This is the Best Time to Buy a New Car: Black Friday Car Deals
If you’re on the fence, or anywhere close to the fence, about buying a new car, Black Friday car deals could be the best time. Impending tariffs could instantly raise the price of cars imported from Canada and Mexico, where many American brands are built, as well as parts and cars imported from around the globe. In fact, no single car is built completely from US-made parts; all carmakers use parts, from chips to mechanical components, imported from other countries.
Not only are prices expected to increase once those imports hit the US, but the cost of replacement parts will go up, as will the price of used cars due to demand. With an average inventory on dealers lots of about two months worth of cars, buyers will start to see the price increases in March.
Your best bet? Hedge against increases by getting your new car now. The good news is that Black Friday car deals make it a great time to buy a car even in a good market. Here are the deals out now; most should last until the end of the month and into the first day or two of December (to let you complete the paperwork).

The Basic Rules on Black Friday Car Deals
Of course, there are rules:
- These are limited time deals and expire soon; check dealer sites for details
- Deals are only on models in stock at dealerships – shop around if you don’t see what you want
- Not all models or trims qualify for deals
- Most models are 2024 models, though some are 2025
- Know your credit score, trade-in value and downpayment before you go to a dealer
- Your credit rating or other factors may impact the type of deal offered
- Line up your own financing independently to ensure you’re getting the best deal
- Use this car loan calculator to figure out your payments
- Read the fine print carefully and understand all terms
If you’re even considering an electric car, the deals are even better. We put together a list of those deals, which can represent a 25% discount from the MSRP.
Our Favorite Audi Models Are On Sale!
We love both Audi models on sale—the Q5 and the Q4 e-tron—for their elegant interiors and great technology. And if you can find a sportback of either model on sale, you’ve really scored. Audi’s Black Friday car deals include $5,500 cash back on the Audi Q5 and $5,000 on the Q4 e-tron EV.
Chevrolet’s EV Offers Are Convincing
Chevy is offering 0% financing on its EVs, the Blazer EV and the Equinox EV. We love these for the range, comforts and best of all, Super Cruise hands free highway driving. Many in the auto industry see the Chevy Equinox EV as one of the best cars on the road, though we’re partial to the Blazer, which has more space and a longer driving range.

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Gets ALL of You There On Time
Chrysler is offering 0% financing or up to $5,000 cash on the Pacifica and Pacifica hybrid. We love both for the style and space, but the PHEV hybrid offers 30 miles of electric driving. Never be late to school again because you had to get gas first.
These Deals on Dodge Durango and Hornet Are Crazy Good
Dodge is a bit of an outlier these days: While the brand has been bullish on its muscle cars, we love the Durango SUV for its 7-passenger capacity, and the Hornet for its cute good looks and hybrid power with more giddy-up than most its size. Dodge is offering up to $5,600 back on the Durango and up to $8,000 back on the Hornet.
Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E Black Friday Car Deals
Like Chevrolet, Ford has added 0% financing incentives to its F-150 Lightning electric truck and Mustang Mach-E sports car, two of our favorites in the Ford lineup. If an EV just isn’t for you, the Ford Edge is offered with up to $5,000 back as well.
Deals on GMC’s Most Powerful Electric Trucks
GMC is the proving ground for electric cars: The Hummer EV can crab-walk and its launch control feature makes it one of the fastest cars on the road, period. The Sierra EV harnesses all that power in a true work truck. Now, both can be had for 0% financing.
Hyundai Santa Fe for 0% Interest? Sign Me Up
This is pretty stunning: the most popular SUV on the road right now, the Hyundai Santa Fe is available with 0% financing for this year’s Black Friday car deals. But that’s not all. Hyundai is offering 0% on the Elantra, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Sonata and Tucson. Most of those models also have a cash back option as an alternate to the finance offer.
Lincoln’s 3 Row SUVs are On Sale
This is a stunning deal for anyone in the market for a luxury 3-row SUV: the Lincoln Aviator and Lincoln Navigator are offered with 0% interest for 60 months on outgoing 2024 models. While the Aviator was updated for 2025 and the Navigator will get a full makeover next year, the 2024 models are stellar cars with great features and technology.
Jeep’s Black Friday Car Deals are Stunning
Jeep is offering up to $8,000 cash on some of its models, including the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. Other trims are offered with up to $3,500 back, and the Jeep Compass is offered with $3,000 cash. Many Jeep models also qualify for 0% financing.
There are Deals on Kia’s Most Popular Models
It’s not just the electrics—Kia EV6, Kia EV9, Kia Niro EV— that are on sale, its also the uber popular Sportage and Sorento. The Kia Sorento just underwent a nice makeover and has 3 rows of seating; the 5-passenger Sportage is one of our faves for its modern look and feel.
But the Kia EV9 on sale? Kia is offering up to $8,250 cash or 0% financing for 72 months on its best-selling EV. That’s unheard of.
Nissan Offers Deals On Its Best Models
Yes, you can get $7,500 cash back on the Ariya—which we think could be Nissan’s most beautiful car—and Leaf EVs, essentially, the federal tax incentive, which doesn’t apply to these cars unless they’re leased. But you can also get 0% financing on the Nissan Rogue and on the Nissan Titan, which also has a $3,000 cash back offer.
2025 Ram 1500 Pickup Black Friday Car Deals
Ram rolled out a redesigned Ram 1500 pickup truck this year and now, it’s discounted by $7,250. That’s quite a deal for the new engine, new interior and updated multimedia system, all standard details on all models.
Toyota NEVER Goes on Sale—Except For Black Friday Car Deals
Seeing Toyota on sale makes us really happy—this brand rarely has deals. However, there are only two: The all-electric bZ4x, which we like for a run-around due to its small size and low electric range of about 225 miles; and the Toyota Tundra pickup truck, which is offered with $3,000 cash back. It’s not the whole Toyota fam, but if you have your eye on either of these, now’s the time to move.
VW Tiguan On Sale? Yup!
We’ve been big fans of the VW Tiguan since it was redesigned in 2018 for its great tech, roomy interior and all wheel drive option that makes it great for cold weather. VW gave it a sharp design, a lovely interior and a nice palette of color options. Now, the 2024 model is offered with 0% financing for 60 months.
Now, let’s go shopping!
