The microchip shortage continues to impact car sales as production interruptions have lowered the supply of new and used cars. The latest iSeeCars monthly analysis examines which cars are in the highest demand in the new and used car marketplace for November and for the year to date.
Analyzing over 280,000 new and used cars sold in November 2021, iSeeCars.com found that overall, the average new car takes 42.8 days to sell and the average used car takes 51.5 days to sell. Both new and used cars are selling slower compared to last month’s averages of 31.7 days and 44.7 days, respectively.
