You'll find it just means prices are ~$2,000 more than other markets. Consumers factor in things like that when making purchasing decisions, and dealerships increase price to keep up with the artificially stimulated demand.

It ends up being mostly a payment to used car salesmen.

These idiotic schemes always have unintended consequences and rarely do much to address any ostensible problem.
