This microchip chip issue is never going to end extend date just delay over delay .Looking to order a Terrain denali for 2022 model year but dealer said put the order in and wait in the Q and hopefully I should get it with next few month but can’t promise anything this is all crazy and sure don’t want to over pay for a used one !!! That’s for sure the price of 1 year old with 10k is almost same price as new !!! I guess just going to wait and ride the storm and watch for the outcome and hope there is a good outcome!
