Adjusting to a New Normal for the Car Industry
from February 2022
Adjusting to a
for the Car Industry
As the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus once said, “The only constant is change.” This phrase has never been more true than in the past couple of years in the car industry.
Due to the global pandemic, the car industry had to weather microchip shortages and supply-chain issues, causing fewer and fewer new vehicles to be delivered to the lots of dealers nationwide. So what did local dealerships like Vern Eide Motorcars do? They adapted, they adjusted, they forged ahead.
The “new normal” for car dealerships, including Vern Eide, is fewer new vehicles on their lots while having more customers pre-order vehicles. Instead of rows and rows of vehicles with many trims and colors to choose from, customers will be able to experience a make and model, work with the dealership to find what they want from yet to be delivered inventory, put down a deposit, and then be notified when the vehicle arrives.
There are a few benefits to pre-ordering your
vehicle. The first benefit is that you are able to select some of the features and the trim level you’d like so that you are paying for what you want and not just settling for what’s in stock. The second benefit is the new vehicle you are getting will have as few miles as possible - meaning no other potential customers will be taking your vehicle out on a test drive before you drive it home. Finally, you are more likely to get a specific color you desire, rather than being limited to what’s on the lot.
Even though there might be fewer vehicles on Vern Eide lots, there are still a wide variety of new models and trim levels to test drive to figure out what you like. Plus, Vern Eide’s knowledgeable and friendly staff can answer any question you may have so you know you are going to put your deposit down on a vehicle you are going to love.
