In Australia, new-vehicle wait times swing wildly by brand, model, and trim—anything from “drive away today” to a calendar full of sad little Xs.
Popular hybrids and some EVs can run longer, while mainstream petrol models and utes are increasingly available off the lot as supply loosens.
Cast a wide net: call multiple dealers (including regional), ask for incoming stock or swaps, and be flexible on colour or options.
If you’re impatient, consider demo or near‑new on Tradingpost, or a different spec that’s already on a ship—or better, already here.
Always get ETAs in writing and check weekly; allocation and shipping shift faster than your willpower around a bakery pie.
