Looks like the chip shortage will be over soon. May be worth it to wait for the influx of new trucks before paying the high dollar markup the dealers were charging.

That should bring down used truck prices.

Great, hopefully other manufacturers will follow soon. The price of trucks/cars, new and used is absolutely obscene.

maybe......

Not as long as people are willing to pay the price, and they seem to be. I doubt they will come down much, if they do, it will only be a temporary dip.

Car dealerships aren't the ODT. People aren't going to pay more for used than new.

If the new is available, that is.

My son works in the automobile manufacturing industry and he indicated that chips are becoming available. The next challenge will be how fast the distribution networks can ship the cars and trucks to the dealerships.

But the continued acceptance of paying 10-15k "market adjustment" for new will just be rolled back into the msrp

You're probably right.

Just wait till China moves on Taiwan. 90+ percent of our chips are sourced from Taiwan.

This may be very short lived. If you want a truck, buy now.
