Maybe because of the recall?

The last time I was in for service Niello Volvo in Sacramento had exactly NO new Volvos in stock. They had a 2018 4Runner and some other used car on the showroom floor.

Try getting a 4WD V8 truck.

Ford has none. Raptors all V6 now.

Tundras all V6.

I got one from Chevy because the guy who ordered it, months ago, literally died and I was in the right place at the right time.

We bought a new car about ten seconds before all this car supply craziness. It was only the second time in my entire life where I got a financial decision really right. The first was a year earlier when we refinanced the house during dirt cheap interest rates.

Better late than never, I suppose.

Don’t need one. I have a Corolla and a K2500. But thanks anyhow.

My 2012 Prius has about 160k miles on it, it’s only used to get me to the office, a supplier, or the Mrs to the store. Still gets me 45-52 mpg depending on if it’s winter blend or summer blend gas...I can usually tell pretty close the week they switch it over...if I have to get gas that is.

I’ve been trying to buy a new Civic for 9 months.

Yesterday the dealer called and said we’ve got one in the pipeline, we’ll hold it for you for a $500 deposit.

So I did it. We’ll see I guess.

Our local Toyota dealer was selling RAV4s for $5k over MSRP, Corolla Crosses for $7k over MSRP and Tundras for $10k over MSRP. Anyone foolish enough to pay those prices will be super underwater when things get back to normal.

I bought a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness for MSRP. Even when it was a buyer's market, they weren't that much below MSRP. And since the Wilderness is a new trim, there wouldn't have been much of a discount, if any, during normal times.
