Before jacking up the price of a car, maybe the dealer should give up passing out the free doughnuts and coffee, hot dogs and pop corn. Maybe lay off a few salesmen too. They most likely are on commission, and would probably make more on unemployment.
Also, the "how was our service" surveys that include postage.... they could dump them too (at fifty cents postage for each one).
So all the reasons about the supply shortage and backup at ports just don't cut it for me.

Have you been paying attention to the news lately? There are record numbers of ships waiting to be unloaded at California ports. The main problem with insufficient new cars being available is that there aren't enough computer chips for engine/vehicle management on-board computers. No computer, no go.
