Acura Factory Order

If you’re shopping for a new car around Grand Prairie, you’ve likely heard about the national inventory shortage. It’s hard to find a new or used vehicle right now, and when they do pop up, they feature dramatically inflated prices. This is because of a global semiconductor shortage that slowed down automotive production. Learn about what the chip shortage is, and how Southview Acura can help you order an Acura online.

By ordering a vehicle before it is in stock, at the Edmonton showroom, you can avoid paying an inflated price for your next model. There are numerous other benefits as well. Once you’re done reading, contact Southview Acura to build a custom Acura factory order!

What is the Chip Shortage?

There’s currently a global semiconductor chip shortage. All modern vehicles feature thousands of semiconductor chips, which transmit electrical signals throughout your vehicle. They’re what allow Fort McMurray drivers to roll down their windows with the click of a button, or switch on their headlights. Unfortunately, 90% of semiconductor chips are produced at a few factories in Taiwan. The production process requires massive amounts of water, and there’s been an ongoing drought in Taiwan.

To exacerbate the situation, quarantine quadrupled demand for personal electronics, so the pandemic has created massive demand in the midst of production obstacles, leading to a global shortage in automotive production. Simply put, it’s hard to find a car right now at a reasonable price. However, take a moment to learn how to order a vehicle before it’s in stock at Southview Acura, and you can largely circumvent the supply-chain issues.

How to Order an Acura Online

Your jaw may have dropped when you saw the price for an Acura in stock at your local Sherwood Park Acura dealer. You can thank the chip shortage, high consumer demand, and low supply for those prices. Fortunately, Southview Acura has a solution. Place an Acura factor order through us, and we can get you a new car at its suggested retail price—the price you would have paid had for a model in more conventional times. To do so, just use our vehicle configurator, accessible through the button at the top of the page.

Using our vehicle configurator, you’ll be able to select the model you want, trim, exterior and interior colours, engine options, drivetrain, interior and exterior accessories, and add-on packages all in one place. Not only can you get the vehicle you want at a reasonable price, but, when you place an Acura factory order, you can customize your model from the bottom up without having to settle for what’s available.

Once you’ve configured your vehicle, request a quote, and one of our associates will be in touch with you to facilitate the rest of the ordering process. Have a trade-in you’d like to put towards the value of your next vehicle? Be sure to value your trade for a quick estimate. Our associate can guide Sherwood Park drivers through the next steps. Bear in mind that deliveries take between 3 and 8 months, depending upon which type of vehicle you order.
