The microchip shortage continues to impact new and used car sales as production interruptions lower the new car and used car supply and dealers are forced to maintain tight inventory levels,

Analyzing over one million new and used cars sold in June 2021, iSeeCars.com found that the average new car took 41.7 days to sell and the average used car took 34.5 days to sell.  New cars sold nearly a week faster than in May, when the average was 47.1 days, and used cars sold slightly faster compared to 34.8 days during the same time period. 

iSeeCars.com determined the new and used cars that were in the highest demand and disappeared the quickest from dealer lots. Here are the fastest-selling new and used cars by state:

Fastest-Selling New Cars by State

What were June’s fastest-selling new cars across the country? Here are the new vehicles in the highest demand by state:

• The fastest-selling new car in the most states with six is the Toyota RAV4.
• The second fastest-selling new car in the most states is a tie between the Kia Telluride and the Subaru Ascent in five states.
• SUVs are the fastest-selling vehicle type in 40 states.
• New Mexico is the only state with a sedan as the fastest seller with the Nissan Sentra.
• Ohio is the only state with a minivan as the fastest seller with the Toyota Sienna

Fastest-Selling Used Cars by State

Here are the fastest-selling used cars by state:

• Sedans are the most represented vehicle type as the fastest-selling used car type in 21 states.
• The fastest-selling used car across all states is the Subaru Forester in Alaska at 6.7 days.

What does this mean for car shoppers? Buyers who are making a new or used car purchase might 

have difficulty finding these in-demand vehicles, and may end up paying a premium for them in the used car marketplace amid microchip-related inventory constraints. Vehicle inventory is expected to remain constrained for the remainder of 2021, so consumers who are in the market for one of these fast sellers should act quickly when they see their desired car for sale.
