I find that buying at the end of the day or end of the month is a myth. The best time to buy is when the new model year comes out. Say a 2012 GTI just came out, the 2011s are likely to get higher discounts even if the car is unchanged. One of the other best times is when they get they're new deals. VW had a 0.9 APR for 60months to finish off the 2011 year. BMW gives you a $1000 towards a new car if you test drive their new cars. Those are pretty good deals to me. In the end though, it's about doing your research, supply and demand of the car and willingness to stand your ground and walk away if you do not get a deal you deem fair.
