Each month we have been tracking new car inventory levels. Traditionally the end of the year is the best time to buy a car. This is because automakers provide large incentives to their dealers to sell as many cars as possible before the year-end. 2021 is very different.
Current new car inventory levels declined to new lows in December. With a lack of inventory, there will be no incentives or bonus programs for dealers this year. Why would there be? There are not enough cars to sell!
Below we breakdown the inventory levels of all of the major automakers we are able to source data on. You will see which cars have the highest inventory levels right now (an indicator that you may be able to negotiate the price of the car), and those that have the least inventory right now.

While Subaru’s days supply of inventory increased (from 4 units to 5) this month, they still have an incredibly limited number of vehicles on dealer’s lots. Mazda’s day supply decreased considerably from 10 to 7 this month as well.
Based on the total number of available units, here are the cars with the least inventory:
| Inventory Units (December) | Inventory Units (November) | Inventory Units (October) | Inventory Change (November to December) | |
| Clarity | 100 | 100 | 200 | 0 |
| 90 series | 100 | 100 | 100 | 0 |

| Mazda car | 1,200 | 1,500 | 2,300 | -300 |

| 60 series | 1,600 | 1,700 | 1,600 | -100 |
These are the vehicles with the lowest days supply of inventory right now, which means you shouldn’t expect to get a “deal” on any of these cars. The dealership knows they have very limited inventory and they likely won’t be getting new cars from the manufacturer anytime soon. Negotiating on these cars will likely yield frustration.
