(December 24, 2014) SANTA MONICA, Calif. — It's no secret that the final week of every month is a busy time for car shopping, but it's especially so in December, according to Edmunds.com. Edmunds predicts the week between Christmas and New Year's will be the busiest car shopping time of the year, and that leasing will hit an all-time high.
Tagging the week "New Car, New Year," Edmunds projects that new car sales will be 78 percent higher than the average week earlier in December, while typically the last week of any month averages just 40 percent higher than the sales in earlier weeks.
