Inventory is high for these five car brands, with thousands of 2024 (and even some 2023) models on sale with 2025 fast approaching. If you’re holding out for an unbeatable deal, November’s car sales could be your best chance to save. Let’s take a look at the car and truck brands that will have the best offers as year-end car sales approach.

Note: Manufacturer incentives for November will be announced this week. Check back for updates! Now, back to the clues that today’s car market can give us…

Lincoln

Lincoln, Ford Motor Company’s luxury brand, is struggling with a surplus of 2024 models. As of late October, two-thirds of all Lincoln inventory consists of 2024 models, and sales remain slow. With 186 days of supply, more than double the industry average, Lincoln is under pressure to clear out inventory before 2025 models hit the lot. There’s even more urgency for the 900 remaining 2023 models on sale. 

Both the Navigator and Corsair have over 200 days of inventory, and Lincoln’s already experimenting with wild offers like 84-month financing (that we can’t recommend). Expect even better deals in November, likely with additional cash discounts or more appealing loan terms to move inventory faster.

Ram

Ram is facing a similar challenge, with 179 days of new truck supply as of October. Despite some improvement compared to last month, Ram still has about 130,000 new trucks on dealer lots. Currently, Ram is offering 0.9% APR for 72 months on the Ram 1500 and the Ram 1500 Classic, along with $6,500 in cash savings. As we approach November, these deals will only get better. If you’re looking for a truck, year-end sales season could be the perfect time to buy a Ram at a great price.

Ford

Ford’s new car inventory has been growing, with 152 days of supply heading into November. Popular models like the Ford Escape have the highest inventory levels, making them particularly negotiable. While Ford’s current deals, such as 1.9% APR financing for the Explorer and Mustang Mach-E, are underwhelming, we anticipate stronger offers in November. Expect 0% APR financing and larger cash incentives as Ford ramps up Black Friday and year-end promotions.

Jeep

Although Jeep has made progress selling off inventory in recent months, the brand still has 144 days of supply going into November. The Grand Wagoneer, Jeep’s most expensive model ever, is the slowest seller today. Currently, Jeep is offering 0% APR for 36 months on most models, and we anticipate these offers will improve come November, with longer financing terms and possibly bigger rebates. If you’re in the market for an SUV, Jeep’s November deals are worth keeping an eye on.

Nissan

Nissan is grappling with declining sales and market share in the U.S., and its inventory levels reflect the struggles. Over half of all Nissan inventory consists of 2024 models, with 143 days of supply as of late October. There are still about 2,000 2023 models lingering on dealer lots. With nearly 100,000 2024s to sell before the new year, Nissan will be offering generous manufacturer incentives in November and December. Be prepared for excellent low-APR deals and enticing lease offers as Nissan works to clear its lots.
