Why Fall Is the Best Time to Buy a Vehicle

Fall Car Buying

Fall isn’t just about crisp air, colorful leaves, and pumpkin spice everything—it’s also one of the best times of year to shop for a new (or new-to-you) vehicle. If you’ve been considering upgrading your ride, here’s why autumn is the perfect season to make it happen:

1. End-of-Year Deals

As the year winds down, dealerships are eager to clear out current inventory to make room for next year’s models. This often means bigger discounts, rebates, and incentives for buyers in the fall months.

2. More Choices on the Lot

Because new models start rolling in, you’ll usually see a wider selection—both the latest models and remaining current-year vehicles that dealers want to move quickly.

3. Perfect Timing for Winter Driving

Upgrading your car in fall means you’ll be ready for the upcoming winter season with a reliable vehicle that can handle icy roads, snow, and colder temperatures.

WE ARE A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (CDFI)

Brewery Credit Union (BCU) offers the same commitment to our members since we chartered in 1934 as Brewery Workers Credit Union. The Brewery Workers Union Local 9 represented the many breweries and malting companies in Milwaukee. They formed the Credit Union for those in the brewing industry to have a safe place to borrow and save. The Brewery Workers Union Local 9 was also the original home of the Brewery Workers Credit Union. The Credit Union moved to Schlitz Brewery for a number of years until building our current home on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. In 1984, the Credit Union changed our name to Brewery Credit Union and currently offers membership to anyone who lives in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, or Washington counties, in addition to members of the Museum of Beer and Brewing. “Once a member always a member,” means should you ever relocate out of the area, your membership can continue.

Our members have access to the many products and services that Brewery Credit Union offers. We pride ourselves on offering new technology to make transacting business easier and faster than ever. The Credit Union’s mission of economically empowering our members and communities means that we will not judge a member for a blemished past. We want to help our members reach their financial goals and dreams. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve financial security and have access to safe, low-cost financial products and services. If you believe our mission will benefit you financially, or your membership will support members seeking to benefit from our mission, we would like you to become a member/owner of our great organization.
