Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jul 02, 2009 12:25 pm) This is my speculation, based on what I've seen in our region: While Chrysler factories were closed for a month, inventory was getting slim, and dealers turned to auctions to buy up used 1 year old models to sell on their lots. Because the new car shortage affected most Chrysler dealers, and not just a few dealers in a specific region), most of them were after the same cars (ex rental Dodges, Jeeps) at the auction so because demand was up, so was the bidding on these cars, and ultimately their auction selling prices. This would have an effect on retail selling prices, and would create a slight bump. This would also have a minimal trickle down effect to the bottom feeder type used cars as well.\ Another possibility of why used car values might be up slightly, especially on older sub $2k cars, is because it has gotten harder to obtain sub prime financing, especially for folks with recent lates and repos, so they have no choice but to turn to the bottom end of the used car market and buy such cars for cash. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jul 02, 2009 1:40 pm) I think that's the problem (2009 Ford Focus). The base model doesn't have a remote and you can't pull the little button up from inside, so the driver has to go around and unlock the door for the passenger before getting into the car himself. Kind of awkward!
