Both new and used vehicle inventories are very lean right now everywhere due to chip shortages and other component shortages.
This problem started last year and has been getting worse this year, with little sign of anything getting any better.
I was in the market for a late model used truck, but prices were really high, not far from new. However new inventories were low too.
I finally ended up ordering a new Ram, and it actually sounded like it got built ahead of schedule a couple weeks ago and might get delivered soon, if it wasn’t one of the vehicles they are building and then parking in storage until a missing module or two comes in.
I’m wondering if the dealer will try to talk me out of it when it arrives since they could undoubtedly sell it to someone else for more?
