025 with some of its best sales on EVs, including the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Equinox EV. However, there are plenty of 2024 ICE models left to sell, too. Here’s where you’ll find the most Chevy 2024 inventory:
- 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: 955 units
- 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: 850 units
- 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: 730 units
RAM: 4,672 Units
The RAM lineup includes its workhorse pickup and ProMaster cargo van series. With fewer than 5,000 leftover 2024 models available, it’s time to crunch some numbers and compare costs to see if adding one to your garage makes financial sense.
- 2024 Ram 2500: 1,205 units
- 2024 Ram 3500: 905 units
Hyundai: 1,711 Units
We ranked the Hyundai IONIQ 6 among the top five cars with the lowest 10-year maintenance costs. If you’re on the fence about going electric, Hyundai offers an industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. With the federal tax credit over, these top-rated EVs are slow to sell.
- 2024 Hyundai Tucson: 462 units
- 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: 237 units
- 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz: 160 units
- 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5: 150 units
GMC: 1,657 Units
Although GMC’s SUVs sell quickly, high-dollar trucks are sitting on dealer lots. The GMC Sierra 3500HD ranks first on our list of models with the best resale value (rankings: lowest depreciation) after five years.
- 2024 GMC Hummer EV: 299 units
- 2024 GMC Sierra 1500: 266 units
- 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD: 251 units
Kia: 1,272 Units
Buying a new car doesn’t always translate to paying top dollar to own it. Kia made our list of the top 10 cheapest cars based on five-year ownership costs, with both the Kia Niro and Kia K5 models costing less than $40,000 to own across five years.
- 2024 Kia Sportage: 240 units
- 2024 Kia Sorento: 238 units
- 2024 Kia Niro: 149 units

How many ways can you prepare a Thanksgiving turkey? We’d guess nearly as many F-150 trims as there are available from Ford. Unless you plan to put your new F-150 straight into the workforce, the STX model is where the most basic yet modern features come into play. With MSRPs ranging from $40,045 to $77,895, much can set any given F-150 apart from another—besides being built Ford tough.

Modes, Ford’s standard suite of Co-Pilot360 safety technologies, and a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine capable of an estimated 25 MPG city and 30 MPG highway.
