Record-long waiting time for a new car - how long will we wait for the model of our dreams

Spis treści

    Not so fast

    The waiting time for a new model can range from a few months to as long as several dozen months. The reported minimum is around six months, and the average is as long as 18 months. For some models, car dealers are unable to give an approximate waiting time, as neither manufacturers nor suppliers give specific dates. The waiting time is made up of the production process, the provision of car parts, tests, condition inspections. Moreover, registration, leasing and transport must be added. All it takes is for one of these processes to be delayed and this will postpone all the other stages.
     

    Priority, but not passing

    The availability of car models on the market also depends largely on their features, equipment and versions. Those cars that contain only basic equipment or are close to the minimum have faster lead times because they require less work during production. The more complex the extras and features, the longer the waiting time. In addition, priority is given to electric cars, which have been extremely fashionable recently. They are increasingly common on the streets and more and more charging stations are being built in car parks. The reason for this is the promotion of ecology and electromobility. What's more, consumers can benefit from special discounts when opting for an electric or hybrid.


    Threshold deceleration

    Additional features that enhance the car model but reduce the wallet volume slow down the production process, thus increasing the waiting time for the dream car. Amenities such as automatic transmission, parking sensors, navigation or additional touchscreens inhibit the production line. Every extra feature means a longer delivery time for the finished model. It is worth knowing that some models like the Porsche Cayenne do not have base versions, and therefore their waiting times are usually longer than other makes and models. Another reason why customers are forced to wait longer for their dream model is the current pandemic and political situation. Productions have been halted by parts shortages, workers falling ill, but also uncertain sales. Although many production facilities have returned to normal operations, delays caused by unforeseen crises are making their presence felt. Each successive such disaster prolongs the car production process, and not only dealers but also consumers suffer. Our Wadowicka Auto Service provides a quality service that is perfect for any model.
