>>They also wouldn't have a new vehicle available for 2 months as their cars were sold that far in advance
Is that.....meant to be long? Everywhere I ask, every dealer every brand, every model, if you want a brand new vehicle from factory, the wait time is at least 6 months, usually 12+ months. If you want a brand new Kia EV6, the earliest delivery time is Q1 2024 - the order book is closed for 2023 already.
It's a tiny metro area (entire metro consists of roughly 3 million people) over approximately 6,000 square miles.
The dealerships I spoke with get small monthly deliveries, and only the unpopular trims are available at the 2 month mark.
I suspect being in an area that makes extensive use of salt on the roads in winter might not help, as new cars will depreciate that much faster- perhaps they simply aren't in as much demand as used cars. Used retail prices right now are nearly the same as MSRP if it has less than 50k miles.
Of course, if you want one of the trendy models, wait time is almost certainly much longer.
