The days of driving into a new car showroom and driving out with your model of
choice is still a major issue. It varies brand on brand and has become such an
issue that car makers are posting wait times for specific models to make your
choice a lot easier. Unfortunately, many customers are told by dealers of a much
earlier supply time to secure a sale and then find there stuck with a long delay.
Checking availability of a Lexus NX SUV this week for a friend I was surprised the
wait was six months for a petrol model, up to two years for a hybrid variant.
Volkswagen Australia this week also paused orders for some versions of its very
popular Tiguan SUV with availability disruptions for its all-wheel-drive models
meaning demand is expected to significantly exceed supply. Front wheel drive
VW Tiguan’s however remain unaffected.
