Interesting article and true to an extent on availability in this current climate. Being in inventory control for new vehicles a large part of my life I've never experienced what we are going through.

I just wanted to give a few tips on if you are looking for a new vehicle and think all hope is lost. Some models are just not going to happen right now, some however you may be in with a chance.

- always check manufacturers websites instead of carsales etc
- always check dealerships websites

These days actual stock lives more so on these sites and not traditional sites such as carsales, don't believe me, go try it, you'll find stock on a dealers site you won't on carsales.

-get on a waiting list for "fall over" deals

Sometimes, even when everything is confirmed things turn pear shaped for customers, its just life. These cars do appear as available once again for sale!

-get on a waiting list for a demo that may be coming off demo soon.

Eventually demos get old and need replacing, it will just depend on if the dealer is smart enough to have replacements in coming to offload their current fleet.

- ask if any loan cars are coming off loan and being replaced, these sometimes are a good buy with low kms.

This might help someone that is looking for a car
