When Will the Car Shortage End?

As of spring, 2023, Cars.com reports that new vehicle deliveries were up by 31 percent in November, 2022 compared to six months earlier, and up 41 percent from a year prior. They also report that cars are staying on dealership lots longer—from 39 days in November, 2021 to 44 days a year later. That said, new car prices have continued to rise, but should start dropping by the end of 2023. So, the end is in sight.

Cars Not Affected by Chip Shortage

Some of the car shortages are dependent on regional factors. For example, trucks are bigger sellers in landlocked states, so trucks might be more plentiful in coastal areas. That said, over the past years there have been seven makes and models that have been particularly plentiful: 

  • Hyundai Sonata
  • Jeep Compass
  • Nissan Titan
  • Nissan Altima
  • RAM 1500 Classic
  • Nissan Sentra
  • Volvo XC60
  • Ford Expedition
