Best week to buy a car: last week of month. Sales people are on quotas for their sales and profit. They will probably have their profit quota but not their sales quota. So that means for you they will probably drop their commission to make the sale.
Best day: slowest is mid week. Another great thing is rainy or nasty weather. You don't want to be out and neither does anyone else but you can get great deals.
Best time: near closing but not too close if you are going to have to go through financing and all that. You want to be done before they close.

I bought my car gently used (hey, it was new to me!), but check out when I bought: Walked on the at 8:30 at night on Wednesday 9/27. Seasonal clearance, last week of the month, mid-week, and right before closing with financing already arranged. Wish I'd seen this article ahead of time, I wouldn't have felt quite so bad going in so late!
