Though buying a car as a holiday gift may seem a bit absurd to some (especially the idea of putting a giant red bow on it), a study from Woburn-based  iSeeCars released earlier this year found that consumers were more likely to find used car deals on Black Friday than any other holiday. Now, the company has released a new study showing the top 10 used cars to buy on Black Friday.

The used car research company analyzed more than 40 million used car sales from 2013-2015, and found that used car dealerships offer 100 percent more deals (or at least twice the usual number of cars with discounts) on some of the most popular models in the nation on Black Friday. For example, the top model on the list, the Hyundai Elantra, has had 230.6 percent more deals on Black Friday than on an average day. The Ford F-150, the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., has 156.3 percent more deals.

“It’s always nice to save money, especially when you’re buying a high-ticket item like a car,” said Phong Ly, iSeeCars.com CEO. “The average used car costs $19,040, so even just a five percent discount on that means $952 for consumers to spend on something else.”

Ford F-150 (156.3%)

The Ford F-150 is a great choice for hardcore skiers and snowboarders. All-new for 2015, the F-150 boasts Extended and Crew cab models with 6.5-foot beds, meaning you can fit all your skis, snowboards and other gear in the bed and have plenty of room in the front for friends. Not only that, the F-150 can also get you to some of the most remote ski locations thanks to its impressive off-road abilities (it actually finished the Baja 1000 disguised as a 2014 F-150). If you want to combine hardcore skiing with hardcore off-roading, take a look at the F-150 SVT Raptor (available as a 2014, but not as a 2015); the truck’s 6.2 liters of pure brilliance will get you to places only the bravest of the brave would dare ski or drive.

Overall score: 8.2Look and feel: 9Performance: 7Form and function: 9Technology: 10Safety: 9Cost-effectiveness: 5“Redesigned for 2014, the all-new GMC Sierra 1500 represents a massive improvement upon its predecessor. It is more powerful and fuel-efficient, more comfortable and technologically sophisticated, able to tow and haul more weight and is safer than the truck it replaces. If this baked-in goodness ultimately translates to improved cost of ownership factors, the 2014 Sierra is the truck to beat. For now.’’ - Chris WardlawRead the full 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 reveiw at CarGurus.com
