The 2009 model year officially begins Oct. 1

Before dealers can move on to this next year’s models, however, they need to clear their showrooms of last year’s vehicles–and there are plenty of them. This means it’s a buyer’s market. On several slow-selling , it’s easy to bargain down the price.

Forbes’ Ten Easiest Cars To Bargain For Behind the Numbers
The Kelley Blue Book tracks actual sales transactions throughout the industry.
Kelley supplied data on all vehicles that sold below their posted sticker price during the first two weeks of this month.
Although some vehicles had several different models with higher and lower sticker prices (due to equipment and features particular to those models), this used only the model with the biggest price cut.

Luxury cars are a common sight on the list.
* Forbes reports that the best bargain is on the Acura RL luxury sedan is about $6,000 below the sticker price.

* The V-8 powered Audi Q7, which gets an EPA combined 16 mpg, recently selling for $4,750 below sticker which is even less than the dealer paid the automaker
* The Cadillac Escalade, which only gets 14 mpg. is now selling as much as $4,284 below sticker price
* A 2008 Mercedes-Benz E Class, in the fifth spot on the list, sold for $4,284 below the sticker price.
* A 2008 Acura TL sedan sold for $3,527 below the sticker price.
* The Lincoln Town Car sold for about $4,230 below the sticker price.
* The Chrysler Crossfire, sold for $3,278 below invoice price.
* F-150 pickups as much as $3,535 below the posted sticker price

When bargaining for these or any other cars, it’s important to keep in mind that the dealer can sell below the invoice price and still make money, as there are other incentives that automakers give dealers to push them to move slow-selling cars. Cars that sit on the lot for more than 30 days start to cost the dealers money as finance fees and interest kicks in, says Bartlett.

To pay the lowest price for a new car, you should arm themselves with a little information.
The best bargain price is one that is at or below invoice, which is what the dealer paid the manufacturer.

The one downside is that the bargain-basement prices only last as long as the cars do. The longer consumers wait, the less likely they are to get the best possible deal on the expiring year’s model.
