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.
Rank | Vehicle | Days Supply |
1 | Audi Q5 | 16.8 |
2 | Chevrolet Camaro | 18.5 |
3 | Toyota Prius | 18.5 |
4 | Toyota Matrix | 20.9 |
5 | Nissan Murano | 24 |
6 | Lexus RX 350/RX Hybrid | 25 |
7 | Toyota FJ Cruiser | 26.6 |
8 | Infiniti QX56 | 26.6 |
9 | Toyota RAV4 | 28.5 |
10 | Ford Escape | 29.4 |
11 | Audi S5 | 30.4 |
12 | MINI Cooper | 30.4 |
