That\u2019s a long time between purchase and receiving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, until the supply chain situation improves, this scenario is unlikely to improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there\u2019s one good thing. With most retailers offering digital sales, those who want their car NOW no longer have to visit car dealerships full of sleazy salespeople.
