Cars With The Most & Least Inventory – October 2021

New car inventory levels are currently at all-time lows. Take a drive down your local “automobile row” and you’ll see there aren’t many cars for sale on dealership lots. The ongoing chip shortage has dramatically impacted major automakers — GM recently had their worst quarter since 2009, Stellantis reported a near 20% decline in sales year over year for the third quarter, and Ford didn’t fare much better.

We have compiled the most up-to-date information on manufacturer’s inventory levels. Click below to jump to a particular manufacturer.
