[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 559023, member: 60724"] >> What would be the difference between me driving my domestic into the ground or 10 people buying the same import? There is still two cars on the road. The difference is resales scatter, often through auction houses. A large number of used cars get sold in auctions, and a large number of trade-ins get moved out of city and state and go wherever the market is better. I have traded in LOTS of vehicles, and returned off-lease vehicles as well, some with high mileage some with relatively low mileage, all in GOOD condition, and I have YET to see one go back for sale on the dealer lot where I traded it in. Also, you seem to assume that the "new car" and "resale" market for a given make of car would be more or less the same for a single area (in other words, those that trade in for new cars can feed the resale market). I don't see that as the case at all. It might be the case, but again, it need not be. Greenwhich Connecticut has a very good luxury import market (BMWs, Mercs, Lexus), but no were NEAR as strong a resale market for those cars...and that area turns those new cars over fairly quickly. What happens with all those 2 and 3 year old, low mileage luxuries...they are resold elsewhere. TJR [/QUOTE]
