What are best and worst times of year to sell?

I was doing a little reading on the best and worst times of the year to sell cars. Found this:

We’ve found consistently the best time of all to sell a car in the USA is March/April. I believe this is because American’s do not have a lot of savings, and tax return time is one of the few times people have a large lump sum of money to spend. Right before Christmas is one of the worst times to sell a car, as people are thinking about spending on other things, are out of town etc… But right after New Years there is usually a peak, perhaps because of end of the year bonuses.

I wonder to what extent this applies to our specialized niche of the market.
