    Im looking to get my first car in January as well. Im also hoping that the market will be flooded with cheaper second hand cars then.

    Generally it can be a good time to buy a used car as dealers brace themselves for an influx of trade-ins against new cars. Other factors come into it though, it can depends on what car you are buying and how popular/unpopular it is.

    I think you're better off waiting till the new year rush dies down and the traded in stock is sitting there a while. They'll be more willing to drop a few quid to make the figures.

    Have heard March mentioned as a good time?

    Yeah my dad insisted I wait until January to look for a car. I'm looking at getting a Yaris. None of the dealers I've been to would have 99 or 00 Yaris' in stock though so I'm probably just wasting time!

    buy in late January/February when the car sale booms dies down and you can get a decent deal on any car.
