10 Models Poised to Drop in Price Before Year-End
We identified models with high days' supply, fresh lease markdowns, and upcoming new versions in early 2026.
- Models sitting on lots for a long time (high days' supply)
- Fresh lease markdowns, which often precede purchase deals
- Models facing new versions in early 2026, prompting dealers to clear 2025 stock
- Analysis of VIN data, including aged VINs, prior demo/loaner use, and open recalls
One notable example is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (S 500), with leases dropping sharply this month. The S-Class often receives extra incentives near year-end.
Ask for demo or loaner units and check the build date on the door sticker, as stores tend to add quiet dealer cash on aged 2025s.
Look for early-year build months, and be aware of very high inventory in many regions.
Author's summary: Car prices may drop before year-end for certain models.
