The Most Negotiable New Cars for Year-End 2026, Ranked by Days' Supply

The most negotiable new cars for year-end 2026 are the models with the most market day supply. In CarEdge’s national snapshot of October 27, 2026, those are the Dodge Charger (289 days), Jeep Grand Wagoneer (273), Jeep Grand Wagoneer L (252), Buick Envision (239), and Chevrolet Blazer EV (217). Days’ supply is on-lot inventory divided by the average daily sales rate over the past 45 days. The higher the number, the more cars a dealer has waiting for each buyer.

13 models with at least 1,000 units on dealer lots carry more than 180 days of supply. The full ranking, segment cuts, and the fastest sellers are below.

Source: CarEdge national market day supply, snapshot October 27, 2026. Each row sums the current and next model year (for example, 2026 and 2027) and folds hybrid and plug-in versions into the nameplate.

Read the two price columns as averages across different vehicles, not as a discount. The average listing price covers cars on lots today. The average sold price covers cars sold in the last 45 days, which can skew toward pricier trims. That is why the sold average sits above the listing average on the Charger, Blazer EV, and Navigator.

Jeep and Ram account for six of the 13 models. Jeep alone has four: the Grand Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer L, Gladiator, and Compass.

Most Negotiable by Segment

These cuts add high-volume models from CarEdge’s best-selling list that sit below the top 13 but still carry 95 days of supply or more. Segment labels are editorial.

Trucks

Model	Days’ supply	On dealer lots	Sold in last 45 days
Jeep Gladiator	210	14,693	3,151
Ram 2500	187	31,000	7,464

Chevrolet Silverado 1500	100	80,860	36,439
Ford F-150	96	90,356	42,177

The full-size trucks sell in volume and still carry 96 to 170 days of supply. The F-150 has more units on lots than any model in CarEdge’s lists: 90,356.

SUVs

Model	Days’ supply	On dealer lots	Sold in last 45 days
Jeep Grand Wagoneer	273	9,786	1,612
Jeep Grand Wagoneer L	252	2,985	534
Buick Envision	239	13,195	2,480
Jeep Compass	204	17,558	3,865
Audi SQ5	192	4,061	950
Buick Encore GX	185	13,275	3,221
Lincoln Navigator	184	7,835	1,917
Ford Bronco	135	82,888	27,707
Ford Explorer	115	55,371	21,617
Kia Sportage	95	41,271	19,533

For a mainstream budget, the Encore GX ($31,066 average listing) and Compass ($33,198) combine low prices with more than 180 days of supply.

Cars

Model	Days’ supply	On dealer lots	Sold in last 45 days
Dodge Charger	289	8,209	1,277
Genesis G80	197	1,578	361

Only two cars clear the 1,000-unit floor on the slow side of CarEdge’s lists. The highest-volume sedans sell much faster: the Toyota Camry has 17 days of supply, the Corolla 25, and the Honda Accord 62.

EVs and hybrids

Model	Days’ supply	On dealer lots	Sold in last 45 days
Chevrolet Blazer EV	217	2,117	439

The Blazer EV is the only EV above the 1,000-unit floor on the slow side. Other EVs sell faster: the Kia EV9 has 29 days of supply and the Honda Prologue 30. CarEdge folds hybrid and plug-in versions into each nameplate, so hybrids do not appear as separate rows.

Which Models Gained the Most Supply in October?

Supply on the trucks and big SUVs grew through October. Days’ supply between CarEdge’s October 1 and October 27, 2026 snapshots:

Model	Oct 1, 2026	Oct 27, 2026	Change
Dodge Charger	245	289	+44
Jeep Grand Wagoneer	233	273	+40
Ford Bronco	101	135	+34
Ford Explorer	92	115	+23
Ford F-150	81	96	+15
Ram 1500	156	170	+14
Jeep Compass	190	204	+14
Jeep Gladiator	200	210	+10
Chevrolet Silverado 1500	92	100	+8
Chevrolet Blazer EV	238	217	-21

The Blazer EV is the one model here where supply fell.

Fastest Sellers: Expect Little Room

These models sell fastest among those with at least 1,000 units on dealer lots. Dealers have little reason to discount them.

