“Used Car Prices Up 30% as the government CARS program disrupts supply for used cars. Results: Poor people have trouble finding decent cars and the larger economy will suffer.”

Gosh!

This is such and unexpected terrible news for the poor, the minorities, and the illegals.

Just WHO exactly could have predicted this? I know I didn’t.

And certainly not the eggheads at Congress and the White House. I know they pored over every possible detail and potential outcome of the Cash For Clunkers program. But this was never foreseen.

Seems to me a bunch of people (mostly conservatives) were warning that this very thing would happen.

How many more months before Obama and Congress try to bail out those who bought a new car under the Cash-for Clunkers program and can't make the payments???

My father just told me yesterday — he has an ‘07 Chrysler Town and Country on which the lease is up in September. Buyout is around $13.5K. Used ‘07s are listing for $17.5 to $18K where he’s at now due to lack of inventory.

Man, Obama is just making my policy class for next term. I won’t even have to make a syllabus, just tell the class to turn on the news and pick a story! So many policy failures, so little time. : )

of course, all of the demand is being front loaded, and if C for C is not renewed we may see prices for ALL cars, new and used, collapse in the 4th qtr.

Wonder what will happen when some of these folks who rushed to exchange their clunker for a new car cannot keep up the payments.

More bailouts?

Car satisfaction numbers are up.

My guess?

leasing adds a lot of "fungability" to the car market.

Now people almost have to purchase vs. lease.

Much different ball game...

Ahhh..., now is the time to sell that used car that’s been sitting around at your place — and you’ve been wondering what to do with.... LOL...

There’s not a better time to do it, than right now!
