Took my wife’s Hyundai to our local dealership for maintenance & they told me they sell 125-140 per month & typically have 250 on the lot. Said they’re lucky to get a 100 per month to sell.
If I was buying new, I would want a rodent guarantee added for free. Lot of the new cars have been sitting in lots/fields waiting on chips.
Not only that, but the wiring in new vehicles has been made with plastic covering made out of veggie material (soy, I think) for at least a decade. Critters will eat the stuff right up.
