GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) If you have a lightly used vehicle sitting in your garage, you might have the golden ticket.
“We usually keep 60-70 cars in our lot, now we’re lucky if we have 30-35 right now,” said Jacob Mclain, Assistant General Manager of Greenville Auto.
Mclain says used cars are leaving the lot within hours of arriving and there is a thinning supply of new vehicles.
The primary reason is because of a global semiconductor chip shortage, which hampers the auto industry’s ability to manufacture new vehicles.
“That chip helps with the electronics of the engine and helps increase the miles per gallon,” said CEO of the Wisconsin Automobile and Truck Dealers Association, Bill Sepic.