Model	Days’ supply	On dealer lots	Sold in last 45 days
Toyota Land Cruiser	10	1,352	5,824
Toyota Corolla Cross	11	6,220	26,293
Toyota Grand Highlander	11	7,525	29,953
Lexus GX	16	1,259	3,580
Toyota Camry	17	23,021	62,381
Toyota RAV4	17	27,303	72,107
Toyota Highlander	20	3,231	7,399
Toyota Sienna	20	10,771	23,773
Toyota Corolla	25	19,860	36,076
Toyota Tacoma	26	30,474	52,384
Toyota Sequoia	26	4,013	6,833

The RAV4 sold 72,107 units in 45 days, more than any other model in CarEdge’s data. On these models, the realistic goal is a fair out-the-door price with no add-ons, not a large discount.

How to Use Days’ Supply in a Negotiation

1. Check the number for your exact model. CarEdge’s slowest-selling cars page updates days’ supply monthly. Above roughly 90 days, the dealer has more inventory than recent sales can clear in a quarter.
2. Get written out-the-door quotes from several dealers. A high-supply model is on many lots, so dealers compete for the same buyer. Compare the out-the-door price, not the monthly payment.
3. State the supply as a fact. “This model has more than 200 days of supply nationally, and I have two other quotes” is a stronger position than asking for the best price.
4. On fast sellers, negotiate fees and add-ons. Under 30 days of supply, push back on dealer fees and add-ons you did not ask for.
5. Time the signature. Start by December 15 and buy or lease by December 31. The strongest dealer push usually runs from December 26 into the first days of January.

The Bottom Line

The Charger, Grand Wagoneer, and full-size trucks give buyers the most leverage this year-end, and their supply grew through October. Buyers who bring the days’ supply number and competing written quotes negotiate from facts the dealer cannot dispute.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most negotiable new cars for year-end 2026?

Per CarEdge’s national snapshot of October 27, 2026, the high-volume models with the most days’ supply are the Dodge Charger (289 days), Jeep Grand Wagoneer (273), Jeep Grand Wagoneer L (252), Buick Envision (239), and Chevrolet Blazer EV (217). The ranking includes only models with at least 1,000 units on dealer lots.

What does days’ supply mean when buying a car?

Days’ supply, or market day supply, is the number of days current on-lot inventory would last at the recent sales pace. CarEdge calculates it as on-lot inventory divided by the average daily sales rate over the past 45 days. A model at 200 days has far more cars waiting per buyer than a model at 20 days, which gives the buyer more room to negotiate.

Which new cars have the least room to negotiate right now?

Toyota and Lexus models sell fastest in CarEdge’s October 27, 2026 snapshot. The Toyota Land Cruiser has 10 days of supply, the Corolla Cross and Grand Highlander 11 each, the Lexus GX 16, and the Camry and RAV4 17 each. On these models, focus the negotiation on fees and add-ons rather than a large discount off MSRP.

Which trucks are most negotiable at year-end 2026?

Among trucks with at least 1,000 units on dealer lots, the Jeep Gladiator has 210 days of supply, the Ram 2500 187, the Ram 3500 185, and the Ram 1500 170, per CarEdge’s October 27, 2026 snapshot. The GMC Sierra 1500 (104 days), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (100), and Ford F-150 (96) also sit well above the Toyota Tacoma (26) and Tundra (35).

When is the best time to buy a car at year-end 2026?

CarEdge recommends starting by December 15 and buying or leasing by December 31, 2026. The strongest dealer push usually runs from December 26 into the first days of January, when monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets land in the same week.

How CarEdge Measures This

• Days’ supply is CarEdge’s national market day supply: on-lot inventory (in-transit and unavailable vehicles excluded) divided by the average daily sales rate over the past 45 days. Inventory and sales are summed across the current and next model year and across hybrid and plug-in versions of the same nameplate. Snapshot date: October 27, 2026. The October 1, 2026 snapshot supplies the change table.
• Volume floor: this guide includes only models with at least 1,000 units on dealer lots. CarEdge’s own floor is 100. The higher floor removes thin-volume models where a few sales swing the number.
• Excluded: the 2026 Jeep Recon, a new launch with 262 units on lots and 19 sales in 45 days. New launches stock dealer lots before deliveries ramp, so their early days’ supply does not reflect demand.
• Coverage: rows come from CarEdge’s published national lists of the 25 fastest-selling, slowest-selling, best-selling, and worst-selling models. A model outside those lists does not appear in the segment cuts. The fastest-sellers table lists the 11 quickest models above the same 1,000-unit floor.
• External data: average transaction price and incentive share from the Kelley Blue Book September 2026 ATP report. For context on last year’s December, see the Kelley Blue Book December 2025 ATP report. The FTC’s guide to financing or leasing a car covers the contract fine print.
