I have noticed that too. The Cash for clunkers program in 2009 took thousands of used cars off the market. The ones that remain are way overpriced. There has also been a quantum leap forward in engine technology on all fronts. And gas prices in the USA are up slightly. This is the first time in the car market where buying a new car actually makes more economic sense than a used car. My brother bought a Spark. My co-worker traded his gas guzzling V6 Mazda6 and bought a Fiesta because he drives 100 miles a day. I crushed a 16 mpg 91 560sel in perfect condition to buy my 09 Fit.
