Buy used between Halloween and the end of January.
X2 on late fall and winter. We pay cash and don't buy new as I'd rather not take the depreciation hit. It's a buyers' market at that time of year as folks tend to use their cash for the holidays, and typically aren't ready to purchase a rig that they can't use for several months (in the cold north, that is). And on the sellers' side, they frequently have inventory that they are selling on consignment that they received at the end of the season, and are looking to generate some cash flow during their slow season. In our case, we got ridiculous deals on both our first and current fivers by buying in December.
