Loooow Inventory

Well, I guess it's like the rv's right now. Ok to sell, but not to buy.

Heck, DH and I were just talking about renting a vehicle and driving to Michigan! Kinda like trout fishing... hang out and see what floats by!

It's pretty sporadic here.

Can't recall the last time I bought off lot. Have been ordering vehicles for years. If I get a salesman that says "I found a car/truck in**** close to what you want. " i walk. If I spend 40 to 50 grand on a automobile I get what I want not something they want to sell.

A lot of dealers lots around here look like empty parking lots.

Right. Things were shut down completely for three months, then retooled to produce ventilators (Whatever happened to those ventilators by the way? The news was, "Help is on the way! Lookit our heroes making ventilators!" Then, nothing.). When they could start back in on making vehicles they had to switch production back, tool up for new models, etc.. On top of that all the suppliers were shut down for three months, and their suppliers were shut down for three months, and their suppliers were shut down for three months... right on down the supply chain.

Things might be getting back to normal by this time next year. Just need to be patient.

It is that way all over the US. If dealers have inventory, they are not trying to sell them. I am glad I got mine built in December.

It's like that here in Western Washington as well.

A possible explanation.

When I got my F-150 in October the dealer had 2 F-250s and they said when they were gone they wouldn’t be getting any until after the 1st of the year. They were also getting sticker for them.

My Glendale, California Chevy dealer has 15 1500s of which one is 4 wheel drive. Nine of those are base models at 34k asking price. Usually have 30 in total. And six Colorados.
