Car dealers report low inventory on popular models as UAW strike continues into 5th week.
are starting to be felt, with car dealers reporting low inventory on popular models, and repair shops scrambling to find parts for GM vehicles.
But, each day the strike continues, “It means the choice of specific models and trim levels will get depleted,” said Jeff Schuster, president of Global Vehicle Forecasts at LMC Automotive. GM’s most popular product lines may already be close to being depleted, he added. The good news is that most American car buyers tend to settle for what they can find on a dealer lot, and may go for a different color, trim level or option package, said Jackson. But anyone with a particular request from the factory could be in for a long wait, he said. Even after the strike ends, industry observers warn that it will take some time to get to those back orders.
