The automotive calendar is shifting, and it’s creating a perfect window for smart shoppers. As the 2026 models start arriving on our lot, we’re transitioning inventory—which means this is one of the best times of the year to buy a 2025 model from Kerlin Motor Company. If saving money on a brand-new vehicle sounds good, here’s the playbook.
Big Savings on In-Stock 2025 Models
We’re motivated to make room for the incoming 2026 lineup, and that means exceptional offers on remaining 2025 models. Manufacturers are stacking incentives, and we’re adding exclusive Kerlin discounts on top. The result: serious savings and flexible financing options that won’t stick around for long.
Why a 2025 Still Makes Perfect Sense
A 2025 model doesn’t become “old” just because the calendar flips. Automakers today roll out incremental updates rather than total redesigns every year. In many cases, the 2025 and 2026 versions of the same vehicle are nearly identical in safety tech, infotainment, and performance. That means you can get the same features for thousands less.
- Stackable incentives: year-end cash back and low APR financing.
- Kerlin discounts: dealer markdowns to clear space for 2026 arrivals.
- Well-equipped trims: often priced more competitively than new model equivalents.
- Proven performance: 2025s have real-world reliability data already.
What to Look for on a 2025
- Feature packages: Compare trim bundles; a 2025 may include premium options that cost more on 2026.
- Warranty and coverage: New-vehicle warranties apply the same—use the savings for maintenance add-ons if you wish.
- Software parity: Many 2025s share the same infotainment builds and advanced driver assistance updates as early-run 2026s.
- Total cost of ownership: Lower purchase price + similar MPG/resale can beat a later model year over the full lifecycle.
The Model Year Calendar Has Shifted
Five years ago, new models commonly hit lots in summer, well ahead of the calendar year. Now, manufacturers are releasing closer to calendar dates—often late fall or winter. That means 2025 models are still current and relevant even as 2026s begin to arrive. You get more overlap to compare, plan, and time your purchase.
A Smart Move Before the New Year
This is your chance to upgrade before winter, maximize trade-in value, and lock in an incredible deal before market dynamics reset. When you combine strong manufacturer incentives with Kerlin’s end-of-year pricing, the value is undeniable.
