The microchip shortage continues to impact new and used car sales as major automakers are forced to halt production, leading to lower inventory levels especially for the most in-demand vehicles. Despite reduced inventory and heightened demand for both new and used cars overall, some vehicles defy this trend and languish on dealer lots. These slow-selling cars can bring savings opportunities for car buyers, even in today’s challenging car market.
Analyzing nearly one million new and used cars sold in August 2021 to determine the fastest-selling new and used cars, iSeeCars.com found that overall, the average new car takes 26 days to sell and the average used car takes 34.6 days to sell.

TOP DOG! The slowest-selling car across all states is the Volvo XC60 in Washington, which takes 308 days to sell.

Take a look at the list and tell us if there are any surprises?
