I may be wrong, but Manheim is using data gleaned from dealer purchases of used cars at auction. I don't think "clunkers" play a big role in this process.Scott Grannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028519647946868684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-30297551983326505472010-12-13T06:58:26.389-08:002010-12-13T06:58:26.389-08:00this is pap journalism. you really should re eval...this is pap journalism. you really should re evaluate your blog posts come the new year. focus exclusively on the macro date of real importance and your good eye/ear towards government induced theft of money weath through inflation.septizoniomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253705209662419429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-38738654144148599392010-12-13T06:12:55.339-08:002010-12-13T06:12:55.339-08:00Scott,

Up nearly 6 percent in last year, although such prices were depressed. <br /><br />But also note the index was at 117.5 in Feb. 2001 and is now at 124.4--in other words, it has risen 5.7 percent in nine years. Inflation? <br /><br />And we don't know if quality has improved in that time period. <br /><br />Hardware inBenjamin Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001038338873263877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-892282077012191542010-12-10T16:14:40.122-08:002010-12-10T16:14:40.122-08:00Used car prices?

Is the mix of cars consistent? <br /><br />What if a lot of distressed homeowners are unloading two-year-old Mercedes? Does that pull up the index?<br /><br />Also, cars are way better than 10-20 years ago. <br /><br />A car today goes to 200k miles easy, and more if you baby it.
