Car waiting times in Australia have eased since the supply-chain soap opera, but they’re still a mixed bag worthy of a lucky dip.
Popular hybrids, utes and some EVs can attract waits of several months, while mainstream models in common colours may be available within weeks if you’re flexible.
Big tip: cast a wider net—contact multiple dealers nationwide, consider different colours/option packs, and ask about cancelled orders.
If timing matters more than spec, choose what’s in stock; if you’re picky, prepare for patience and keep your finance/trade‑in locked so you can pounce when the call comes.
