I don't know how it keeps climbing. Automobiles and parts, appliances and


parts are short everywhere. My wife bought a Honda HRV yesterday and the dealer said they normally keep 200-300 new cars on the lot for inventory. They had 2! It is cheaper to buy and finance a new car with 0% financing than buy used cars because of inventory. A car needing brake pads repair had been sitting on the lot for a week due to inability to get the parts. The 2022 HRV she bought was technically a 2021, but due to shortages Honda decided not to change the body style for 2022 and replaced the computer chips with 2022 chips. Honda also couldn't produce 2022 inventory because the chips made for the cars were all bought up or shipping to fill Play Station 5s IIRC! Who knew same chip in a Play Station is also found in autos!
