Is Labor Day the last best time to get a great deal on buying a car?

Three-day holiday weekends like Labor Day are a great time to find deals on new cars, according to car shopping experts.

According to an Edmunds.com review of the best times to buy a car, shoppers should target three-day holiday weekends, like the upcoming Labor Day weekend, to find deals on new cars because dealerships typically offer steeper discounts to take advantage of increased foot traffic.

You can also throw that manufacturers typically slash prices on cars from the previous model year around this time to make room for newer vehicles, making it an especially good time to go car shopping.

"It's hard to miss the inflatable eagles, gorillas and wacky waving tube men that dot car lots on three-day weekends, to say nothing of ads that promise 'rock-bottom' prices," the website said.

"Whether it is Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Labor Day, be prepared for a busier-than-normal showroom," the website continued. "Ideally, you want to do your research and test drive before the holiday and close the deal on the weekend. Or better yet, wrap up the deal on the first weekday after the weekend."

Edmunds said car buyers can still find good deals on new cars…
