Shortage of new cars caused by storage of computer clips
I know that there is shortage of new cars caused by storage of computer clips but I see new cars on large car carriers at car dealers. What if the lease is up on a car and someone wants to trade it in for a car that's affected by the shortage of computer chips?

Re: Shortage of new cars caused by storage of computer clips
Here's what I have garnered --
global auto production cut back due to covid. Chip manufacturers cut back production. Video game demand skyrocketed. Auto industry started ramping up production after covid peak....but....6-9 month lag time in chip production means that we're in the middle of the crunch right now. In your shoes I'd extend the lease a year.

jeff, extend lease; if you can.. they might want the car back to sell..
i just had a friend fly to PA from parker, colorado, and drive back, as the same truck here, they wanted $10K OVER msrp! i'd say start looking for an OBD1 car (their prices won't be affected), but because of all the 'cash4clunker' campaigns; good luck finding those.. like alee for fred said look to hold onto current lease; or make offer for your car.. |
