My parents are in the market for a new car. Does anyone have any resources on things like:
- Finding wholesale prices/ordering direct
- Incentives
- Tricks for buying before the model year switch?
I think they're pretty stuck on buying new rather than used, so not really a point of discussion. Used car prices are absolutely ridiculous right now, especially in my area. (Safe to say the Midwest had the most "clunkers" to take off the roads.  ) Any help/posts that you have on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

You can definitely save some money if you can land a car that's about to get the new model year inventory soon. You probably have to sniff around to find when this happens as I think it can vary by automaker.
I think the increase in used car pricing is remarkable. I use Kelley Blue Book to estimate our cars values, and our two cars have held a great deal of their value. I think it's proof that they're building a lot better cars these days.
I'll put a plug out there to encourage buying domestic.

Buy near the end of the month. Dealerships make bonuses depending on their sales and numbers for structured periods. They are more likely to give you a better deal on the last day of the month to meet their quota.

At times that tactic could also work against you, as salesman may be under their monthly target. Thus leading to them squeezing as much as they can from you in order to meet their monthly target.

If they have access to USAA try their car buying service to get an idea of price. They prenegotiate some decent deals.
