As the year winds to a close, it's a time filled with families and friends, celebrations ... and car shopping. While it may seem crazy to add car shopping to this busy time of year, a Cars.com survey found that nearly 12 percent of survey respondents plan to buy a car before 2018 wraps up. While year's end is always a good time to car shop, it's a particularly wise move in 2018. Buying now means you're getting that shiny new car for a lower price than you would if you wait until the new year. Car prices are the great motivators for end-of-year shoppers, with 81 percent of survey respondents saying they're most concerned about getting a good deal.
