What does this mean for consumers?
New-car buyers will likely struggle to find available inventory and can expect to pay higher-than-average prices for high-demand vehicles. Shortages of new cars are expected to persist due to the backlog of demand, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has led to factory closures and increases in commodity prices. Additionally, the lack of new car inventory has led to used car price also increases. The best way to avoid paying more sticker or finding used cars that aren’t too expensive is to widen your search radius and consider similar vehicles that may not be as expensive. .
