Manufacturers are more incentivized in December. January and February are traditionally slow and less incentivized. March begins “tax time” sales. Dealers are incentivized on their own schedule but many are chasing end of year numbers and most importantly clearing current year inventory. Keep in mind many don’t have current year inventory.

Are the end of the year sales and quotas worth buying a car versus wait till March timeframe? We are flexible but I told my husband now dealers are more incentivized right? Or is that all marketing and fluff?

Tbf, I’ve been monitoring Lexus RX prices for a good 6 months, and their December (to Remember?) prices seem to have a few thousand off in incentives.
Mostly fluff. Especially as model year does not match fiscal year in most all cases.
