How to surprise someone with the gift of a new vehicle this holiday season.
You’ve probably seen commercials with shiny new cars sporting big red bows during November and December. Giving the gift of a new car doesn’t just happen in the movies or on tv. People surprise their loved one’s with new cars in real life, too. The holiday season is one of the most popular times of the year for gifting a car. Here are a few things to consider:
- There’s a bit more to buying a new car than writing a check and signing on the dotted line. Finding the right car is an art. Does the car offer what the person receiving the gift wants and needs in a vehicle?
- Financing can spoil the surprise, but it doesn’t have to. If you and your intended recipient will both be listed on the loan, you can start the process and work with the dealership to finalize the paperwork after the big reveal.
- Whose name is going on the title? If the car is truly a gift, then you will want to put the recipients’ name on the paperwork … but if it is truly a gift, they won’t be there to sign it! Again, you can work with the dealership to ensure the surprise is intact and finalize paperwork shortly thereafter.
- Some research shows that buying a car on Christmas Eve will save you money. Other research shows that waiting until the New Year is the best time to snag a new car. Deals come and go. Your focus should be on the vehicle itself—is it the right gift for you to give?
- Plan. Plan. Plan. If you want to surprise someone in your life with a new car on Christmas morning, you’ll want to start the car buying search at least a month in advance. Like anything, cars can get delayed—and especially with supply chain issues occurring because of the COVID-19 pandemic, automobile inventory has taken a massive hit. If you want a vehicle later, you need to be proactive and get a plan in place now.
