RAF News Motoring – 2021 Quarter 4 Offers
As we all now try to find some sort of ‘normal life’ after COVID, the knock-on effects of the pandemic on the car industry have been huge. With computer chip, paint pigment, and general parts shortages, the supply of new cars has been massively hit hard.
While used car prices have soared in value because of delays in new cars, new cars are in massively short supply. Some cars that would normally take 6 weeks to build and deliver are taking up to 6 months to arrive. The best advice we can give is order your new car now, and not just before you really want it.
Long term planning is therefore the key when it comes to buying your next new car. Work out what you want now, and get your order in. It may be a longer wait than normal, but we really don’t think the current situation will change until the middle of next year, when some normality should return.
Electric & Hybrid Cars
With an ever advancing increase in battery and hybrid technology, the electric and hybrid cars are now starting to become a regular sight on our roads, and more common on people’s driveways. As the raft of new models hits us from all sides in 2021, our discounted selection for has now doubled.
