Yeah...but are people willing to pay MORE for an older car ->

in order not to wait?...Guess so....I'm starting to see why, especially if I see another delay from the end of this month.

When I ordered mine, they were just starting to talk about "chip shortages" and the impact on cars (it didn't resonate with me yet). I am sure that is why mine was pushed back from April to the end of July.

Of course, my salesman told me it was because of all the custom in the order. He told me wheels were the holdup, until i offered to look at other wheels..THEN it was something else..I think you are right.it is CHIPS! Hearing the the TRUTH would have been a nice surprise
