After a couple of years of a global pandemic, global chip shortages, and problems with the production lines, the car industry is healing, but it’s not quite there. Ivan Drury from Edmunds stated that competing for new cars will be hard as shortages continue in 2023. The industry hasn’t seen the end of it yet.
An inventory shortage means new vehicles are hard to find and sell above MSRP. This has left many car shoppers turning to the used car market.
