Wow! Was I in for a shock!!! I went to a really big dealer I had previously done business with. The first shock was that the normally packed to the gills lot was nearly empty. The next shock was that the very few cars there were used. This is not a used car dealer! Pretty much the only way to get a new car is that they search online for your car and order it if there is one out there of what you are looking for because the overall inventory is so low! They also said hardly no one is bringing in trade-ins anymore and they are really hurting because of that too. New car dealers everywhere are buying your used cars even without purchasing a car there!

I've noticed this too. makes me wonder what's going on and if I should buy something now, while there are still a few available. i would like a Ford, and have heard that they were having trouble getting parts...
We haven’t decided on anything yet but every day the inventory only gets slimmer so I fear if we don’t move quickly we will be out of luck. Yes, I originally thought it was only a Ford Truck issue but it is way more serious than that. This is not talked about in the news at all. Farm equipment is in serious jeopardy also.
Lots of microprocessors supply chain is backed up and affecting production downstream of cars etc.
