Not long after American Thanksgiving comes Black Friday and Cyber Monday, one of the biggest shopping bonanzas of the year. Indeed, this discount-frenzied weekend has gotten so big it’s travelled north of the border into Canada!

But Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals aren’t just about televisions, computers, and other gadgets. There are also incredible Cyber Monday and Black Friday car deals for you to pick through if you’re in the market for a new vehicle.

Below, we explore the different kinds of Cyber Monday and Black Friday car deals out there and outline what to expect. At the end, we share our own Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers to help you get the car you want at an amazing price.

Will There Be Cyber Monday and Black Friday Car Deals?

At the end of November, car manufacturers and new car dealerships tend to push their inventory pretty hard. This typically leads to great deals, discounts, and special offers on new vehicles. 

COVID-19, however, threw a wrench into all that by suffocating the semiconductor industry, resulting in a shortage of the computer chips needed to manufacture new cars, pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs. And while the chip shortage has started to correct itself, it’s still a bottleneck in production, resulting in fewer incentives and higher interest rates across the board. 

In short, you can expect Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to still be available — just not as aggressively as in years past.

Some of the more mainstream brands that rely on volume sales will likely have the best Black Friday car deals. These include brands like Toyota, Ford, General Motors (Chevrolet, Buick, GMC), FCA (Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler), Honda, Nissan, and more. At some sales events buyers could see auto financing interest rates as low as 0%, thousands off MSRP, reduced lease payments, cash rebate lease offers, trade-in bonuses, and more.

Slightly more niche brands, such as BMW, Lexus, Cadillac, Infiniti, and Mercedes, generally shy away from aggressive Cyber Monday and Black Friday car deals. However, these brands will sometimes offer special payment deferrals on lease deals and financing deals. They also rely heavily on loyalty bonus cash and other offers for existing lessees and owners, as well as “conquest” bonuses for owners and lessees of competing brands.

Unfortunately, many of these offers are restricted to Canadians with good credit scores, immediately excluding a large percentage of the population.

Are There Cyber Monday and Black Friday Car Deals on Used Vehicles?

Can’t find a great deal on a new vehicle? You might want to look at used cars instead. That’s right! Cyber Monday and Black Friday car deals aren’t just reserved for new cars as many dealerships and online used car retailers are looking to sell their used car inventory during this time of year too.

Best of all, used cars tend to have lower prices and more equity in them, making it easier for people with average or below-average credit scores to get approved for financing.

On top of a higher likelihood of getting financing, buying a used car comes with another major benefit: less depreciation.

As many people know, when you buy a new vehicle, it loses roughly 10% of its value just for driving it off the lot — plus another 10 to 20% in the first year and another 15 to 25% every year after that. This can leave you owing much more than the car is worth — known as being “upside down” — over a period of many years. With a used car, by contrast, previous owners have already absorbed the initial depreciation, shortening the likelihood that you’ll be upside down on the loan.
