You can tell it is getting close to spring when people go New Car Shopping. So with warmer days, hopes bloom for a new car in the driveway.
Here at Farmhouse Magic Blog we have two vehicles over ten years old, so it was time to see what was available and possibly update one car.
Driving by New Car Dealers
We drove to a nearby auto circle which has several car dealerships.
The circle area has dealerships for Kia, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Toyota, Infinity, Mazda, Ford, Jaguar and Hyundai vehicles.
I thought it would be fun to see the new car designs, powerful engines, and innovative options.
We happen to notice only one other couple with two children shopping for cars.
A group of about five salesmen were chatting near the front door of one dealership.
Not too many years ago, all these dealers were loaded with new cars parked on every available spot. So what did we see today?
There were a handful of new cars on some lots and many used cars about. However, most noticable were the empty parking spots where the new cars should be.
Ending Comments on New Car Shopping
So we actually only got out the car once as we drove past dealer after dealer. The new cars are not there yet so there was no need to go new car shopping.
I went home and googled a few autos on the internet to see what they looked like.
So my spring dream car will just have to wait a little longer.
New Car Shopping Update: 9-10-2022
We once again drove by the same car dealerships in our area. However, this time we saw many used cars on the lots but still only a few new cars. We also saw a sign that said, “We will buy any car”.
When driving out of town we drove by a truck dealership and saw many new trucks on that lot.
I’m glad I’m seeing new trucks, but I’m really not in the market for one right now.
So, for now, still waiting for the elusive new cars for 2022.
