In the market for a new car? Well, your timing couldn’t be better, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are two of the best days to purchase a new car at a great price. “December is the best month to buy a car this year and there are almost 60 vehicles with expected discounts over 15% off MSRP in December,” says analyst Jesse Toprak of TrueCar.com.

Hybrid cars such as the 2009 Saturn Aura Hybrid, 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid, and the 2009 Saturn VUE Hybrid are all expected to sell 17% or more off the sticker price. Family cars like the 2009 Nissan Quest, 2009 Ford Explorer, 2009 Cadillac Escalade, and 2009 Lincoln Navigator L are expected to sell more than 15% off sticker. If you’re into big cars, the 2009 HUMMER H3 is expected to sell at 28% off MSRP.
