New Car Inventory in 2023: What You Need to Know About Finding Your Dream Car (Updated Monthly)

January 12, 2022
🚘 Search inventory in your area

After nearly two years of record low inventory, automakers are finally bringing more cars to the U.S. market. New car inventory is rising in 2023. Inventory remains below historical norms, but we’re seeing substantial improvements that should make many models more negotiable as we head into summer.

Car dealers and automakers are evolving their business models to encourage customers to factory order their vehicles. This means less inventory on the ground when a customer comes to the dealership, and more cars built to order from the automaker. How is this (plus myriad other factors) impacting inventory in May 2023? We have that data below.

👉 Bookmark this page. Just like we did last year, each month we’ll update this URL with the latest new car inventory data.

Here are important definitions that will help you understand and interpret the data:

  • Days supply: Number of days needed to sell all vehicles in inventory, based on the previous month’s daily selling rate
  • Inventory: Unit count of vehicles on hand at dealerships, factory lots, ports of entry and in transit on a specific date

Within each of the tables you can click on the vehicle name to see available inventory in your area. All data is sourced from Automotive News.

Let’s dive in!

    Hey, I just thought of something you might want to share. I’m tentatively waiting on a new Lexus that “should” arrive mid February. My credit union has great rates now on auto loans. It dawned on me to call them and see if I go ahead and get approved on the amount I may need to borrow, will that lock in this rate and if so, for how long? I’m worried that rates could go up a little soon. They answered that my approval would be good for 60 days at the stated rate at approval.
    SO….. I’m going to go ahead and apply for the loan now to lock in this current rate while waiting for my car to arrive. This might be worth passing along .

    Do you plan on updating the February numbers? I really enjoyed this info and would love to see you continue to update the numbers monthly if possible?
