What does the vehicle shortage mean for Toyota shoppers?

Have you been looking for a new or used car lately and coming up short? Unfortunately, the world we live in today is full of all sorts of shortages. Labor shortages, goods shortages, and now vehicle shortages have hit everyone – we’re all being affected, regardless of which make or model you’re looking for. Toyota of Orlando is here to explain why the vehicle shortages are happening and what you can do about it to still find the best possible ride for your day-to-day drive time.

What caused the vehicle shortage?

First, let’s take a quick look at why vehicle shortages are happening in the first place. We’ve discussed the car chip shortages and how those sprang out of COVID; the pandemic also resulted in a gross underestimate of how many cars automakers would actually be able to sell, which led to high demand and low supply. Both of these issues led to a vehicle shortage that spans all makes and models across the globe.

However, we’ve got two pieces of good news for you here at Toyota of Orlando:

1. Your existing vehicle is in high demand, which means you’ll get the best possible offer for it if you decide to trade it in or sell it. People and dealerships alike need used cars for their lots, so the value of your vehicle is sky-high right now.
2. It’s not that difficult to find a new car in spite of the vehicle shortage if you shop at Toyota of Orlando. We’ve got trucks full of new Toyotas arriving every single day, multiple times a day. And even if you can’t find what you want on our lot, you can view all of our in-stock AND in-transit inventory on our website so you can see what’s headed our way. You can even preorder your new Toyota before it arrives so you can guarantee it’s yours when it gets here.

And even better news, if you still can’t find exactly what you want in our in-stock or in-transit inventory, we can HELP you find it and get it to Toyota of Orlando for you to drive home.

So while yes, there is a vehicle shortage and yes, this vehicle shortage might be here for the foreseeable future, there’s still good news and you’ve got our Orlando Toyota dealership in your corner to help you find the perfect new car. Why not see how much your current car is worth? We can make you a cash offer on the spot, even if you decide you don’t want to buy your next car from us.
