oh, ah, a couple days ago

I posted that there is a shortage of used cars pushing the prices upward
 
I was told it's because the economy is so bad people aren't buying new cars and trading in old cars
 
actually shortages of products is always fueled by increased demand which is always fueled by increased income
 
a sure sign of a better economy

You keep on believing that fairy tale...I see nothing but unsold inventory (new & used). America will speak about your obama's handling of the economy this Nov 2nd...just so you know...caserio!!

the people who obeyed orders all their life are not the people who understand what makes the world go round

Caserio, you are right that the prices are moving upward, but the quality of the vehicles is poor, very poor.  I know because we are trying to find a car for our son.  People are selling to MAKE MONEY and they are trying to pass off rebuilt, salvage vehicles for much more than the book prices...
 
Many of the salvage cars are those that were supposed to be crushed in the cash for clunkers..but dealers never got paid and so they sold the cars at auction, many times the engines were replaced with foreign ones (the russians around here buy in bulk from Japan which has laws that you can't use an engine after 50,000 miles, so they are replaced), then they rebuild the cars and get the titles reworked. INsurance companies are also selling the majority of totalled cars at auction and those are showing up on lots in droves...
 
We've seen hundreds of cars in the past couple months and can count on one hand those without salvage or rebuild titles...
 
It's not helping the market at all... in my opinion...

nevertheless
 
demand is increasing because people have more money
 
one does not shop for a car when one has no money
 
thus
 
there is only one reason why there is more money
