QFT + 1 million. People I know in the business are saying it has easily added $1000 to used car prices right off the bat and will make it even worse as time goes on.
I've been helping my son look for a used car and it's way past ridiculous now. Nothing on the lots, and what's there is seriously inflated.
Very sad that 2k won't buy a damn thing now, but that's how things are. Even mid 90's models of just about anything are more than that these days.
edit --- sorry, elementis, that wasn't very helpful, but it's frustrating trying to find an affordable, reliable used car. I would just start searching local classifieds and doing some decent internet searching. You'll have to be prepared to do some of the routine stuff like tires, brakes, battery, etc. if you want to save some money on a used car.
We did end up finding a 2000 Cavalier with 96k on it for 2700. The owner took really good care of it and it's in great shape.
