How many people really get a shiny new car with a big giant bow for Christmas?

Who are these lucky people getting new cars with big red bows on top this year?

December is a big month dealerships – and yes – they sell some of those cars as gifts. Industry experts estimate about 10% of December sales wind up parked under someone’s tree. More men buy cars as gifts than women do – and mom’s and wives are the most auto-gifted.

If you’re tempted, the end of the month is a really good time to buy a new car as dealerships try to put up big numbers before the calendar year changes. It's worth haggling for the bow - they run anywhere from $50 to $300.
