I saw an article recently that said something like Ford have lost in the region of 200,000 cars and trucks in the US due to the semi-conductor shortages. It's going to be an issue till at least the start of the 4th quarter. Things should start to improve from there as more semi-conductor supplies come on line. It is what it is. Nearly all other manufacturers across the globe are dealing with the same problem. Many have been having plant shutdowns due to it. That's why waiting lists for some vehicles have blown out past 6 months. Some are getting to the 9-12 month wait times. |

Its not just cars, anything that needs a computer chip is being held up.
and we all know what's been happening with the 2nd hand market. If you have 3 year old a low km car you might soon be able to sell it for the price you paid for it, if not a profit. I heard car dealers have been calling on private sellers so they can stock their floors

I saw a YouTube video the other day where ford rented out a speedway track and filled it with f tricks that were built without the chips, basically stock piling them for when the backlog is cleared.

The Rise of Technology is making us more stupid every day. Nothing can be done without a computer in some way or form this day in age.

That came true. For about 3-6 months. Then all of the sudden, people started buying cars again, in similar numbers they were buying before. Now the semi-conductors they needed to go into vehicle production, were being used in home electronics. Panic stations. Going to take the rest of the year before the problem starts becoming less of an issue. The US government is also pumping a heap of money into securing semi-conductor production away from china, and onto US soil. So this doesn't happen again. |

It’s true. A mate selling his 4 year old Top of the range DMax had his car as up for half an hour before being called by a dealer who paid his asking price for it the next day because he was desperate for stock in his yard… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. I know a chap who was selling his d-max. The day he listed it the dealer he brought it off rang him and made him an offer of $3000 less than he paid for it 3 years earlier, brand new. Just madness. He took the offer and bought a new Ranger. |

https://www.caradvice.com.au/960902/...istics-delays/
Volkswagen customers in Australia are likely to experience delivery delays of key models – such as the new Golf hatch, updated Tiguan mid-size SUV, and large Touareg family SUV – caused by the global semiconductor shortage. Other popular brands such as Hyundai, Kia and Nissan have recently notified dealers of severe stock shortages in the coming months, while market leader Toyota claims it is largely unaffected other than delays caused by a surge in demand. |
