Used car prices
Wow used car prices are high. My friend and I where looking on auto trader and most cars are in the 18 - 23k range for 3 year old cars. From 07 IS350's to 07 Altima's prices are the same. There are even some over priced suv for example an 08 MDX at 32k or a 07 RL at 26K. Wow I guess the used market hot. No reason to buy used now when I see a maxima costing as much as a is350.

Last year, with most automakers providing excellent financing options (usually 0% APR), it was sometimes cheaper to buy new than used. Used car priced had to drop.
Now that financing is not as good, especially since the beginning of the year usually don't offer many incentives for new cars, used car prices have increased.
If you can wait, give it time. The market will swing again...

In that mid-range price point you might view the prices as high, but as the prices increase it is incredible to see the depreciation. It is amazing what you can pick up some of the Porsche/MB/BMW, etc. right now.
Might have to come for a visit S when I get to car shopping this spring.

That and the ridiculously high inventory's across the country for true luxury/perfomance cars.
