A new year is on the horizon — at least when it comes to cars. Most manufacturers will be rolling out 2025 models soon if they haven’t already, meaning now can be a great time to score a deal on a 2024 model.
If you’re into imports, seeking out models that aren’t selling too quickly this year can be a great strategy. Of course, you should always conduct your own research to figure out why people aren’t clambering for these models, but it could be a reason that doesn’t rank highly for you.
Dealers want to make space on their lots for new 2025 models, so many will be eager to sell the 2024 models at a discount. Using data from CarEdge, here’s a look at six slow-selling 2024 imports you may want to consider buying.
