The other auto companies will follow. Hold on to your cars. Keep them in good repair.
You haven’t seen anything yet. Wait till china invades Taiwan. Chip production will halt for a time at least.
I hope to order the suspension kit for my 65 jeep before Labor Day.
Guess this payday, a spare aftermarket ignition module along with some other misc parts get ordered.
“Keep them in good repair.”
If you can get parts. We may have to emulate the mechanics in cuba.
Took a vehicle in for a new battery - vehicle had been jumped so I needed to leave it, left it running outside. I was told that there were no “appointments” for at least a week (’the usual’ was to get it back same day or the next with no appointment) .... when I inquired what was going on, the CS rep said that there were no new vehicles available, people were fixing what they had & business was booming for their mechanics.
Side note, that particular CS rep is an @ss ... the one I usually deal with came by, saw me ... “just leave your truck and I’ll work it in” (while the @ss sat there & smirked at me) ... and he did (I got it back in 2 days). When I had a similar conversation with him, he said they had gotten in a few new trucks, but the lot was full with used cars, not new. Fortunately, all our vehicles are in good shape & should still last a long time. The bad ... lots of electronics (except for our 21 yo PU we use for ‘dirty’ work like going to the dump) so if there’s an electronic issue & can’t get it fixed, we might be screwed there.
My 2003 Buick just passed inspection. It’s got a few more years...only 74,000 miles.
