Drivers from Staten Island, Elizabeth, and the rest of the New York City metro shouldn't have their future driving plans impacted by the ongoing microchip shortage. With production being slowed, low inventory levels are seen at several Ford dealerships around Staten Island. Dana Ford wants to help Roselle shoppers steer clear of the inventory crisis with these chip shortage shopping tips.
Why Are These Chips So Important?
New Ford trucks and SUVs need several microchips to control vehicle functions, ranging from engine functions and fuel management to infotainment and stability control. Semiconductor chip production is beginning to increase again, as reflected by more consistency in the chip supply through the first two quarters of 2022. Still, the production of new Ford vehicles is not back at full speed. Here are some recommendations for Roselle shoppers.
What Are My Options So I Still Get the Keys to My Dream Vehicle?
- Shop New & Used!: Search for both new and used vehicles as you keep your options open.
- Lease Instead of Buy: Lease a new Ford while you wait. Your dream Ford may be in-transit to our Staten Island Ford dealership. Linden drivers can get by in the coming months by leasing a new Ford in Staten Island.
- Choose Options with Less Demand: Shop for a different model or body style that has less demand. Particular models or some SUVs and trucks may be in too high of demand to guarantee a purchase.
- Trade In to Dana Ford: Offset the cost of your next vehicle and give other Staten Island shoppers more options by valuing your trade at Dana Ford.
- Custom Order: Custom order a new Ford truck or SUV online through your local Staten Island Ford dealer. It's easier for Elizabeth shoppers to build their dream Ford rather than wait for the exact model configuration to show up on our Staten Island lot. Reserve your new Ford today!
