Don't let the facts get in his way! I guess you could argue that a lot of the clunkers that would normally go onto the used car market, increasing supply, instead were junked, decreasing the overall supply of used cars and driving up used prices in general. However it's a real stretch to believe that someone who was looking for a used Explorer or F150 instead went shopping for a used Corolla because the Explorers and F150s went to the junkyard.

All in all, the pool of used cars got smaller, and cirius paribus, the number of people probably remained about the same. Didn't you take Econ 101? Fewer used cars drives up the price of the remaining ones on average. Oh, I keep forgetting, figures don't lie, but Commucraps figure. . . . . Charles Grozny
