New car delivery experiencing extended delays

Australian families are enduring extended wait times for their new cars. Backlogs caused by Covid and a rush for hi-tech gadgetry are being blamed. Meaning motor manufacturers are having to compete with computer companies for critical parts. The wait time for a new car in Australia is now more than twice as long as it was before the COVID-19 lockdowns. The average wait currently stands at 65 days. For more popular models the wait time could be as long as two years.
