The Car Business Is Changing

Dealers around here have vehicles stacked up like cordwood.
And people are buying them.
My front line vehicle is now 17yrs old, i bought it new.
Hope I can afford the new vehicle prices when I need to buy again.
Cheers, Harvey
 
Charlotte GMC dealer has 0 Canyon Denalis with gas motors. They have one coming in next week but it is already sold.
Toyota dealer says there are 0 new Tacomas available on the entire east coast.

Interesting,
Maybe it’s a regional thing.
Around here, dealers lots are empty, new car dealers, pot lots, buy here pay here.......

My understanding is that the IC shortage out of Asia is the cause of production delays in car plants. Does that ring true with what you are hearing in the dealership?

My buddy in Louisville KY said the Ford plant was closed for 3-4mo because of the chip shortage. Crazy.

Yes, Ford is building our trucks, parking them on fairgrounds and abandoned highways to ship when the modules can be installed.
The tourism trade, rental cars, are not available for repurchase at auction.
That is how we fill our lots with inventory.

If I said, “Chevrolet” when I was growing up, I would have soap in my mouth.
 
At least I used a smiley face.

Yes fords have electronics, they need the sound system to pipe in the sounds of a V8 Chevy to make them little engines sound better.... :grin:
