I will add that used car prices are actually on their way up.. There is a real shortage of good used stuff right now. as an example this time last year there was 2600 cars on the Adessa dealerblock.. right now there are about 1200

Thanks to both of you... just to follow-up: you both mentioned auction sites -- is there a way to find prices for "completed auctions"? Also, for consumers (who primarily deal with dealers and/or private sales versus auctions), would the best bet to research be to look at comparables on autotrader, etc and then including a slight discount?
