Whether or not you’ve been shopping for a new car, you have to know by now that there’s a vehicle shortage taking place not only in the U.S. but across the world. A perfect storm was brewed up with the mix of COVID, microchip shortages, and higher-than-anticipated demand for new vehicles. But what does the vehicle shortage mean for you as a shopper? Toyota of Clermont is here to explain.
The first thing you have to understand is why the vehicle shortage is happening in the first place. It boils down to two things: microchips and COVID.
Combining these two elements led to a vehicle shortage that spanned – and is still spanning – the globe. But what does it mean for you as a car shopper, and what does it mean for Toyota of Clermont?
Yes, we are in a vehicle shortage at Toyota of Clermont. If you drive by our store, you won’t see as many vehicles on the lot as you usually do. However, the good news is that we have trucks full of new Toyotas arriving every single day and we’re also getting used cars via trade ins daily.
You can see all of our new Toyotas and used cars online, but not only that – we’ve added a tool that allows you to see all of our incoming inventory as well. You can see what’s coming to our store and if you see the car you want, you can pre-order it and simply pick it up when it gets here.
On top of that, if you’re having a hard time finding what you want, just come into Toyota of Clermont and sit with one of our specialists. Despite the vehicle shortage, they can help you find and pre-order the new Toyota you’ve been looking for.
Not to mention, now is the best time to trade in your old car – there’s also a used vehicle shortage, so you’re bound to get the best possible cash offer for your trade. We’ll appraise your car for free at Toyota of Clermont and make you a cash offer on the spot, even if you don’t buy your next car from us!
