Yes, full sticker price.

I have been told that the biggest problem is that the manufacturers cannot get the necessary computer chips for them.

Every new car now manufactured is a computer on wheels. America's enemies know this. A cyber attack would paralyse all computer-dependent cars. Getting one that is not computer dependent is almost impossible--maybe one manufactured before computers. The USA is a sitting duck. This is no accident; it's by design. America's fifth column--whose objective is the destruction of America--are very clever, and millions of Americans are too stupid to comprehend what's going on. The situation could not be more dangerous.

In May & June, I had 2 different persons enter my small ranch & try to buy one or both of MY vehicles.

1979 Buick station wagon

1976 1 ton Chevy dually truck.

I refused to sell either.

Buick cannot haul 4 horse trailer......

Truck gets about 6 mpg sitting in driveway.........

BOTH are LONG ago paid for.

OVER 1 million new cars/trucks are sitting at assembly plants without those chips.

REALLY glad I have my workhorse 1 ton 454 Chevy dually truck...even with over 348,000 miles on the chassis.....

I have a service appointment at the Toyota dealership in two weeks for regularly scheduled maintenance. I'm half tempted to just have them do a brake job if there even remotely close to needing them as long as everything is in stock.

That’s what we’re doing.

Both our vehicles need new batteries and I need snow tires.

Part of the new car crisis may be auto manufacturers hoping to train more US car buyers to order their cars online instead of finding one on a lot and haggling.

Note to new car salespeople: I hope most of you have a Plan B career/job ready to go.

I really think you’re going to need it soon.

Conservatives are made, not born.

That's a good point - kids who grew up to believe it doesn't make any difference who is in office probably had parents who made sure their kids didn't feel any difference.
