A Trying Time for Car Buyers
A chip shortage in the auto industry wasn't on anyone's bucket list this year, but it's happening across the nation. Due to the shortage of semiconductor microchips, many people are noticing a car shortage at their local dealerships. Take heart, though, as your friends at Vicksburg CDJR continue to maintain good relationships with our many auto manufacturers and work tirelessly to keep our new and used inventory stocked. Modern automobiles made in the last 25 years rely heavily on microchips to function. The COVID-19 pandemic was a rude awakening to people across multiple industries.Â
    There are only so many chips in the world, and only so many products that are going to be able to use them. After the pandemic's damage was done, chips became scarce. To combat this, they had to be fairly distributed to many different industries, not just the auto industry. This might make your local inventory look a little thinner these days, but the great news is that the professionals at our dealership are aware of the car shortage and have strong networking and connections to ensure that your favorite vehicles reach our lot.
