22-plate ‘impossible to predict’
28 February 2022
One in two new car buyers would postpone an order if their car doesn’t arrive in time for the latest March ‘22’ registration plate. This makes next month one of the most difficult to forecast, warns consumer publisher Autovia.
March is traditionally the auto industry’s biggest sales month – but some cars ordered now may not be delivered until 2023.
Last week, Isuzu urged pick-up customers to get in touch with their local retailer “as soon as possible” to discuss purchases later in 2022 or 2023, due to the “unprecedented and complex” semiconductor shortage.
Isuzu said D-Max demand is outstripping supply and the company is relying on its retailer network to help customers “remain on the fastest route” to a new vehicle.
