I agree, except I would change 'the only real' to 'a major' and I would add that the end of the month can be a good time to buy a car re goals and quotas for the month. One of the best end of month periods is the time between Christmas and New Year's Eve because showroom traffic is so slow (abong other reasons).

If you are a 'drive it until the car has depreciated to a Blue Book value of zero or close to it' person like I am, the 'last years model when they are changing model years' that you mention is especially effective. I got a fantastic deal on the car before my Yaris by taking advantage of that . Another time I got a fantastic deal on a new car buying a few days after Christmas.
