You don't have to believe it, but why would chip shortages impact used cars.

You were the one who assumed it was new new cars.

Part of the reason that used cars are in such short supply is that so many bought the used ones up.

We had an epidemic in my city of people with cars who never had one before, accidents everywhere. Paper plates were all you saw for months.

The bus lines speak for themselves.

The used cars didn't increase in value until well into the pandemic.

Blah blah sometimes explaining the real world to people in bubbles gets so old.
