Bargains. Extra bonuses. Bigger savings.
The end of year is full of incentives that make upgrading your car feel a lot more achievable. If you've been waiting for the right moment, this is it.
Many drivers hold off buying a new car because they're unsure about timing. Prices move, stock fluctuates, and deals can feel unpredictable. The good news is that end of year sales usually bring together the best mix of price reductions, finance perks and availability. That combination is hard to beat.
Why End of Year Sales Exist
Dealerships are motivated in December. Stock needs to move before the new calendar year hits, and manufacturers want older plates cleared for incoming models.
That often leads to:
- Bigger discounts
- Extra features included at no charge
- Limited-time finance offers
- Access to cars that would normally sit on long wait lists
The goal for dealerships is simple: reduce stock before the new year ticks over. The benefit for buyers is even better.
Models, Price Drops and Negotiation Power
Toward the end of the year, dealerships often have both current-year and incoming-year models on display. That naturally affects pricing.
A current-year model can sometimes be thousands of dollars cheaper than the exact same car arriving in January, simply because of the compliance plate year.
If you're open to either model year, you gain bargaining power.
Less waiting. More choice. Better pricing.

It Can Reduce Ongoing Costs Too
The savings don't stop with the purchase price. When paired with a novated lease, the benefits continue across the life of the car. Fuel, servicing, insurance and registration are packaged into one pre-tax payment which can help reduce taxable income and smooth out the cost of ownership.
Even better, fully electric vehicles remain eligible for the electric car discount if they meet ATO criteria, meaning no Fringe Benefits Tax is applied. With end of year sales, that opportunity becomes even more valuable.
Why This Matters If You're Considering an EV
The end of the year has become one of the most popular times to switch to electric.
Here's why:
- EV demand rises over summer holidays
- Many importers offer seasonal price cuts
- Dealerships push final stock ahead of new shipments
- The Electric Car Discount makes eligible EVs tax effective through a novated lease.
If you're interested in electric but haven't made the switch yet, end of year promotions may help reduce the upfront price gap.
Less Stress and More Certainty
A new year often comes with new pricing and updated taxes or incentives. Buying during end of year sales means you can secure today's pricing and today's benefits, not next year's unknowns.
You also avoid the rush. January can be one of the busiest months for buyers, and that sometimes means wait lists and fewer deals.
A Good Time To Plan Ahead
If you're considering a new car in the next 6 to 12 months, it's worth making the most of this season.
End of year pricing, tax advantages and broader stock availability create a rare overlap of timing and value.
