The Best Black Friday Car Deals for 2020

Anyone in the market for a new TV or computer knows to wait for Black Friday, but automakers are desperate to get back into the black before the year’s end, too, and the day after Thanksgiving is a great time to buy a new car, truck or SUV.

All the big automakers run Black Friday deals, but they’re not always exclusive to Black Friday. For many, the Friday after Thanksgiving is just part of a larger sales event that covers the entire traditional car-buying season that runs from November through early January. Fall and winter, after all, is the best time to buy a car. This is a roundup of some of the very best deals to be had.

Keep in mind that most offers describe the best possible deals that are available only to buyers with pristine credit. Many automakers and dealers, however, have a tiered system that offers lesser deals to less-qualified buyers. Most also have lease deals available, too. Also keep in mind that many automakers offer region-specific holiday deals that vary from place to place.

The Chrysler Black Friday Sales Event follows a different format than the rest, but the savings are no less enticing. Chrysler is currently offering the highly rated and best-selling Pacifica minivan at the company’s employee price. That’s $5,133 off the original MSRP, but the “family” pricing MSRP starts at $31,609 instead of $34,045. The Pacifica Family Pricing program also comes with 0% APR financing for 60 months — in addition to the cash deal.
