Cars scarce, prices rising due to computer chip shortage
Clip: 7/12/2021 | 3m 45sVideo has Closed Captions
Low inventory of microchips is causing supply issues as demand is at an all time high.
New Jerseyans in the market for a new or used car complain it's almost impossible to find anything on the market lately. And when they do find a likely purchase, it's often over the list price. Used cars cost thousands more than just a year ago. The inventory pipeline is close to empty because the semiconductor computer chips that cars depend on remain in such short supply.
