Top 12 Cars to Avoid Buying Right Now


Audi Q5Forbes Magazine recently conducted a study to determine which cars are the most difficult to buy right now due to limited supply.

They compiled inventory data from June and July, averaged it out, and called dealerships to ask how long cars typically stay on their lots before being sold.

Suprisingly, the hardest vehicle to buy right now is an Audi Q5. Audi only has about a 2 weeks supply of the Q5 at current sales figures and the typical dealer sells a Q5 only 4 days after it hits the showroom.

The following list is made up of vehicles you should avoid buying right now. You won't get a good deal since supply and demand is not on your side. Our advice is to wait several months until supply catches up with demand.
